…on March 5th.
Mike:

Geez.  The eastern conference is an absolute joke.
John:

Way to kill my excitement.

From NBA Power Rankings:
#1 (39-9) Boston’s not some Eastern Conference bully inflating its record against easy competition. The C’s are 16-0 against the West.
John:

Damn straight!
Did you watch them beat the Spurs without KG the other night?
Mike:

No.
Don’t make me regret sending you anything regarding the Celtics.
John:

“Earlier in the day, guard Sam Cassell said he was hoping to be bought out of his contract with the Clippers, which would allow him to sign with Boston. The 38-year-old added that he would have no problems playing behind Rondo.”

I feel sick…
From Dime Power Rankings:  Kevin Garnett is your early MVP front-runner; he’s leading Boston in rebounds, assists and steals (on pace for career-highs in each category), not to mention blocks, and is also up there for Defensive Player of the Year.
John:

Yup.  The guy is a monster.  A 7-0 start is nice, but they’re […]

John:

What are the odds of all three of these happening given what we know about each team?
Red Sox 2007 World Series Champs
Patriots 2008 Super Bowl Champs
Celtics 2008 NBA Champs
Mike:

At first look, I thought that the chances were good. But I really think the chances are very, very low. Red Sox are only slightly […]
