Things are looking very good in Celtics land as of late. The Cs have won four in a row and seven out of their last nine games. As it stands right now, Boston is the 5th seed in the Eastern Conference and are only half a game back of Chicago for 4th and one game behind Atlanta for 3rd. In addition to the team playing extremely well right now, their upcoming schedule gives great optimism for the Celtics to continue climbing up the standings.
Schedule is really set up for the Celtics to make a run. Just 2 of next 17 games are against playoff locks.
