Celtics’ Players Hopeful About Playoffs

As wild as it sounds, the Celtics, less-than-proud owners of the fourth-worst record in the NBA, still have postseason-in-the-sky dreams, even during a campaign when most of their fans have accepted that management has its eyes set on a lottery pick.

“The East schedule isn’t that crazy, so a couple of games where we can string some wins together, you never know,” point guard Rajon Rondo said after practice Tuesday.

“Anything is possible in the Eastern Conference,” said forward Gerald Wallace. “It’s not like the Western Conference where if you lose two, three games in a row, you’re pretty much out of it,” Wallace said. “We can get hot, win five or six games and it can turn things around in the Eastern Conference.”
