The Other NBA Win Streak

Another team which has been left in the shadow of the Houston Rockets' recent blastoff is the Boston Celtics. The Celtics as of Wednesday night defeated the Sonics 111-82 to extend their own win streak to 10 games. While it's only half the total of Houston's winning streak, it still shows the Celtics are a team to be reckoned with in the East.

The Celtics are far from forgeotten, as they've been the talk of the town and the NBA since the big 3 was formed. As stated before, there's really just 4 teams to consider potential champions in the East: Boston, Detroit, Cleveland and Orlando. Each of the 4 teams has a legitimate shot at winning a spot in the NBA Finals. After those 4, it's hard to say the Sixers, Nets, Bulls or Raptors will be getting to the Finals. Orlando will be riding on the hopes of their man in the middle, Dwight Howard. The other 3, Detroit, Boston, and Cleveland will most likely be duking it out.

Meanwhile the Rockets continue their rise out West, but have a tough game coming up this weekend against the Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe Bryant is a man who loves to "rise" to challenges, so don't be surprised if he's the man to bring the Rockets back down to Earth.
