Sheed: “I Think We Can Get That Bulls Record…”

Via Tom Halzack in the Connecticut Post:

Rasheed Wallace…

Oh definitely. Definitely, playing with those
three other guys, also combining that with the guys we have on the
bench, I think we can definitely can. Me personally, I think we can get
that Bulls record. You know we have the talent for it. We have the will
for it and…I think we have the defense for it.

Do you want me to use that?

You can. Because honestly, I really do feel
that. That was a good team. They had some HOFs  on there, but we have a
few on this team, too.

That’s a high mark to shoot for…

Definitely.

Doc has also talked about having the best defense ever like, he uses
the Chicago Bears the ‘85 team, taking that kind of mentality

We want our mark to be known as a defensive team, not just high scorers.

Along with the 72-10 record, the Bulls also had the top rated offense, top rated defense, scored 105.2 ppg while giving up 92.9 for a spread of 12.3 points.

Health and age will be major factors in this goal. But consider this; during that 95-96 season Michael Jordan was 33, Dennis Rodman was 35 and Scottie Pippen was 30.

So whaddya think? Can this Celtics team win 70+ games?
