I'll say 1-3.

Interestingly, the Raptors next three opponents include the Grizz, the Nets, and the Wiz. Do the Celtics have another gear? We should find out in the next four games. The real question might be whether the Celtics have figured out a way to finish games off.

Last year, the Celtics dealt the Kings their worst home loss in franchise history. So Vlade Divac and company (er, I mean Paul Westphal and company) will be motivated. How will the Celtics respond to a home team hungry for payback?

Lakers Season Hits New Low

The Los Angeles Lakers became only the fourth team in the NBA this year to lose consecutive games to the Charlotte Bobcats and the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Lakers, however, outdid their competition in one regard.

They were the only team among the four to lose both games at home.
