The playoff hungry Celtics are real, and they're spectacular.

After knocking off the Cavs in Cleveland tonight (thank you LeBron and Kevin Love for sitting out the fourth quarter), the Celtics are now 37-42.  However, a little over two months ago, they were 16-30.  In its last 33 games, Boston is 21-12.

East top 8 since Feb. 2, roughly 40% of season: Cavs 22-8 Hawks 20-11 CELTICS 21-12 Pacers 19-11 Nets 19-14 Bulls 17-13 Wiz 14-17 Raps 14-17

The Celtics have won six in a row on the road, something they last did in 2010 (when Shaquille O'Neal was playing center).  Boston's victory tonight snapped an 18-game home winning streak for the Cavs as well.  There was also this:

I never understood why LeBron feels the need to always dunk so hard.  I'm surprised he doesn't miss more often.

And in case the above title doesn't ring a bell...
