After a worrisome slump around the holidays, Gang Green is dominant once again...Heading into Sunday's showdown in the Garden with Dallas, the Celts boast a seven game winning streak with some astonishing maulings of Phoenix, Miami, and Orlando, with the last two coming on the road.

Cleveland remains the biggest concern and obstacle...
