Paul Pierce's Celtics have won 19 straight. AP

Chris "The Quilt" Mannix joined the show to break down the NBA:

-- Mannix thinks that the Celtics have no chance to win more than 72 games. Mannix doesn't think that the Celtics are as good as they were last year. He thinks that they'll miss James Posey. They may be a better regular season team, but they'll be worse in the playoffs.

-- Dan asked Mannix who threatens the Celtics. He said Cleveland by far. Mannix said LeBron James has improved because of the Olympics. James has upped his defense in a big way, and so has Mo Williams.

-- Mannix thinks the Lakers will get better in the postseason, while the Celtics will get worse. The Lakers are having trouble integrating Andrew Bynum into the offense. He thinks the Celtics are catching the Lakers at the right time and Boston will handle them easily.

-- Mannix thinks LeBron has to stay with the Cavaliers. He says that LeBron will never win a title with the Knicks. But LeBron could win multiple championships in Cleveland. Mannix blames Nike for messing with LeBron's head.
