How Many Regular Season Games Will The Cletics Win This Year?

10-2.
66-16 overall.
After we clinch overall home court the bench will get a lot of playing time as the starters are resting but I think they’ll be hyped to show what they can do and keep the pedal to the metal.

I said 55 or 56 to start the year. So don't count on me for an intelligent numero.

Went with 65 games.  They go 8-3 the rest of the way

With the way our bench is playing even when 2-3 starters rest, we are still winning.  

9 and 2 would tie the 2007-08 66 win team.

I went with 64. Figure they will rest the starters and work on certain things for the playoffs, so 7-4 might be reasonable.

The Celtics are in the ATL for an unusual 2 game stint.  The Celtics are going to sweep through Atlanta like Sherman.

Then it is down to NOLA for a game against the very competitive Pelican.  Unfortunately their 2nd top scorer, Brandon Ingram is out for 2 weeks with a knee injury

The last of our 6 game road trip is at Charlotte (The only scrub team that we have lost to)  I do not see us losing to them twice.

Our 1st game back will be OKC.   The Celtics are very likely to be motivated to even the score.  Plus if by chance OKC is still in the mix for the top seed we will have more then one reason to set the record straight.  

The Kings and Portland come in after that to complete our short 3 game home stand. (nothing to see here...move along)

A trip out to Milwaukee for our last road game will not have any impact on our positioning.  The game could however serve as a pre-playoff game against a worthy opponent.

Then we got the Knicks coming to town.  We are 3-0 against them this year but have not played them with their additions and a bill of health.  That will be a fun game for us to see.

Charlotte (B2B 2nd game) and the wizards complete the schedule.  

The Celtics should be favored to win 10 out of these remaining 11 games (Bucks on the road being the exception)   A lot of teams are nursing injuries and a lot of teams are resting guys.  We have the depth to rest some starters and play some starters and still win games because of our our bench.

Our 65 win total may be conservative.  9-2 the rest of the way is very, very possible.

Sort of a Family Reunion/Easter/Celtics Game Holiday weekend.

Spectrum Center is going to be a giant sea of green!!  MVP chants for Tatum.  LOL

I can't wait.

Hats off to your nephew.  It is special when that next generation has the foresight  and the means to do something like that.

Actually I would call it excellent.  I think it was 4th best ever for Boston.
