With Wednesday’s 91-69 win over the Nets, a decent but not great team, the Boston Celtics advanced to 7-0. Based on our poll, most of our readers think that the C’s won’t lose until 11/23 or after. Here’s their upcoming schedule:
11/16: vs. MIA
11/18: @ ORL
11/21: vs. GS
11/23: vs. LAL
11/24: @ CHA
11/27: @ CLE
That 11/18 game at Orlando is shaping up to be a good test for the new-look Celtics. If they get by the Magic, the Warriors, Lakers and Cavs should all provide interesting matchups.
It’s no surprise that the Celtics are playing well offensively. With Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, they have three guys that can create their own shot whenever they want. What is surprising, however, is how much defense the C’s are playing. They are first in the league in points allowed (87.1) and in opponent’s FG % (38.9%). If they can keep that up, they’ll be the class of the East.
