Can't wait for December to be over. The Celtics literally do not play consecutive games at home the entire month. They've only had consecutive home games twice on the season.
In January, they have two weeklong stretches in which they don't need to board a plane. Should be able to get an actual practice in -- I doubt they've had anything more than some light walkthroughs since that fateful practice where Zeller knocked out Al in early November. Any experimenting Brad wants to do with lineups has to come in game situations.
Yeah, I thought our schedule had been brutal. I remember them saying last game that we've had the most away games so far and are tied for the least amount of home games so far, or something like that.
It's definitely been brutal. It's not just the amount of road games, but also the amount of travel between them. We've only had one game since we went to Philly in which the team didn't have to fly more than 800 miles from the prior game -- and even that trip was still 400 miles. Spending hours in a plane every other day takes its toll both physically and mentally.
Beginning in January, the schedule is so much nicer. There's one nasty trip in beginning of March in which we could lose four of five, but if we can hold onto the third seed through the end of this month, the rest of the season should look really good. I see a lot of 7-3 stretches ahead.
