this is stolen from SoSH, but should add some interesting info to our discussion.when stacked up by w/l, the celtics emerge as a very strong team against other playoff teams.https://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?threads/2019-2020-celtics-regular-season-thread.28649/page-32________________I mentioned in the game thread after today's tough loss that the Celtics are 7-4 against the top 8 WCF teams. I decided to do a quick comparison to the East's contenders. As the Celtics have not yet played the Jazz, I did the records for the other teams both with and without the Jazz:Celtics: 7-4Lakers: 1-1Denver: 1-1Clippers: 1-1Harden & The Refs: 0-1Jazz: DNPOKC: 1-0Dallas: 2-0Memphis: 1-0Bucks: 7-3, 6-2 w/o Utah:Lakers: 1-0Denver: 0-1Clippers: 2-0Harden & The Refs: 1-0Jazz: 1-1OKC: 1-0Dallas: 0-1Memphis: 1-0Raptors: 4-5, 3-5 w/o Utah.Lakers: 1-0Denver: DNPClippers: 0-2Harden & The Refs: 0-1Jazz: 1-0OKC: 1-1Dallas: 1-1Memphis: DNPHeat: 5-8, 4-7 w/o Utah.Lakers: 0-2Denver: 0-1Clippers: 0-2Harden & The Refs: 1-1Jazz: 1-1OKC: 1-0Dallas: 1-0Memphis: 1-1Philly: 6-6, 5-5 w/o Utah.Lakers: 1-0Denver: 1-1Clippers: 1-0Harden & The Refs: 0-1Jazz: 1-1OKC: 1-1Dallas: 0-2Memphis: 1-0Pacers: 7-5, 6-4 w/o Utah.Lakers: 1-0Denver: 1-1Clippers: 0-1Harden & The Refs: 0-1Jazz: 1-1OKC: 2-0Dallas: 0-1Memphis: 2-0Meanwhile, looking at how the West's top teams have fared against the 6 legit ECF teams:Lakers: 3-5Denver: 5-3Clippers: 6-4Rockets: 5-2Jazz: 4-5OKC: 2-7Dallas: 5-4Memphis: 1-6

The Celtics will have a chance if Tatum plays like he has been. It's really hard for a player as young as Tatum to do it in the playoffs, though.
