How will the Celtics do in the first 8 games back.

[Csfan1984]

3-5

They didn't have the best chemistry before the shut down. Don't see them getting it together till game 4.

Have we seen a schedule yet?

I think the biggest variable is going to be, who stayed in shape during this period? The layoff and return might benefit younger guys who can get back into playing shape faster than older guys. But it might also benefit older guys who have been more disciplined and are more likely to have home facilities. 

I guess it'll depend on the individual.

the only thing i have seen thus far says that teams will play their normal schedule of games, skipping those team who are not making the playoffs. is this correct? i don't know.

Opponents:

Bucks vs Celtics would be a great NBA re-opening national TV game.

I say 5-3.  Maybe they win one of the Bucks / Toronto games, but they drop a couple others that they should win.

I doubt we catch Toronto, and I doubt Miami catches us.  With no home games, no fans though, only advantage of getting the 2 seed is playing the Nets vs the 76ers.

This will be such a unique situation for these games, I am expecting the unexpected though.  The main losers in all of this are the top 2-3 seeds in each conf who no longer have a home court advantage.

Yeah that would be a nice way to start it off, ending with a C's win, and a little boost going into the playoffs.
