Rest of month schedule?

[celticsclay]

Looking at our schedule the rest of the month we hit the road for a long west coast trip. However, some of the game are against teams struggling (Sac, Golden State) then some tougher teams (Suns, Clippers, Denver) before returning home for games against Brooklyn, @brooklyn and versus Sacramento. What do people predict we will do? I am predicting 5-3. The game in LA will be really tough because presumably we will be facing both George and Leonard.

I’ll concede 1 loss to the clips or nuggets. But not both.
4 and 1

without Hayward steady court presence Celtics gonna loose the tuffer away games. Smart can't play 48 min.

Being #1 you have a giant bullseye on you .

I predict the Suns will be waiting for the Celtics , like a Tiger waiting for an antelope to walk by  .

Celtics will be taken to the woodshed.   Blow out big time .


2 wins 3 losses       with Hayward we could have went 5 -0 4-1

I would say a lot depends on Theis and Robert Williams. If they are both available at near full strength, I think we go 3-2 or 4-1.

Without them and without Hayward, the defense that makes us special just isn't near the same level. We'll win some by out scoring other teams like we did last night, but that's not going to cut it on a long road trip every night.

If our squad is healthy with the exception of Hayward I don't think we'll drop more than 2 games. I think we'll go 4-1 and probably drop a game to the Suns powered by All-Star calibre centre Aron "Tippy-Toe" Baynes

I like how Nick was posting about the rest of the month and every subsequent poster only talked about the road trip.  People are ready for December I guess!

@ GSW 11/15
@ SAC 11/17
@ PHO 11/18
@ LAC 11/20
@ DEN 11/22
vs SAC 11/25
vs BRK 11/27
@ BRK 11/29

Here are the games and dates. C's are 6-0 on the month with eight to go. the back to back ending in PHO will be  a tough game, as will LAC. DEN has a good record and plays at altitude but they haven't been that imposing this year, ATL just beat them at home. SAC, BRK, BRK should all be wins. I will say 6-2 although really there are 5 games the C's should win, and 3 they should lose so maybe 6-2 is optimistic. Also Hayward is out all these games.

I’m thinking 5-3, which I’d be quite happy with.  That’d bring us to 14-4 on the season, or a 64-win pace, and likely still tops in the conference and potentially league, having played 4 more road games than home games.  3-3 split on the road, 2-0 at home.

[ETNCeltics]

If we can go 5-3, we'd be at 14-4, extraordinary considering Gordon missed half the games and we haven't had more than maybe one game where all the bigs were available.

Phoenix looks iffy, but Brad Stevens teams have a history of upsetting a good team on the west coast swing. It wouldn't shock me to see a win in either Denver or LAC.

[nickagneta]

6-2.

[Fafnir]

Yeah going 3-2 is my hope for the road trip. Better would be nice but its tough on those long west coast road trips. DEN in particular is a rough place to play.

[slamtheking]

5-3.  3 losses will be the last 3 games on the west coast swing.  we'll see how they deal with a mini-losing streak

[Sophomore]

Heart says 6-2, head says 5-3.

[LilRip]

I think we go 5-3 or 4-4 (if we catch ourselves slipping). Also, injuries are taking a toll. Not having Theis/Time/Hayward hurts!

I believe TL and Theis are on the trip.
