Eleven times the Celtics have started their season 5-0. 
All 11 made the East Finals; 9 made the NBA Finals; and 6 were NBA Champs

Let's do it again!

23-24 -- NBA Champs
09-10 -- East Champs
07-08 -- NBA Champs
87-88 -- East Finals appearance
84-85 -- East Champs
72-73 -- East Finals appearance
67-68 -- NBA Champs
64-65 -- NBA Champs
63-64 -- NBA Champs
59-60 -- NBA Champs
57-58 -- East Champs

Coming out focused on day 1 is definitely important.

I'm hoping Tatum sees this season as his quest to get himself a Finals MVP.

Looking at the first 7 games of the season, the Celtics can eminently win all 7. Having NY and Milwaukee at home helps but Indiana away might be tough.
