How Many Games Will the Celtics Win?

[A Future of Stevens]

48-34.

I think they will just outscore teams sometimes with a fast paced run and gun style. However, I also think whatever success they find in the regular season won't translate to the playoffs if they make it.

To answer my own question: 42 wins. Coming into the post season I would have said 38 but I'm more encouraged now that their defense will be good enough even if their big man rotation isn't great. I think they'll swarm, force turnovers, and the only weak spot they have is Simons. I think they have the upside to get to the 44-46 range with a little luck.

My question is.. How many games will JB play?  Last year he played 63. Hopefully he can play 70 or so this year, but I wouldn?t bet on that.

I'm going to say at least 45 games. That's a 55% win rate. They have too much talent to slip below .500. Jaylen Brown and White are still All-star caliber players.

They have decent pieces. Maybe they're not conference finalists like before, but they will definitely be competitive.

82. Why do we even this thread?

I voted 39-43, but I wouldn't be surprised if they exceed that if the key guys remain healthy.

Whatever happens, this season is going to be interesting.

I went with 44-48. I think they'll play hard and their offense will keep them in a lot of games, then Tatum will return in March and give them a boost for a late season push.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they stumbled out of the gates and then JB caught an injury and they wind up winning 25 games.

Not many if Jalen doesn?t figure out how to take care of his hamstrings
