Good teams are suppose to beat bad teams...looking forward to the Philly game.
Yeah. They're also supposed to beat good teams, which we haven't seen yet. Hopefully we do soon.
BOS beat NYK and lost to DET and HOU. HOU was on the road, in a back to back, without PG. They kind of conceded that one. DET was a very strange loss. NYK is off to a slow start so that win may not be representative.
BOS may go 0.500 or worse vs the true contending teams. But that is likely going to be true for many of the contending teams. This game in PHI is a good test. BOS is actually favored by 1.5 pts, which I find surprising, while ESPN Analytics gives PHI a 51.9% probability to win. I would expect PHI to be favored at home.
that seems ridiculous that the C's are favored in Philly. Is Philly sitting all their starters except JB or something?
They have insider info we don't?
that's what I'm wondering. what is it that they know that would explain that betting line?
Maybe the Celtics are a better team when fully healthy...
if they had beaten anyone of note, maybe. I wouldn't agree with it but I'm not the one making money on the odds.
Yeah, if they had beaten the defending champ Knicks or something..

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.
