In all, the Celts are now just 1-4 against the NBA’s top title contenders (LA, San Antonio, and Cleveland) this season. They were 5-1 against those squads in ’07-’08.
ughh, throwing in san antonio and leaving out the magic for the sake of making us look worse is obnoxious.. also we were 6-2 against those squads last regular season(those teams were also much different last regular season) and 8-5 against LA and cleveland in the playoffs
Also, this isnt last season, the celtics dont have as much urgency and freshness in this regular season, this is fact, there bench isnt quite as good, the schedule has been busier and harder, also those elite teams are all better because we BEAT THEM LAST YEAR IN THE PLAYOFFS and the target on our backs is bigger
