Bragging rights, Predict Celtics Season Record

[KG Living Legend]

 If Horford and Brown and Green plus the growth of Smart Thomas Rozier Crowder Bradley only give us two more wins, then I want my money back.

[Evantime34]

54 wins.

C's will start out better than they did last year when they tried to drag David Lee's dead corpse over the first 38 games.

Rebounding is my biggest worry, but the increase in our defense from Horford should more than make up for it.

Injuries could always derail the season, but that is true every year. Thomas going down for an extended period of time would probably hurt us the most.

[jambr380]

52-30, alone in third, and 2nd round exit.

[Iggzilla]

55 wins, barring injuries. We were on our way to 50 wins last year before Crowder suffered that high ankle sprain. With the addition of Horford and Brown, and the further improvement of Crowder, Smart and Rozier, there's no reason for us not to get more wins this season.

[positivitize]

55-27.

2nd in East. Lose in 7 to Cleveland in the ECF.

sounds about right.

For some reason I always lose, but here I go again:

82-0

I second this and add an undefeated post season run to the championship. Book it! 

[SparzWizard]

53-29, #2 seed.

Get upset by Indiana Pacers in East Semis.

[BitterJim]

52-30

Horford will help a lot, but it's not easy to win more than 50 games so much more than 50 is really tough to predict

53-29.  I think that adds up to 82.  We lose a few more in March than one might expect as it takes a little while to get Boogie Cousins acclimated after our deadline acquisition, but we get rolling when t counts and make it all the way to the finals before the Warriors defeat us.

Base case scenario

Curious, what would you give up for Boogie?

[alldaboston]

53-29, #2 seed.

Get upset by Indiana Pacers in East Semis.

Would it really be an upset? The pacers had a great offseason and they're a very good team. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they take the second seed.

[Denis998]

56 - 26
ranked #1 in defensive rating. Top 7 Offense

[mmmmm]

54 wins
contention for 2nd seed in East
top 3 defense (DRtg)
top 8 offense (ORtg)

[greece66]

We are still not 100% what our roster will be but

55
