We’ve heard a lot of predictions for this team so far. Many of them have the team finishing in the 40-something win range, but I’ve yet to see even the most optimistic of Celtics fans come close to what the folks at Nylon Calculus came up with.

Last year my predictions, using a blend of my Player Tracking Plus Minus (PT-PM) and a Regularized Adjusted Plus Minus (RAPM)2 player metrics, finished at near the top of the APBR metric predictions, whether by luck or by skill.
