After a dominant title season, some might have had the natural inclination to think the Celtics could win 70 or even reach the 73-win record the Warriors set in 2015-16 this season.
Boston won 64 games last year and posted the fifth-best point differential ever in a single season before going 16-3 in the playoffs. It brought back virtually everyone who helped it win the title last season, too.
However, the one person who’s been a part of the only two 70-win seasons in NBA history doesn’t think it’d be a good idea for the Celtics to chase the record or the 70-win threshold.
