As of now, the Boston Celtics have completed 20 games of their regular season, which is roughly one quarter of the way through. That’s about enough sample size to come to some general conclusions about the team. It doesn’t mean things won’t change between now and June, but real trends have started to emerge from the randomness of individual games.
The Celtics are 15-5 with a perfect 9-0 record at home. Two of their losses came in overtime games and only two were by double digits (including last night’s 10 point loss).
They are 1st in net rating, 10th in offensive rating, and 2nd in defensive rating.
