8 games vs the East. Could only beat the Warriors by 5 last night. They've played Cleveland three times and the Knicks twice. They've haven't played a quality western team as of yet.

Sure their style, defence, and personae are all equally horrid and detestable, but I think the Rockets are the scariest team in the league as far as the Raptors repeat aspirations are concerned.

The Celtics did play Cleveland three times, but two of them were in preseason. : )
I kinda think this has some truth:
As far as the quality western teams- spot on. They're on the road and will play Phoenix on the second night of a back to back, then the Clippers and Denver. It's not likely they'll get through that unscathed.
Tatum is the opposite of DeRozan. He's shooting and hitting the 3 but not the 2, and he's clutch.
He definitely is struggling right now with layups and midrange jumpers. Strong defense though and his season long plus/minus is by far the best in the league. He's got talent. He'll get there.

I searched their schedule and the one I found didn't differentiate between Preseason and RS. Should have looked at the dates. They have played NY twice, Cleveland once, and Wizards once. That's four gimmes right there. Also, they barely beat the last place Warriors. We have not played a bottom seeded team once as of yet.
Plus minus doesn't mean much when you consider the Celtics schedule.

We played the pelicans twice the kings and the pistons. Pretty **** teams. That being said I agree the Celtics are overrated.

Celtics have had an easy schedule to start the season. Knicks x2, Cavaliers, Hornets, Spurs, Wizards, Warriors. That's 7 of their 11 games played so far, and their average margin of victory against those below .500 teams is +12.00. Against the four above .500 teams they've played so far, that margin of victory is just +3.25.
By SOS they've had the second easiest schedule (-1.93) behind the Pacers (-2.32).
