Will the C's have the best single-season turnaround...

...in NBA history?
The current record is at 36 wins more than the previous season, set by the San Antonio Spurs in Duncan's rookie season. They went 20-62 in 1996-97, and improved to 56-26 in 1997-98.
The current Celtics record, and previous league record, is 32 wins, set in 1979-80, Bird's rookie season. We improved from 29 wins to 61.
So do you think the current C's can break both of those records? They would have to go 13-9 in their final 22 games, of which they only play 7 games against +.500 teams (Utah, San Antonio, Houston, Phoenix, Dallas, 2x New Orleans).
I think it's very likely. Finally we make history again!
