Celtics Schedule Thread--First Half of Schedule Out

[celticfan42487]

I really didn't realize we'd be out Kemba and Romeo for awhile.

I know we may lose some games but at least this opens some developmental minutes for some of those players we keep drafting at the PG spot.

Teague/Pritchard
Smart / Carsen Edwards
Brown / Nesmith

Then the bigs are pretty locked in:
Tatum/ (one of Grant Williams or TimeLord or Semi)
Theis / TT

Don't get me wrong, that's kind of not a playoff team. Or at best the talent level of an 8th seed playoff team. But we should at least have some room for either Carsen Edwards/Pritchard/Waters/Green to establish themselves. If they can take it, the minutes will be there for them to show it and take it in January.

I may've missed some, but I saw the following teams will be playing the Celtics on their own second of B2Bs:

12/27 @IND
1/10 vs. MIA
2/23 @DAL
2/24 @ATL

So 7 B2Bs to 4 games vs. teams on B2Bs. Just like last year, we play more teams on B2Bs then teams face us on them (I think). Luckily our team is young

We have a chance to really stack some Ws early on

Very strange schedule but obviously I see what the NBA is doing.

Breaking Down the First Half of the 2020-21 Celtics Schedule

Introducing the Two-Game "Series"
In order to decrease the amount of travel this season, the NBA has redesigned its schedule to allow teams to play each other in back-to-back games without boarding a plane in between. The Celtics, for example, will have five two-game series during the first half of their season, including four such matchups within the first month.

Boston will experience its first two-game series on its very first road trip of the season, when it travels to Indiana to take on the Pacers for Games 3 and 4 of the campaign on Dec. 27 and Dec. 29. It will then come home for one game against Memphis, before hitting the road for another two-game tilt in Detroit, taking place on New Years Day and on Jan. 3

The C’s will then host its first series against Orlando on Jan. 13 and Jan. 15. It will then have another road series in Philadelphia on Jan. 20 and 22, before hosting its final series of the first half against Atlanta on Feb. 17 and Feb. 19.

As you can see, none of these series are taking place in back-to-back form, so the visiting team will arrive, play its first game, and then have one day off before wrapping up the series on the third day.

Scheduling Note: I want to win all the games if possible.
