Celtics will again have a rest advantage when they face the Thunder tomorrow at home. OKC is playing the Sixers tonight, with Embiid possibly back. SGA is listed as QUESTIONABLE with a right quad contusion against Philly. So is Jalen Williams with a right ankle sprain.

Lone 60-win teams this millennium:
PHX 2022
MIL 2019
HOU 2018
SAS 2014*
CLE 2010
BOS 2008*
PHX 2005
IND 2004
SAC 2002

Only 2 of the last 9 lone 60-win teams went on to win the title.

Let's go 1-7 in our last 8 games!

OKC lost, making the Celtics the only team capable of winning 60 this season.

Bumping this. You have been warned, Cs. There’s still a chance to lose all remaining games!!

Celtics only need to win one more game to clinch home court throughout the playoffs now, correct?

Yup
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

• every Central Division team
• every Atlantic Division team
• every Southeast Division team except Hornets
• every Southwest Division team except Pelicans
• Lakers, Clippers, Kings
• Wolves, Jazz

Teams the Cs have yet to beat:
• Nuggets
• Thunder
• Blazers (2 gms left)
• Pelicans (2 gms left)
• Hornets (2 gms left)
• Suns (2 gms left)
• Warriors

Only team we didn't end up beating was the Denver Nuggets. There's still a chance for that in the Finals.

Return to Boston Celtics
