Not surprisingly, at this moment Boston has the easiest remaining schedule.
I was surprised by that number at first but I guess it's down to the fact that they really haven't played any bad teams yet. 11 games in, and they have only faced one tanking team (Washington). No Memphis, Portland, Detroit, Charlotte, San Antonio yet (add Utah and Chicago to the list if you consider them as tanking).
The current strength of schedule is .600 and the remaining stregth of schedule is .479. Basically the average team the Celtics have faced is on a 49 win pace and the average team they have remaining on their schedule is on a 39 win pace. Things are about to get a lot easier lol.
