The Celtics finish the regular season 64-18 and were 14 games ahead of second place, the largest conference lead since the merger in 1976. Their 11.7 net rating was third in NBA history, behind the ‘96 and ‘97 Bulls. They won by 30 points 10 times this year, an NBA record.

please go win this damn thing and shut everyone up 🙏🏾
And yet I’m still mad they cheesedicked that game against the Lakers JV.
(I’m not really but god dammit fuck the lakers)
Geez
absolutely no more excuses for these guys whatsoever. it’s put up or shut up time.
How’d you get 11.7 for net rating? Statmuse has them at 11.6 and behind the 16-17 GSW who also have 11.6.
If we don’t win it all… oh man I’m gonna need to meditate A LOT.
18 losses. One loss for every banner. Let’s get it
I am very fucking excited. This is going to hurt like a bastard if we can’t take the whole damn thing….
Only the 96 Bulls and 71 Bucks had a larger Net Ratings gap between them and the 2nd place team. Chicago lost 3 playoff games on the way to a title, Milwaukee lost only 2.
