58.5 is a monster number. I have no problem with anyone taking the under.
SinImportaLoQueDigan
KPâs gonna miss a decent chunk to start the year, so thatâs gonna be accounted for in the projections

Good undercarriage

These are good numbers, I take no issue with this prediction

Iâd still take the over on that, the last time a overall 1 seed didnât have 59 wins was the 2001 spurs, I see a lot of people arguing that the East wonât be able to keep enough for Celtics to hit the over but I think Mazzullas goal will be getting the overall 1 seed again. The real fight will be with the west again.

Eh, thereâs a much better chance starters (ESPECIALLY Al with KP out at start of year) get a lot more rest this year and we try to develop guys somewhat like Queta. Plus we now have the bullseye on our backs from every other team. Iâm fine with that number.

I have no problems with this at all. Weâll see a lot more rest for starters who have had a long summer and KP is gonna miss a lot of time.

It’s very hard to win 60 games. We’re off another deep playoff run. East got better. Not that crazy to me

In 2002, the Pats ran into a buzzsaw and didn’t make the playoffs. In 2005, the Sox got knocked out in the ALDS. In 2005, the Pats had the hardest SoS, were plagued by injuries and got EVERY teams’ best shot and lost a mistake-filled divisional game to the Broncos. Those are just a few examples of *our* teams having a harder road the year after a championship.
Now, this Celtics team is a little different. How?
Champ run was a cakewalk. The NBA did not grind them down. That’s not the Celtics bad, that’s on the LEAGUE. That will help the C’s in spring 2025, those hard minutes they didn’t have to play.
Celtics are returning their entire core. I mean, believe that. What? Really? Unbelievable. That doesn’t happen, ever.
Problems are exactly where you know they are, starting with the big men and with the league waking up and not wanting to see Boston got Back to Back.
Verdict? I kinda see where B/R is coming from but that is why there is an “over” option.

For context on how large the over is here I just did a quick search and it looks like 58.5 is the highest o/u going all the way back to 16 other than the KD warriors who were over 60 for 3 years and only actually hit their over once.
They also wouldâve only hit over 58.5 once out of three times. Taking ANY team over 58.5 is a huge ask.

I was leaning towards 59-23 (1 seed overall)

What is wrong with this fan base? No wonder everyone hates us lol.

I mean to be honest I wouldn’t take any team to win 60+ before the season even starts except maybe the 2017 warriors.
There’s just too much that can happen over the course of a season. I’m confident in us winning 55+ though.

This really isn’t an unreasonable prediction. It’s not a given that there will be a 60-win team for any given season, and the team is going to be missing KP for at least a few months of the season. This is also probably enough wins to still get the 1 seed.
cimmanonrolls
put big money on it then if thatâs such a wild claim.
Aromatic_Tower_405
Yea thatâs generally how it works. Teams have an entire offseason to game plan. Target is on your back. Team isnât as concerned with a 1 seed and more concerned with rest. A lot of teams have a little hangover to start the season and we wonât have Zinger back for a couple months. 56 wins feels close and its still gonna be the 1 seed .
Underrated_Fish
I donât really care how many regular season games the Câs win. I just want them to win 16 playoff games
JohnBagley33
Under is the bet. No Porzingis until 2025 and probably limited minutes for Al. Be mentally prepared for the Celtics to probably be a 3-4 seed this year and hopefully geared up for a long playoff run. Repeating is really hard.
daft_dunkwwwolfey
It’s not crazy, I still have them around 60. But their reasoning that KP will not be 100 for a while makes sense

It’s not that weird. Teams that win the chip usually take it easy in the next regular season.

Tbf they still had us at the best record in the league
ReasonableCup604
I think it is pretty common for the over unders for the top teams in the NBA to be lower than you would expect. Things tend to go wrong, so it is rare for a team to have an over under of 60 or more.
Before the 2016-17 season the Warrior who were 73-9 the year before and added KD had an over/under of 66.5. They won 67.
thelonemagician
56-26 is a damn good regular season
DoomdUser
I highly doubt any rational Celtics fan would be disappointed with a 56 win season. Back to back 60+ win seasons is some dynasty shit, and Iâm not saying the team couldnât do it, but the odds are not in favor of it happening like that.
westerosi_codger
Homer takes ITT are wild. 58.5 is a huge number. Last year the team enjoyed exceptional health, Iâd be surprised if we come close to that this year. Hell weâre starting next year without Porzingis for a huge chunk of time
