    2024 Celtic Playoff Prediction Poll

    What about betting on the Celtics playoffs win differential? What's the over/under on how many more wins than losses? There probably isn't such a bet, at least I've never heard of one.

    2024 Celtic Playoff Prediction Poll

    NHL playoffs are historically a lot more unpredictable than the NBA playoffs. Big upsets happen a lot more in the NHL, so it's not fair to compare the Celtics to the Bruins.

    2024 Celtic Playoff Prediction Poll

    Will any sports book take wagers on the over/under of Celtics playoff losses? Has that ever been a thing?

    2024 Celtic Playoff Prediction Poll

    I agree. I still don't think people really grasp how good the Celtics are. They're up there with peak Bulls and Warriors. If it weren't for recent playoff disappointment, we'd be a lot more confident, and a lot of historically dominant teams had to suffer through a frustrating playoff exit or...

    I'd say Mitchell.

    As long as putting away the whistle decreases both offensive and defensive fouls, outside shooting teams should benefit. It will get harder to score at the rim without getting mugged, but setting screens will get easier and therefore shooters will be more open. That is the reason the Celtics...

    2023-24 Celtics

    Most likely isn't the same thing as likely. It's still less than a 50% chance of it being Miami. Edit: ESPN says 26% Miami 26% Philly 15% ATL 15% Orlando 11% Chicago 7% Other

    Bronny declares for NBA draft

    If we're really concerned about the kid's possible basketball future, wouldn't he be getting better coaching at the NBA level, even if he gets nothing but garbage time minutes, than what he would get by staying in college?

    Bronny declares for NBA draft

    Note that Lebron is saying publicly that he's not a package deal with his son. I guess that's to make sure that no team he doesn't want to play for will draft Bronny.

    2023-24 Celtics

    They just jumped into 6th all time, with six games to go. They need +24 to catch the Bucks for 5th, and +63 to catch the '17 Warriors for 4th. Seems unlikely at this point that they'll be able to got to the magical +1000 point, as they will surely be resting guys over the next six games. But...

    Heck, if they end up paired against Indy in the first round, I could see them one and done against them as well. Indy is a terrible matchup for them.

    Choose Your Own Adventure: What is your reasonably realistic path to the Finals for the Celtics?

    I can see Minnesota beating Denver. Maybe the Clippers or Suns.

    Choose Your Own Adventure: What is your reasonably realistic path to the Finals for the Celtics?

    No one in the East should even take the Celtics to a game 6. Barring major injury, they should crush everyone. If they lose before the Finals, the season will be a total catastrophe.

    2023-24 Celtics

    The nice thing about the 76ers is that if Embiid is back, they'd probably be favored to win the first play-in game, which would make them the 7 seed. I suppose they could fall out of the 8 spot into the 9 spot, but then they have to win two games before even playing the Celtics in the first...

    How good are Fangraphs Predictions (2023 Edition)

    But I think that factor should be accounted for in the reason pre-season projections aren't accurate. Some teams will overachieve their "true talent level", if there even is such a thing. That overachievement will make it more likely they will add talent at the deadline, making them even bigger...
