Celtics have gone 28-9 in 2022 after being a .500 team....

[Listen]

Since Jan 1….

Their Defensive Rating is 104!!!! (PHX is second…..at 107.9)

Their Net Rating up until 12/31 was 0.8....their Net Rating since is 12.2 (PHX is second…at 10.2)

Their +/- up until 12/31 was 1.0.....their +/- since is + 11.6 (PHX is second.....at 10.0)

I’m not sure exactly what to make of that, but that shyt feels crazy AF. What other modern team has made such a start turnaround in season????

Peaking at the right time.

The Hawks had a pretty crazy in-season turnaround last year

I think in one of those post-LeBron/pre-Butler years the Heat were like the worst team in the league at the all-star break and then finished with a winning record

Championship darkhorse.

 

[Brozay]

Championship darkhorse.

they been the best team in the league for like nearly 3 months now (along with PHX), I wouldnt even call them a darkhorse anymore

2004 Pistons went on a crazy run after the Sheed trade

Yeah, Hawks went like 28-11 after the All Star Break last year, but their net rating during that run was 4.2 and their Defensive rating was like 111 lol. These Celtics numbers are bananas.

First round exit.

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

I love when teams streak and gel before the playoffs

Makes things more interesting

Derrick White saved their season

Too bad he left whatever shooting ability he had in San Antonio

 

[The God Poster]

As a proud Boston fan since birth it’s been amazing to see our guys grow. Future is bright

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

With all the Celtics threads that have been made almost every other day, y’all better hope this has a happy ending, or else there’s gonna be a whole lotta upped threads with servings of crow on the side.

2015 Cavs started the season 19-20 and went 34-9 to finish the year. And they were demolishing teams with new found defense the same way these Celts are...but even the Cavs had a lower defensive rating (106) than these Celts..
