I’m having fun. Are you having fun?
It’s not every year that you get to watch a team put up the 2nd best net rating of any team in NBA history through 12 games, but luckily for us, the Celtics have done just that. Sitting pretty at a 12.7 net rating, the only team ahead of Boston is the ‘95-’96 Bulls at 13.4. That seems pretty good! Accompany that with a 10-2 record and 2 separate 5-game winning streaks, you couldn’t really ask for a better start to the season.
One of the major reasons why the Celtics have been so dominant to start the year has undoubtedly been their late game execution.
