Three Leaf Clover: it’s starting to feel a little bit like ‘08

The Celtics have evolved beyond the need for Phil Jackson’s 40-20 rule, where a true contender should have 40 wins before 20 losses. 55 wins before 15 losses is the new, frankly absurd, standard and puts this team on pace to be one of the winningest in the most winningest franchise in the NBA. I’d also add that winningest is a silly word. This is a special regular season; one we haven’t seen for about 15 years or so. On this episode, we will do a quick comparison between this year’s regular season and the 2007-08 team, talk about the bench’s growing chemistry, and end with the grueling experience of blowing leads.
