Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big story line. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
1. C’s will have the best record in the East by the All-Star break
Considering how this season has played out, this seems hard to imagine I know. But the Celtics have been an underperforming bunch most of this season and yet they are only 4.5 games out of first in the East. It may seem like a lot of ground to make up, but remember this: Every team in the league has more than 20 games left to be played between now and the All-Star break (the Celtics have 25), so there’s plenty of opportunities to cut into the Raptors’ lead.
