Celtics end up with the 6th best record in the league, and the second best point differential, after the Bucks, tied with the Clips, at 6.4. Kyrie and AL were hardly missed in the regular season. This team really came together after the Kyrie-first fuckery last season.
The Cs had three 20 ppg scorers for only the 18th time in league history (credit Sean Grande) They had a player lead the lead in FT percentage, Brad Wanamaker, who now is in good company with Larry Bird, 4 times, Bill Sharman, 7 times, and Larry Siegfried, 2 times. Tacko Fall was 10th in points per minute, (min 6 games played Also from Sean Grande)
The Celtics had better team stat than their opponents in every major category except FTs, FT% and number of fouls. With little salary cap invested in bigs, they managed more total rebounds, defensive rebounds, and offensive rebounds. They even blocked a few more shots.
