The Celtics are only 2-1 on the season, which included a disappointing loss to the Chicago Bulls, but you can blame the schedule makers on that. They gave the C’s a scheduled loss on the third day of the NBA season.

Boston had to open the season with a back-to-back. They dropped their second game of the season, to the Bulls, on the road. The fact that Dwyane Wade, Jimmy Butler and Rajon Rondo – all noted below average three-point shooters – transformed into Kyle Korver in their season opener didn’t help mattes either. Though, that’s kind of a game you throw out. The Celtics are going to win a lot of games this season.
