Well, technically they're tied with the Bulls in terms of road games, having played 13.
So in perspective, the Celtics have played 13 of their first 22 games on the road, are 8-5 in those games, and are still on pace for the same win total as last year (48) even after having Horford, Crowder, Smart, and Olynyk sit out multiple games.
In other words... this team has performed very well given the schedule and the circumstances.
I made this point a couple of weeks ago. Something like 60% of the Cs games from mid-December on are at home. They have a six game home stand and two 4 game home stands during that time.
It's an interesting schedule.
The schedule is very favorable in January, with 14 out of 18 games at home from December 30th through February 5th. Beyond two games with Toronto (1 home, 1 away) and a home game against the Clips, the schedule looks to be fairly easy. They'll be favored in most of those games, if not all but one (@ Toronto).
Then they have one brutal stretch on the road from Feb 8th - March 10th where 12 out of 15 games (including @ Toronto, GSW, LAC, Portland, Utah, Chicago, etc.) are on the road. They'll probably be lucky to go .500 during that span.
Beyond that they're generally going to be at home after that stretch. The last 16 games of the season look very juicy (perhaps the only game they won't be favored in is the home game against Cleveland) with 11 of those at home.
So expect this board to be all sunshine and daisies in January, doom-and-gloom in February and a shiny happy place in March.
