Celtics end the season on a 6-1 sim and a pretty high note at that.
At 52-30 by far the best season this team ever had and 4th best record league-wide too. Especially the 25-16 road record makes me proud of this team.
Overall, the Celtics are top 3 in the league in scoring (104ppg), fg% (.459), opp fg% (.425) and LEAD the league in TOs (just below 12) as well as STL/TO differential BOTH on offense AND on defense !!!
Yes, it's been a marvelous campaign so far for us.
In this sim, Gasol wen't down in the first game but thanks to some roster moves Duncan was able to step right in at C and provided 11/12/3 and solid defense. Kidd took over for Billups and didn't exactly earn some accolades there (8ppg, 4apg, low TO, good%) but his counterparts didn't go off either (4 TOs).
Antonio Lenard finished the season with a 30ppg sim, kept his FG% above .500 for the year and earned a spot on the All League 2nd Team (the lone Celtic honored). Congratulations, Tony !
Next up: The Cavs, thanks to some free-fall during the latter part of the season which allowed the Raptors to sneak by. Gasol will be back for me, so i'm close to full strength again. This is going to be an interesting matchup i'm looking forward to ...
