Heat: 29-10

Suns: 30-15

Nets: 29-15

Nets: 30-23

Too tired...

…to notice anything right now. I need my bed.

Okay, random but true that. Assuming the first number is always the C’s score: we win a lot of first quarters by quite a lot of points. And the opponents are going down in first quarter points pretty much every 2 games. Does this mean in about 10 games we’ll see a 30-0?

Six game win streak already? That one snuck up quietly.

Yer

It doesn’t feel like a win streak. More like a “we got by”-streak. Or a mediocre “we’ll manage”-streak. Or a “so-so”-streak. Or a… never mind :P

I like this pattern. Celtics pull away early so they can have some breathing space to hold on to the lead when the other team makes a run or the turnovers start to pile.
