On March 25, Beijing time, who is currently the hottest team in the NBA? The Celtics, who have won 23 and lost 4 in the last 27 games, have borne the brunt of the attack, especially according to the probability of winning the championship predicted by the US media FiveThirtyEight, the Green Army is at the top with 30% of the 60 victories over the Suns. Former Celtics champion center Perkins boasted on the show that he was bullish on the Greens to win the title this season and was willing to bet $1 million.
You know, after the change of manager this season, the Celtics only had 23 wins and 24 losses in the first 47 games of the season, and they only ranked tenth in the East, which undoubtedly encountered questions from the outside world. It's just that since Jan. 22, the Celtics have embarked on a crazy counterattack journey, and they have won 23-4 in the past 27 games, ranking first in the league in the same period.
The Celtics' current record of 46 wins and 28 losses, ranking 4th in the East, is shockingly fast, and their defensive efficiency has improved to the first place in the league. In the last 27 consecutive games, the Celtics have won 25+ in eight of their consecutive games, becoming the second team in history to do so, the previous being the Spurs in 2015-16.
It is precisely for this reason that Perkins, as the Celtics' main starting center for the 2008 championship, transformed into a commentator and is optimistic about his old club winning the championship, "I believe that the Celtics can win the championship, I am willing to spend a hundred dollars to bet that they can win this season." 」 If you've seen this team play, they have the best starting five in the league. ”
According to the latest US media FiveThirtyEight's predicted probability of winning the championship, the Celtics led the way with a 30% probability of winning the championship, leading 60 wins to lock in the league's first Sun 19%, while in third place is the defending champion Bucks 16%. As for whether the Celtics can win the 18th crown in team history this year after winning the 17th crown in team history in 2008, it is expected that they will also win the 18th crown before the Lakers.
