00:00You look at the Celtics and who they've played, who they've fattened up against,

00:03and I'll give them credit for the totality of what they've done over this stretch.

00:07Like, I can't take much away from any of these games individually. It's hard to do that.

00:11But the totality of it and how hot they are, you have to give them credit.

00:14I didn't even think they'd get to 60 wins. They're gonna cruise past 60 wins.

00:18They'll still fall short of their win total a year ago.

00:21They still lost 12 games at home for as good as they've been on the road.

00:24I think you were telling me off the air, they have two road games left,

00:27which means they could match the most road victories in a season by the Golden State Warriors in 15-16,

00:32a year they did not win the NBA championship.

00:35Is there anything they're gunning for down the stretch, like team accolades-wise?

00:40And the reason I ask is because Missoula seemed pretty fired up the other day when they went 6-0 on the trip,

00:45and he was pointing out that this has never been done in Celtics franchise history.

00:49Is there anything like that they're aiming for in these final seven games?

00:52I bet they want to tie that road record. I would think so.

00:55Because I think even watching Celtics City, you kind of get a glimpse of this.

00:59They understand the history, the rich history of this franchise,

01:02and for them to set a franchise record for most wins in Celtics history,

01:07I think that's something they want to do. That's something they are gunning for.

01:10I think more importantly, it's just staying healthy and going into the playoffs hot.

01:14That was a point that they had going into the All-Star break,

01:16that they want to be playing some of their best basketball going into the All-Star break

01:19so they can pick up where they left off, and they have done that.

01:23I think going into the playoffs, they want to stay hot.

01:25They just want to go in on the right foot,

01:27but I also think they're going to be looking at those games against New York and Miami on the road next week

01:31and be like, well, we have a chance to make history. We want to do it.
