Boston Celtics

PREDICTED FINISH: 6th   49-33
ACTUAL FINISH       : 4th   53-29

What I got right: I was skeptical of Al Horford’s contribution to the Boston Celtics. And had he remained on the bench, I would have been nearly perfect in this team’s assessment. The team had little impact from the 2016 NBA Drafted rookies.  It’s not unusual, because this team is chasing a title.

What I got wrong: I failed to give Al Horford credit where credit is due. When he is on the court, he makes a difference for the Celtics. His production did end below his career averages. That’s a place to focus going forward.
