ESPN - Celtics On Brink of Turnaround Record

March 12, 2008 3:36 PM

TrueHoop reader Carlos emails:

Boston has a chance of breaking -- obliterating, in fact -- the record for biggest turnaround NBA season in history.

The top three turnarounds are:

San Antonio in Tim Duncan's rookie season (36 more wins than the year before)
San Antonio in David Robinson's rookie season (35 more wins than in the previous year)
Phoenix in year one of the Nash Era (33 more wins than in 03-04)

The Celtics won 24 games last year, they are at the 50 mark with 20 games left and winning four out of five games. At this pace they will win 66 games, 42 more than last year. Incredible.

There was once talk this year's Blazers might join this list somewhere lower down. But that has faded with the team's recent mediocre play.
