November Celtics' month?

Posted by Frank Dell'Apa, Globe Staff November 4, 2008 03:34 PM

Though the Celtics will have 77 games remaining after meeting the Rockets tonight, they consider early-season contests crucial to their NBA title hopes.

"If we didn't do what we did in November last year, Game 7 (of the Eastern Conference semifinals) would have been in Cleveland and we would have been playing the Lakers in LA," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said at today's shootaround at the Toyota Center.

The Celtics, 2-1, play 16 games this month. They visit Oklahoma City Wednesday and play host to Milwaukee Friday. Next week, the Celtics will play five games -- at Detroit Sunday; home games against Toronto Monday, Atlanta Wednesday, Nov. 12, and Denver Friday, Nov. 15; then a visit to Milwaukee Nov. 15.
