Celtics close the regular season with 6-game winning streak overall, 7 in a row on the road, & 8 straight on the 2nd night of back-to-backs

The Celtics just went 24-12 (.667) in their last 36 games. That's 44% of the season that they were basically an elite NBA team. @CelticsLife

Imagine if the Celtics had started the season 24-12? People would be freaking out. #CelticsTalk

Think about that for a second. If the NBA season had begun in early February, the Celtics might be viewed as one of the best teams in basketball:
One last time, the NBA's best records since February 2: Warriors 30-7 Spurs 25-9 Cavs 24-9 Rockets 23-11 Clippers 23-11 CELTICS 24-12

Topic No. 2, there's a very strong case for Isaiah Thomas to win the league's Sixth Man of the Year Award. As I wrote on CelticsLife this morning, he's got the best stats, but he was also traded mid-season and Boston actually did just as well without him (10-5) after the magical February 2 date mentioned above.
And finally, check out my Stat Central feature today on Hoops Habit: Final NBA Leaders And Other Historical Performances. Quick teaser: The top two rebounders in the league this season also both shot under 40 percent on free throws, the second and third worst percentages of all time.
