Sportbetting is going to be very popular on the Boston Celtics this NBA season. If what Boston forward Rasheed Wallace has to say comes true, then sports betting online gamblers are really going to flock to Boston this season.
Sportbetting had Wallace saying that the Celtics can break the record for NBA wins this season. He told a local paper that the Celtics can break the 72 win record set by the Chicago Bulls in 1995-96. “We have the talent for it,” he said. “We have the will for it and … I think we have the defense for it.” Wallace didn’t back down from his prediction either as some players might. Winning more than 70 games is a huge feat in the NBA though and even though the Celtics are loaded, it won’t be easy.
Only one team in NBA history has won 70 games and that was the 1995-96 Bulls who won 72. The next season the Bulls won 69 games. The 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers won 69 games as well. The most games that a Boston team has ever won were 68 in 1972-73. The Celtics were not the sportbetting winner that season as they did not win the title. Last sportbetting season the Celtics won 62 games even though they were without forward Kevin Garnett for 25 games. This season the Celtics have added Wallace and Marquis Daniels but they did lose Leon Powe.
What do the sports betting online oddsmakers think about Boston’s chances this season? The win total on the Celtics is set below 60 games this season. In fact, the sportbetting win total on Boston is not even the highest in the Eastern Conference as Cleveland has a win total of 61.5 while Orlando is 57.5. The Celtics win total is 57. What team has the highest win total set by sports betting online oddsmakers? It is, of course the Los Angeles Lakers whose total is set at 62.
Winning 70 games in the NBA is simply tough to do. It is even tougher now than in the past in sportbetting because there are so many good teams. The Eastern Conference has the three power teams while other teams like Atlanta and Miami are not pushovers either in sportbetting. The Western Conference is loaded with a number of teams that can impact sports betting online results.
