It's difficult to dominate four quarters of basketball. Yet many
Celtics fans remember the start of the 2007-08 as a period when the
Celtics did just that game after game on their way to an 11-2 start.
But as you'll see below, that just wasn't the case. Even though the
Celtics blew out both Washington and Denver to start the season, they
didn't dominate the opponent in the second half of either game. The
Celtics beat Toronto in overtime of game 2, but the only reason the
game went into OT was because the Raptors badly outscored the Celtics
in the fourth quarter.

It's followed by evidence that reminds us that the C's had their struggles a couple of years ago too.
It's a long season, folks.
