Just in time for St. Patrick's day, Boston will parade the Celtic green on the road for one of their toughest trips of the year. Beginning tonight, the Celts will play 5 games in 7 days against some of the best teams in the Western Conference and the NBA. After opening in Milwaukee, the Celtics square-off against the defending champ San Antonio Spurs, a Houston Rockets team that has won 21 games in a row, the Dallas Mavericks with newly aquired Jason Kidd, and the upstart New Orleans Hornets with All-NBA point guard Chris Paul. Their last 4 opponents are all considered title contenders and have a combined record of 176-84.
The Celtics lost their last game to the Utah Jazz (another strong Western Conference team) at home 110-92 and in the process may have lost Ray Allen for a couple of games due to an ankle injury, so with only 18 games left in the season, this trip should be a true test for the team and good way to prepare for the upcoming play-offs.
Road Trip:
- @ Milwaukee Bucks (3/15)
- @ San Antonio Spurs (3/17)
- @ Houston Rockets (3/18)
- @ Dallas Mavericks (3/20)
- @ New Orleans Hornets (3/22)
