It might be a very long time.
But will they break the all-time regular-season record of 33? That depends on your level of optimism.
This team has provided you plenty of reasons for that, though. Despite injuries to Kendrick Perkins, Rajon Rondo, Jermaine O’Neal, Shaquille O’Neal and Delonte West, the Celtics keep on trucking, winning their 14th straight game on Wednesday.
With the stars out, you’ve seen Semih Erden log big minutes. You’ve seen Von Wafer knock down a big shot from time to time. You’ve seen Nate Robinson rise to the occasion and contribute as a starter. You’ve seen just about everything — except a Celtics loss.
The last one came Nov. 21 in Toronto, when a would-be game-winner from Paul Pierce rimmed out, and the Raptors won by a point. It hasn’t been a run of Celtics blowouts since that day, but thanks to the Big Three (plus Robinson and Glen Davis, in particular), the team has found a way to win.
But how long will the magic last? And will the Magic actually be the ones to end it on Saturday?
