- NBA schedule release, 2015-16: Boston Celtics get 7 national TV games
Boston has numerous matchups that fall on or around holidays this season, starting with a Veteran’s Day home game against Indiana on Nov. 11. Boston will only have one homestand that exceeds three games this season. That stretch will span five games from Feb. 25 to March 4, starting with Milwaukee, and concluding versus New York. The Phoenix Suns took full advantage of the way the schedule fell with a get-right game on Sunday against the reeling San Antonio Spurs.
The Lakers six-game East Coast trip ended as a break-even, .500 venture and was a microcosm of their up-and-down season. There were injuries, illnesses, promising victories and disappointing defeats . LeBron James has a career scoring average of 28.8 against the Celtics.
Phoenix Suns’ woes continue with 5th straight loss vs. Rockets
Now, we’ve dug a little deeper and crunched some numbers to give you a more detailed look at the upcoming slate of games. A total of 22 3-pointers for the Suns was not enough to get them a much-needed win on Friday against the Pelicans. The Suns’ juice, a staple of the program and a Monty Williams-led side, was gone.
That night Isaiah Thomas scored 30 points. Their biggest loss came on the road against the LA Clippers (114-90), led by Austin Rivers . Their largest win came on the road against the Denver Nuggets ( ) on February 21, 2016.

The Celtics will also make preseason stops in Milan and Madrid during early October, though of course, that trip is not factored into the regular season mileage. With 76 days until the Celtics tip off their season against the Philadelphia 76ers on Oct. 28, the countdown has officially begun. Enjoy some numerical analysis of the schedule as you mark down the dates.
The C’s will make history that day, as it will mark the organization’s first-ever regular season international game . The Lakers return home after a six-game road trip and have played just two of their previous 11 games at home. Over the last two seasons, LA is (.509) at home and (.309) on the road. Against the Clippers, the Celtics played without Al Horford for the fourth consecutive game. It is the worst basketball I’ve seen Booker and the majority of his teammates play since Game 7 of the Dallas series. The players’ spirits, like that same night, represented those of a ghost.
October 2015 - Regular Season Schedule - Games at TD Garden
The first full month of the season, from Oct. 28 to Nov. 27, will be an arduous early test for the young Celtics; 11 of their first 16 opponents made the playoffs last season. During that stretch they will also play Indiana twice and once in Oklahoma City, both of which teams will be boosted with the returns of Paul George and Kevin Durant . Booker joked it’s “two flushes” for these two games, a play on how teams typically “flush” poor performances like that to not give it much mind.

After a few looks didn’t go down in the first quarter that normally do, Phoenix let it get to them. It started forcing things, particularly Booker, who, again, rarely does that. The Suns’ transition defense saw all five defenders get back, but no one picked up Williams in the corner.

The last 48 hours, Games 8 and 9 we’ll call ’em, were not reassuring after an encouraging first 23 games of the season through a few key injuries. It is spooky how much Wednesday felt like a regular season version of Game 7, and it came right after the Mavericks handed it to ’em on Monday in Dallas. The good news intertwined inside is that Paul is back after he missed 14 games due to right heel soreness. He was moving fine and looked like himself physically. The way this game crashed and burned for the Suns, though, obviously did not grant him the best opportunity to find his footing.
