 After winning their 17th NBA Championship back in 2008, the Celtics were continuing that success early on in the following year, beginning with a 27-2 mark. However, an injury to Kevin Garnett quickly derailed this team, and kept them from advancing further in the 2009 NBA Playoffs, losing to the Orlando Magic in the second round in seven games, dropping Games 6 and 7 to the Howard-led Magic. General Manager Danny Ainge expressed his disappointment, yet understood with the circumstances. Ainge promised that the Celtics want their 18th title, but more importantly, be an established team for years to come. Now, Ainge has to eat those words. |

Very interesting, curious as to where you got the roster from? I just googled Boston Celtics 2008-09 Roster, and went to their Wikipedia page. Of course, I went through the offseason last night and made some moves... I'm beginning with the 2009-10 season, doing the games. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008%E2%80%9309_Boston_Celtics_season#Roster |

December 2009 Games| Date | Game | Result | Record | | December 1 | at New Orleans | NO wins, 106-100 | 14-4 | | December 3 | at San Antonio | SAS wins, 123-99 | 14-5 | | December 4 | at Oklahoma City | OKC wins, 109-103 OT | 14-6 | | December 8 | Milwaukee | BOS wins, 97-72 | 15-6 | | December 10 | at Washington | BOS wins, 99-97 | 16-6 | | December 12 | at Chicago | BOS wins, 98-93 | 17-6 | | December 14 | at Memphis | MEM wins, 96-92 | 17-7 | | December 18 | Philadelphia | BOS wins, 102-96 | 18-7 | | December 20 | Minnesota | BOS wins, 93-85 | 19-7 | | December 22 | Indiana | BOS wins, 89-84 | 20-7 | | December 25 | at Orlando | BOS wins, 90-87 | 21-7 | | December 27 | at LA Clippers | BOS wins, 91-82 | 22-7 | | December 28 | at Golden State | BOS wins, 88-84 | 23-7 | | December 30 | at Phoenix | PHX wins, 94-88 | 23-8 |
NOTES: Kevin Garnett wasn't able to return until the Christmas Day game versus the Orlando Magic. The team was 6-4 without Garnett. Mikki Moore tore his rotator cuff in the December 12th game in Chicago. He'll miss the rest of the season after averaging 4.8 PPG and 6.2 RPG so far this season. Ray Allen was sick and missed the December 18th and 20th games, both home victories. The team, however, was impressed with Tony Allen's play. |

January 2010 Games| Date | Game | Result | Record | | January 2 | Toronto | BOS wins, 100-82 | 24-8 | | January 6 | at Miami | BOS wins, 112-107 OT | 25-8 | | January 8 | at Atlanta | BOS wins, 95-92 | 26-8 | | January 10 | at Toronto | TOR wins, 108-98 | 26-9 | | January 11 | Atlanta | BOS wins, 99-98 | 27-9 | | January 13 | at Brooklyn | BOS wins, 90-85 | 28-9 | | January 14 | Chicago | BOS wins, 86-81 | 29-9 | | January 18 | Dallas | DAL wins, 97-92 | 29-10 | | January 20 | at Detroit | BOS wins, 92-90 | 30-10 | | January 22 | Portland | BOS wins, 90-80 | 31-10 | | January 25 | LA Clippers | BOS wins, 94-86 | 32-10 | | January 28 | at Orlando | BOS wins, 102-85 | 33-10 | | January 29 | at Atlanta | ATL wins, 121-96 | 33-11 | | January 31 | LA Lakers | LAL wins, 101-92 | 33-12 |
NOTES: Ray Allen had unexpected knee problems arise and missed the final seven games of the month, team being 4-3 in those games. There's no timetable for Allen's return. Kendrick Perkins missed the January 10th and 11th games with a thumb injury. Instead of starting Eddy Curry, they moved Garnett to the 5 and started Glen Davis instead. Mike Miller was getting turns at small forward until Ray began missing games. Reason being was the team feels there should always be an Allen on the floor, Ray or Tony. |
