20-62

[Steve Ouellette]

But the Celtics record is artificially awful due to the injuries, 
especially the one to Pierce. A healthy Al playing with a healthy Pierce 
and a healthy Tony Allen and Delonte West and Perk is a heck of a lot 
better team that what we're fielding now.

The Spurs were without David Robinson that year, thus the 20 win season. 
If you add Oden or Durant to a healthy Celtics team, yes, that's worth 
25 wins. Maybe more.
