With a win tonight in Sacramento the Boston Celtics would improve to 23-3 and be on pace with the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls through 26 games.
That Bulls team featuring Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Toni Kukoc, and Ron Harper finished with an NBA record 72 wins. Chicago lost game 26 to fall to 23-3 that season.
Boston defeated the Sacramento Kings earlier this season at the TD Banknorth Garden. The Kings have faired much better at home this season with eight of their 11 wins coming at Arco Arena.
The Celtics are coming off of a 103-91 win against the Orlando Magic on Sunday. Sacramento fell at home, 106-105, to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. The Kings led that game by as much as 16 points.

I think it is a little early to compare this team to that Bulls team, or any Bulls team for that matter. The Eastern conference isn't that great, and it seems to me the Celtics haven't truly been tested, this road trip will prove a lot, but there is a ways to go.

The points about it being early and the schedule shining on the Celtics have previously been made here and in the paper.
As far as a "comparison" to the Bulls, the post was merely a statement of fact. The records were the same to that point. The numbers are the numbers...or in Belichickean speak = it is what it is.
