The Celtics started the season 4-0 (with their first two games entering overtime, as well having another overtime game during their sixth game of the season), but Wicks and Rowe had trouble fitting in with Celtic coach
Tom Heinsohn's system, and the team played .500 ball for most of the season.
Charlie Scott suffered a broken foot and only played 31 games, which meant Havlicek had to log more minutes, primarily at off-guard. Depth was a problem for the Celtics, as backup center
Jim Ard was the only reliable reserve. Havlicek, White, and Cowens carried most of the scoring load for the team all season.
