-I think the Anthony Davis drama this year has affected the Celtics as much as the Lakers. If you're a player and feel like you're going to be on the trade block, it hurts your morale.
-Execution is awful. The team missed a bunch of open shots. How do you call yourself a professional basketball team and miss shots like that? Which means they're probably not practicing enough, which means laziness.
-They're not fundamentally sound. Look at how discombobulated the offense is. Players having to leap to catch passes.
-Defense is the sh**s. Another sign of laziness. Defense is all about hustle and effort.
-Also, not for nothing, but we were up 32-30 at the end of the 1st quarter with the starters putting in a solid effort. From the 2nd quarter on, we got our assess handed to us on a silver platter starting when the bench came in.
-Finally, this team got overconfident. We've had players say "I think we're going to win 5-6 championships" to "we're going to win the finals" to "we can beat anyone in a 7 game series because I am here." They're not nearly as good as they think and thus are paying the price. Lack of discipline.
