Nothing to worry about. I'm sure by the playoffs when we face tougher defenses, this team and coach will totally not rely on the 3 ball to carry them. I for one am glad they let that old habit die.

I think had Joe after the game touched on their shot selection being bad rather than show he's spending time going through the Globe archives, we might not be reacting as bad.

Last season his offensive, or lack thereof, philosophy was terrible. He's still got to prove he's not going to be running a team that lives and die by the three. It's not been just sever games. We have a whole season to look at in addition to these.

unrealistic expectations make a 2 game skid worse. I mean we had a thread comparing this team favorably to the Durant Warriors.  When you think this team is one of the greatest teams ever, this is the type of reaction you might see when the team loses.

The Durant Warriors started 5-2 also.

And frankly, it bugs me that the pessimists get such a bad rap but the optimists seem to get off scot-free. Why isn't all the talk about "73 wins" and "better than the Warriors" getting shot down?

Over the last 7 years the Celtics have won close to 2/3 of their games and have have the second-best record in the NBA, and the pessmisists still freak out after virtually every single regular season loss.  It’s exhausting.

Pessimists didn't think we could win the title with the flaws we had/have. Were they right?

1 Finals appearance and no title.

Team overachieved it's talent and yet it is thought of as a failure by many.
