How can the same team that looked the way they did in the loss in WAS, then 2 days later look like they did in the win in MIL? This Celtics teams is unique in that regard. I know all teams in all eras have ups and downs but this is the most manic team that I remember.
Those that follow my posts closely [
] know that I have been pretty steady in believing this is a good team. You have to look past a lot of the game to game noise or variation and consider this team as a whole or in aggregate. And compare that to all the other teams (all of which have some problems too).
I still worry about teams with size. Porzingis killed us. CLE has been tough. But of course MIL has plenty of size and we aren't having any problem with them. We are good enough to beat anyone, teams with size or any other team, but the team still has to do it. Show the mental toughness to stop with the lazy games, the bad losses.
It is too late for any more wake up calls. Either they have woken up or they haven't. It is go time.
