boston should win games like this and like milwaukee...heck...they screwed around with the griz even...this team is mentally spent right now....i know they are injured..i know they are outmanned but they had a double digit lead late in the third and couldn't hold it...this has been a problem ALL SEASON!!!!!!! even with everyone around.
No!!
Wrong!!
Absolutely not true!!
This team isn't the Boston Celtics that we have been watching for the better part of the last two years. This is a team that is just a shadow of itself, depleted by injury and a lack of quality veteran help off the bench that should have been here since last off season. Instead it is a team that is now missing every player over 6'7" except Perk that started the year on this team. The only other guy over 6'7" is Mikki Moore, a late season add on that to be fair isn't all that great a player.
This isn't high school or college. It's the pros and when players get used to playing with certain players for a certain amount of minutes and suddenly a third of the team is gone to injury and another 3-4 players are beat up but playing and everyone is playing with players they aren't used to playing with and for minutes they aren't accustomed to, that changes the entire team dynamic. THISD IS NOT THE SAME TEAM THAT WAS PLAYING IN JANUARY!!!! Additions and injuries have transformed it into a very mediocre team that is going to have major trouble winning on the road and against big teams.
Until they get everyone back healthy, this is not the Boston Celtics that started the season. It's a different team and different results should be expected.
