Gonna cut them some slack. Dropping three in a row sucks but it was bound to happen.
The season is long. It’s hard to stay laser focused for 82 games.
Also it seems like the last 2 weeks we’ve had more guys banged up and missing games.
Not to mention the Celtics have every team gunning for them every time they step on the court. Means a little more when you’re playing the best.
Being the best means you don't drop 3 in a row to terrible/not good teams.
Last I checked 2 of those teams hold playoff spots.
Lost the series to orl, dropped this game, and choked the game they should've won in Miami.
The common theme here is they fall into iso and poor shot selection when they're up. These guys are experienced enough to know you can't coast like that, yet they still do it. Unfortunately they have a bro calling plays rather than a coach.
That play where brown watched the ball just roll out of bounds rather than hustle for it illustrates everything wrong with this team top to bottom.
