Sometimes you’re going to lose games, even when you’re the Boston Celtics. There are going to be nights where there’s absolutely nothing that you can do to stop a hot shooter or a team that just has it going.
Tuesday...well, Tuesday was not one of those nights.
Boston’s NBA Cup loss to the Atlanta Hawks was flat-out gross — disgusting even. Over the course of 48 minutes, the Celtics shot themselves in the foot (feet?) over and over again. They handed the Hawks all of the extra chances possible by turning the ball over and allowing a plethora of offensive rebounds.
