We call these post-game reviews “5 rational thoughts,” but it seems like every time the Celtics play, they make it more difficult to remain rational. Last night’s mess in Cleveland was the latest example.
Where’s the effort?
One night after playing hard against Utah but losing, it was reasonable to expect the Celtics would take out their frustrations on the lowly Cavs, who were 14-25 after also losing on Tuesday night. After all, it was St. Patrick’s Day, when everyone is Irish, or wants to be. Surely that would favor the team in green.
