Yeah. Um. That game sucked. Payton Pritchard’s face in that header image up there just about encapsulates how I feel.
1. Everyone is depressed
The Celtics just do not have much fight left in them, and tonight it seemed like a lot of the problems stemmed from a morose lack of engagement.
I don’t entirely blame them. The health issues that’ve persisted all year haven’t gone away. The loss of Jaylen Brown was the icing on a s**t-cake that had been baking for weeks and arguably months…but it’s the Cavaliers, man. The team’s defense has been subpar even at relatively full strength, and without JB, Smart and Rob, it’s piss-poor.
