While the Boston Celtics were in the midst of a very successful season prior to the league’s suspension back on March 11th, the team was starting to see some woes as the year was coming upon it’s final stretch-run.
By the time of the announcement for the NBA’s hiatus, the C’s had accumulated a record of 43-21, but were trending in a negative direction as they dropped four of their last six outings.
While there were certainly multiple reasons for their apparent regression, none seems to be as apparent as the absence of All-Star point guard Kemba Walker from Boston’s rotation.
