Is it fair to be a little concerned about the Celtics?
Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla reacts in the first half in a game against the Cavaliers on Monday.These are a few of the many sobering facts:
The Celtics have lost three straight games to fellow Eastern Conference playoff teams.
They blew a 14-plus-point lead in all three of those games.
They’re now two and a half games behind the Bucks and only a game and a half up on the 76ers.
They’ve given up 118.7 points per game in their last seven.
They’re 11-10 against Eastern Conference teams with winning records, including 0-7 in overtime.
Sorry, I know. Not fun. Reading that probably felt like a chore. Don’t worry, we’re getting to the good stuff (well, the less bad stuff, at least).
