Maybe it’s just the way the cards are being shuffled and dealt. Each game is its own entity, and right now the schedule is just catching the Celtics like a two-by-four on the not-so-funny bone.
Whatever the case, the C’s home-road success discrepancy is beginning to get on their nerves — ulnar and otherwise.
Last night the Celts took a 13-point lead and pulled the covers over their head, suffering a 99-94 loss to the Pistons.
Mind you, losing to a team as talented as Detroit is not necessarily cause for dishonor, but it begins to get a bit uneasy when it’s the third straight loss at home and sixth in the last eight trips to the parquet.
