The Boston Celtics are...
...exceptionally talented
...frustratingly inconsistent
...a nightmare to defend
...seemingly intent on beating themselves
...switchable and adaptable to any situation
...unable to get out of their own way
...amazingly clutch when their backs are against the wall
...mind numbingly unable to maintain focus at any other time.
At some point you are what you are and we’ve seen this story often enough to know that it isn’t going to change any time soon. If the formula holds true, the Celtics will roar back into this series, stumble again, be forced to the brink, and finally prevail in the end.
