Before embarking on this crucial road trip out west, the Boston Celtics had lost 6 of 7 coming back from the All Star break. Everyone from fans to talking heads were wondering if this was the breaking point for them. Adam Silver had just been interviewed by The Ringer’s Bill Simmons and had said currently, there are a lot of unhappy players in the NBA. People could argue that 15 of them were inside the Celtics’ locker room.
This west coast trip they’re currently on could realistically swing this season in one way or the other.
