Yes, the Celtics are frustrating, but it’s too soon to give up on them

COMMENTARY

Getting mighty lonely over here The Celtics Will Be Fine island.

As far as I can tell, it’s just optimistic me, a couple of other accused “Green Teamers,” and a well-worn official NBA basketball we’ve named Spalding, who sometimes talks hoops with us and might be an upgrade on Brian Scalabrine on NBC Sports Boston’s broadcasts.

Yep, the population is dwindling here on the ol’ isle, and with good reason: This team is actively encouraging abandonment with its recent performance. It’s like they’re trying to convince sports fans who favor basketball as a winter sport to turn their attention to the exciting and fun Bruins right now.
