There is no getting around it, the Boston Celtics is no good now.
Boston continued their brutal routine on Wednesday, with a 127-112 loss to the Atlanta Hawks, ending a three-game trip without a win.
It has been difficult. Yes, the team is dealing with injuries and was shaken by COVID-19, but the recent stretch left fans scratching their heads and asking, ‘what the hell is going on?’
The majority owner of the Celtics, Wyc Grousbeck, admitted that he “complained a little in particular” about his team during an appearance at 98.5 The Sports Hub “Felger & Mazz”, and believes he knows what the problem is.
“It seems to me that it has been irregular,” said Grousbeck. “I think we have things that we can point out … but I think it has been irregular. Some games, or some moments during games, we look incredible. And that’s a strong word, but there are good periods when you can see a lot of potential in this team. But then, there are periods when you lose the lead by 24 points and lose the game. I have a personal feeling of wishing that I was better and thinking that it is not going the way I wish. “
Sure, uneven is a good way to put it.
There is still time for the Celtics to get back on track, but they don’t have all the time in the world. The sooner they find out, the better.
