You know the Boston Celtics are in a bad position when their most loyal fan is throwing their hands in the air, disgusted by the way the team now below 0.500 continues to play.
That’s exactly what Mike Gorman, the longtime announcer for the Celtics, did on Wednesday during an appearance on the 98.5 The Sports Hub radio program “Toucher & Rich”.
And you’ll quickly learn where he puts the biggest slices of the guilt pie.
“Let me start, I couldn’t be happier for Jayson (Tatum) and Jaylen (Brown). I hope they are named Co-MVPs for the game. The All-Star Game is a perfect showcase for these two guys, because they have an abundance of individual skills and that’s what the All-Star Game is about – individuals going 1 on 1 – and we know about 1 against 1 1 ”, Gorman said of the station.
“Unfortunately, the last time I looked, basketball is a team game, it’s not tennis, it’s a team game. And we’re just kidding as we met on the bus on the way. It is very sad to see these guys now. “
Gorman – again, who would apparently be shot by the organization – did not stop there either.
“Now I’m saying that Tatum and Brown are responsible for the current Celtics record? Yes I am. I really believe that to be the case. Because when you are the best player on a team, you also get the glory and also the gas, ”said Gorman. “You also have to set an example.
“… This team needs to be more altruistic and needs to start at the top, and at the top now are Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, and they need to respond. They can spend the weekend in Atlanta, they can go to play (the All-Star game). But when they get back to business here in Boston, they have to start thinking about winning games and not getting numbers. “
Gorman also appears to be at Team Brad, noting that the Celtics “would be crazy” to get rid of the head coach, despite the fact that the team has 15-16 and lost 13 of the last 20 games.
Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck said the same during a later interview on the same radio station.
