There’s no way to avoid it, the Boston Celtics are not good at the moment.
Boston continued to remain in its cruel groove on Wednesday with a 127-112 defeat against the Atlanta Hawks, which achieved the unbeaten three-game away run.
It was rough. Yes, the team is dealing with injuries and has been plagued by COVID-19, but the recent time has left fans puzzled and asked, ‘What the hell is going on?’
Celtics majority owner Wyc Grousbeck has admitted that he complained a bit in private about his team during an appearance on 98.5 The Felger & Mazz of The Sports Hub, and believes he knows what the problem is.
“It seems to me that it was unequal,” Grousbeck said. ‘I think we have things we can point to … but I think it was unequal. Some games, or some moments during games, seem incredible to us. And that’s a strong word, but there are good times when you can see a lot of potential in this team. But then there are periods that you lose the 24 point lead and lose the game. I feel a personal sense of wishing it was going better and thinking that it is not going the way I want. ‘
Inequality is definitely a good way to put it.
There is still time for the Celtics to get back on track, but they do not have all the time in the world. The sooner they figure it out, the better.
