Just wondering a little something about the Celtics…. Where’s the D???
Remember when everyone was jacking off over how great our team defense was? Wasn’t that a grand time? Now the Celtics are the team that played two straight Western Conference 9 seeds… and gave up 124 and 119 points on consecutive nights. Those immediately went to numbers 1 and 2 on the ’most points given up this season’ list.
The Celtics are now second in the league in points allowed with just under 91… and we might well get back to that… but not playing this way we won’t. I had nightmares of Monta Ellis skipping his way to the hoop with almost no one in his way.
Am I concerned? A little. Its not quite panic… but I’m a lot more interested in how we’ll respond to Phoenix.
Meanwhile… in honor of KG’s return… Scott over at BostonSportz has posted a video of KG’s little pre-game powder routine.
