This team definitely has issues. but one of the current ones is team shooting.. I am hoping that at least that can return.. One game can help turn that around. (not saying live or die by it or settle for only 3s) ... But at least make the open ones more..

I also have no idea what to expect anymore.. For good or bad. I know and have seen too much of what Heights the team can reach when clicking all while seeing the lows reach lottery level.

what's the line for this going to be?

We are obviously capable of playing high level winning basketball. It's a good team that's playing poorly.

At the start of the season there was so much pep in their step and joy to their game. Now the grind of the season has set in and their confidence has been shaken. I think Tatum touched on it in the postgame. They just need to shake it off and get out there and have fun again and the talent will carry them vs most teams. No one is standing in the way of them playing well but them.

Go C's.

Surely Boston cannot lose four home games in a row to another average/below team can they?

We've been total garbage all month and that's why we're gonna win this one by 40

Self doubt is contagious lol. Now we are all having doubts about this team haha. Can they even win against any team?

I hope so. That could really help my fantasy teams haha. Seriously, if he does that, then Stevens would really need to address our lack of legit bigs. That would be too obvious.

Rare opportunity of getting four consecutive home losses (no road games in between) that not even the tanking teams of 2007 and 2014 accomplished. (The tanking team of 1997 did it!)

Let's go Celtics!!

Read on Twitter

Greg Monroe is now playing in China. So this should be a win.

If the Celtics lose to Minnesota, it will be a return to the bad old days, pre-Brown and Tatum,
Marcus Smart's rookie season, when they last lost 6-out-of-7...
