What’s the matter with the Celtics? – 1/10/2009

OK – those of us who love all teams New England have been spoiled this decade.  Sox, Pats and finally the Celtics have all won championships, and even the Bruins have been outstanding this year.  That being said, the Celtics’ recent slump has been difficult to watch.  After a remarkable start, losing seven of nine and watching Lebron James put on a clinic against us Friday night has raised the question:  Is the new Celtics dynasty over before it started? 

By gut answer is no.  The C’s have had a brutal schedule, rarely being home for more than two games at a stretch.  Having the indignity of playing the Yankees (I mean, Lakers) in LA on Christmas Day while being the defending champs didn’t help.  The All-Star break can’t come soon enough.  With a little rest for the new Big Three and some commitment to playing a full forty eight minutes, I think Green 18 is still a possibility.

In the meantime, go Bruins!
