Celtics’ Slump
Is the fairy tale coming to an end in Boston? The team has lost 3 times in the last five days, and lost back to back games to the Washington Wizards. Currently sporting a 30-6 record, Boston still holds a confortable 10.5 game lead over the Toronto Raptors, but are there chinks in the green armor, or is there real reason to worry? In the second game, the Celtics shot the ball reasonably well for the most part, but the guard play was not up to par. The Celtics actually shot 42% from the field, better than Washington, but costly misses at the end of the game, combined with made baskets and free throws from Washington, put the game away.
The play of Boston’s point guards was a problem, as well. Eddie House and Rajon Rondo, only managed to combine for 9 points. House was 1-6 from behind the arc. Ray Allen scored 16 points, but only managed 5-14 shooting. The good news for the Celtics? After a tough game against surprising Portland, the team has back to back contests against the 76ers and Knicks.
