Trouble in Beantown?


The Boston Celtics dropped another game again last night.


They have lost now seven of nine since starting out with a league best 27-2 record. At least they lost to, probably, the best team in the East. LeBron and the Cavaliers.


LeBron had 38 points and played stifling defense on Paul Pierce. As I look at this game, there was very little bench production. Daniel Gibson had 10 off the bench for Cleveland, Eddie House had 8 off the bench for the C's.


I was hearing the players of the Celtics talk about how they"need to get their defensive swagger back." I think that statement is false. They need to get their offensive swagger back. Since their Christmas Day loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Celtics haven't scored more than 90 points in any of their losses in regulation.


That has to change in order for Boston to regain its dominance. Until then, I'll be laughing about them losing so much.
