Celtics a Real Threat Against Lakers, Cavs, Magic, and Hawks? – Daily Poll

The Celtics took a swift kick to the groin yesterday, after blowing yet another, YET ANOTHER big lead against an opponent we may be meeting in the playoffs. For me, it is beginning to be a little too much. How does a team look so good for the majority of the game, yet have a stretch of 10-15 minutes EVERY GAME where they probably couldn’t beat your local area youth basketball squad. It is becoming one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen in sports. The team has to figure something out soon. Do they need homecourt in the playoffs? Maybe not, in fact maybe they need to be on the road. This comfort level crap by being at home is ridiculous. Teams are not going to roll over and play dead in the Garden simply because they are down 10. This is not 2007-2008, the Celtics are, and have proven to be, very beatable at home. After being 2-8 against the teams in the title to this post:
