The schedule says the C's aren't making it in I'm afraid. Going to take at least 4 more wins.
Toronto(1), Detroit, Cavs (1), Bucks? Going to be rough, though Bucks/Cavs/Raptors might be resting the next week or so.
I am trying to calculate too, but all I can think now is why the F did we lose tonight...
Milwaukee sucked after the trade, we needed the W way more badly than they did and we played at home...
Tonight might turn out be a very costly loss.
i think the answer to your question is that the celtics simply are not a good team....yet. some nights they execute well and play to the most of their ability. on those nights, when the other team is mediocre, poor, or p--- poor, the celtics can win.
on any other night, it takes luck to over come the talent on other teams.
Yup, talent-wise the Bucks are superior to us, and this is true for most teams even in the Eastern Conference... Just look at Miami's roster... Again we are punching above our weight thanks to good team chemistry, our players giving all they have and good coaching. We are a case of the sum being greater than the parts.
Btw, this is slightly irrelevant but whatever, looking at Bucks tonight and wondering why they sucked so badly after the trade, apart from the obvious (Knight>MCW), the absence of Sanders was noticeable.
Apparently he suffers from clinical depression, wish him the best.
