Bored playing so well
Celtics shed bulletproof vest
Wins mark out of reach
(A Haggy Haiku)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boston started 27-2. Since rattling off 19-straight wins, the Celtics have gone 2-5. Included, are losses to Charlotte (13-22 ), New York (13-20) and Golden State (10-26).
No need to worry here, Boston is merely in a midseason slump. The entire team is a bit off the mark. Despite having three future Hall of Famers, the Celtics go as Rajon Rondo goes. He had a nine turnover game Tuesday and is averaging 4.8 drops in those five losses.
Boston is still the team to beat in the East; Cleveland and Orlando seemed to have closed the gap.
It certainly makes you respect what the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls were able to do, losing back-to-back games once during the regular season en route to a 72-10 record.
