CelticsBlog: Boston, We Have A Problem

CelticsBlog is absolutely terrified of what they’re seeing out of their Boston Celtics lately, especially Wednesday night’s 20-point loss to Memphis.

…To call this a game would be a disservice to every member of the Grizzlies. This was an onslaught from the get-go. The Celtics never lead in this game once. With 5:52 left in the first quarter, the Celtics trailed 11-7. That would be the closest they got the rest of the game, as the Grizzlies then went on 16-5 run and lead by 15 at the end of the first quarter. The Celtics never got closer than 14 points behind and trailed by as many as 29 points late in the fourth quarter.

“I think it speaks for itself,” said Kevin Garnett who finished with a dismal six points and seven rebounds. “They came in and just totally annihilated us, nothing to it.”

Perhaps that is the scariest part about it. There really was nothing to it. The Grizzlies came in disrobed the Celtics on their home court. Fitting actually, because with the way the team has been performing lately no player deserves to wear that jersey.
