After another maddening Celtics loss, Chris Forsberg wonders if action soon must be taken to snap Boston out of its month-long funk.
The Boston Celtics keep telling us everything will be OK. They might be right, but it’s getting harder to take them at their word.
Kristaps Porzingis is playing some of his best basketball in green, and yet the team’s numbers are alarmingly poor even as he finds a groove while further removed from offseason surgery. Boston's starting five was impossibly bad through its first 10 appearances togetherJrue Holiday hasn’t been nearly as crisp on both ends. Jaylen Brown’s offensive efficiency is way down in January.
Recognizing that the status quo wasn’t good enough in the aftermath, Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens made some bold offseason decisions that shook up the core of the team and delivered Porzingis and Holiday. Boston recognized that it could no longer sit on its hands and wait for a better outcome.We all know the core of this team is prohibitively expensive. Keeping this group together beyond this year will not be easy.
