The Boston Celtics took their last two games before they went on the road to face the Atlanta Hawks to heart, smashing both the Washington Wizards and Sacramento Kings to pieces at TD Garden in convincing fashion in what was up that point their most complete games of the season.
In what should have been an ideal opportunity to show the lessons they had learned about how to play the game consistently regardless of the opponent in front of them or the arena dome over their heads, the Celtics instead fell on their faces and fell back into old habits to hand the game on a platter to the Hawks.
What is going on with this team? Is it cursed to hover at .500 on the dreaded treadmill of mediocrity forever? Is there something internal that can be done to improve things? Or do there need to be minor, medium or even major moves made to right the ship that is this Celtics roster?
