WALTHAM, Mass. – “We’re in some quicksand right now.”
Rookie Marcus Smart made that comparison after Saturday’s practice in Waltham, and the Celtics are very much looking for a lifeline to pull themselves out of a 3-0 series deficit. They’re trying to remain focused on the immediate task at hand, which is winning Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and not worrying about the bigger picture, which is winning their next four games to advance to the next round.
“We have to be ultra-desperate and ultra-urgent because of where we are, but we pretty much play that way anyway,” Celtics Coach Brad Stevens said of being down in a 3-0 hole.
