5 rational thoughts about the Celtics’ first home loss this season
The NBA is unforgiving. A four-game winning streak can quickly become a two-game losing streak, and that’s what happened last night as the Celtics suffered their first home loss of the season. They sure could’ve used Marcus Smart this week.
1. Wins and Losses
Two days ago, I sat and pondered how sweet it would be for the Celtics to come out of their back-to-back with two wins and a 19-5 record. Instead, two losses in about 24 hours left them at 17-7, and left fans frustrated.
When the Celts win, they do it pretty comfortably. Their 17 Ws have come with an average 11.7 points margin of victory. In their seven Ls, they’ve lost by an average of 4 points.
