Get out the stethoscope again, Danny Ainge - your team lacks heart!
In November, when the Celtics stood at 10-10, I wrote about the whereabouts of Danny Ainge's stethoscope - the one he used prior to Game Seven of the 1984 Finals. After a loss to the Lakers, Larry Bird called out his team as being sissies without heart. Danny brought the medical instrument to the locker room to test the heartbeats, or lack thereof, of his fellow Celtics. Get the stethoscope out again, Danny. This 2018-19 Celtics version generally lacks heart.
Another reason why this year feels the way it feels right now?
Being ridiculously spoiled by last year's over achievement.
Saturday was the Celtics' 6th loss in a game they led by double-figures. That only happened 7 times all last year.
