On behalf of reasonable basketball fans all over New England, I’d like to thank the Celtics for hitting the mute button on the alarmists yowling about all that was wrong after their 1-2 start. It’s nice to be able to watch a good basketball team in peace.
Now, I’m not saying they’re sailing to the NBA Finals, or even a fourth appearance in the Eastern Conference finals in five seasons. They have their recurring annoyances and aggravations.. Does every other game have to come down to the last shot? Can’t they mix in a 19-point win once in a while?
