This last week or two has been tough, right? Nothing to play for. A clear drop off from the effort we’ve seen throughout the regular season. Some losses that wouldn't have happened if the Boston Celtics were playing at their best. It’s easy to get concerned or have questions about the coaching staff's resting policy.
It’s also easy to find the negatives in those moments. You begin to wonder if it’s really as simple as flicking a switch once the playoffs begin. You ask yourself if taking your foot off the gas is the right more.
