The good thing about the NBA is that a team can wash a garbage loss out of their system in short order – maybe even the next day. The bad thing is that you might have to regroup from that loss against the heavyweight champ.

The Wine & Gold would rather forget Sunday night’s showing in Boston. The Celtics – coming off a three-game losing streak – came out in a nasty mood, took a double-digit lead less than four minutes into the contest and blew things open not long after.
