Former Boston Celtics guard and current studio analyst Eddie House was clearly a bit upset following the Boston Celtics’ 117-109 loss to the Orlando Magic back in December.
On the Celtics’ postgame show, he unartfully blasted the Celtics for the loss to the then-lowly Magic. This was not a game the team could lose. They could not sleepwalk through any game, especially against a team they should beat like the Magic. These were losses they would regret.
Magic fans, of course, listened to the insult. The clip of the criticism made its way to the locker room and the young team seethed at not getting credit for the win.
