BOSTON – You don’t have to say it. Kemba Walker will.
“I’m just playing terrible,” Walker said.
He said it on Tuesday, minutes after needing 19 shots to score 19 points in a conference finals opening loss to Miami. He could have said it last Friday, after shooting 31.3% in a Game 7 win over Toronto. Or last Wednesday, when Walker shot 18.2% in a Game 6 loss to the Raptors.
It’s been a good week for the Celtics, a conference finalist for the third time in the last four seasons.
