"Guys are excited about playing us and when they come out here, they're showing it," said an unnamed Celtics player, highlighting how teams elevate their performance against Boston.
Last year, the Celtics felt like a juggernaut, wielding the NBA's most efficient offense and second most efficient defense, dominating the league with depth and shooting prowess.
Brian Scalabrine noted, 'We’re not playing what I call that hard-nosed Celtic basketball that we got to seeing last year where there was fear in the eyes of our opponent. That fear is gone.'
The Celtics are not just losing, but to sub-.500 teams, which is concerning. Their drop in efficiency in both offense and defense is evident as they struggle to maintain a top position.
