The Boston Celtics, grappling with their biggest crisis of the season: five defeats in their last six games

Los Boston Celtics They started the season like a bang. After reaching the NBA Finals last year and losing it against the Golden State Warriorsfrom Boston it was clear that this was supposed to be his year.

and its season it was immaculate. They were first in the Eastern Conference and managed to amass 9 game wins, bar one bad dynamics seem to have emerged within the franchise. From in the last six games he has lost five. And the only game they won was thanks to a miracle that put them into overtime after coming up from 13 points behind the Lakers in the final three minutes.

Solo Jayson Tatum seems to follow maintaining the level to which he has accustomed us, but his performances are not enough for the team. Jaylen Brown, Tatum’s faithful squire, he scored under 26.2 points in his last five games, its seasonal average. In his recent match, he only scored 19.

Other secondary like Marcus Smart does not pass his best level facing the basket, averaging just 11.8 points per game, Al Horford has been absent recently in five games Derrick White has only been able to hit 3 of his last 20 3-pointers thrown…

And to all this, we must remember this Boston’s second unit has never been plentiful. Substitutes don’t contribute much, aside Malcolm Brogdon, who averages 14 points per game. The problems are in the team and it seems that if the starting line-up is not guaranteed they will suffer a lot, even if Tatum will certainly relaunch the team.
