Mediocre patterns are prone to disappointment. You can call it bad luck but the atmosphere does not care about odds. Systems are getting shredded as they move East and the results are paltry precipitation moving into marginal air masses. They are not even train wrecks just slow derailment in the mid-levels.
The bucks and raptors had better inside games then the Celtics do. Maybe if Robert Williams could play more than three games in a row they would be better.
Anyway, we should take the sports to banter.
Despite the NBA being compromised by the run and gun bombs away era, I still feel like the key to a championship, is being able to play beast mode in the paint and the Celtics have just not had that in a while. No anchor inside = no Finals.
