Not sure what to think of them? Don't bother. All you need to do is keep cashing the ML of their opponents whenever they're on the road. They've now lost to teams that include GSW, NYK, and Indiana. They'll all also lose to OKC. Every basement team this year will have a taste of beating Boston.

Boston is a really solid team. Their road record before this recent slump was very good. With that said it looks like everyone else wants a shot at them. Golden State truly demonstrated that Boston is not invincible anymore. I think that we will see Boston rally at some point, but for now it looks like all the dogs are going to show up with there A game against them. Boston should start to win again on the road, but they may fail to cover the spread as much as they did before.

Celtics defense this year is trash. Even when they blow out teams they are still giving up too many points. With high scoring teams, they will win but give up alot of points. They look like they're just outscoring teams but the defense is lagging, especially on the road..

They still have more games to lose before they wake up. Maybe when they lose to OKC, then they'll wake up! If this Boston goes to Minnesota in their current form, the Timberwolves will thrash them hands down!

Somewhat agree johnny...they could get it done offensively last year but what set them apart was their stifling defense. They would buckle down and control the game. They wouldn't allow a lot of easy shots and forced opponents to take a lot of perimeter jumpers with someone in their face. Seems they have gotten away from that a little recently...they have still played solid D for the most part but it seems hit and miss for games where they play like that.
