Is it only myself or have the Celtics been playing like absolute s#*! since the All-Star break? I understand that Perkins got traded, but he was never in the entire season to begin with. They lost Robinson, Marquis Daniels, and Erden but got Green and Krstic. And the O'Neals have been injured for as long as I can remember.
Are the Celtics just going through their post-all-star rest-our-starters-for-the-real-playoffs mode? Is their depth really that poor right now? Or is it really time to write off the Celtics as Eastern contenders?
