Paul Pierce on Losses: The World’s Not Coming to an End

01.7.2009 - Updated on 01.7.2009

Celtics fans need not join any doomsday cults or fill out a change-of-address card for the afterlife.

“We have six losses,” Paul Pierce [stats] said. “I mean, the world’s not coming to an end.”

For those immersed in Green, however, the skies are rather gray and threatening these days. Four of those six losses to which Pierce referred have come in the past six games.

It wasn’t all that long ago the Celtics [team stats] were off to one of the best starts in league history and winking with purpose at the Chicago Bulls’ record for most wins in a season. But after losing 4-of-5 on the road, the Shamrocks are shaking their head at 72 victories.

every team is capable to beat any other team in the league on any given night. its just a matter of who wants to win more and whos willing to give the effort. and for the past few games it was obvious to tell that the effort just wasnt there. the celts were not playing celtics basketball and that was and is the biggest problem. but im confident that they will get out of this slump and i know they are too. .

you may think i SHOULD be worried but again i am still not. even after tonights loss against houston im not worried. this is just a bump in the road and the celts will eventually get over it. and okay they lost to the knicks and bobcats.. so what??? sure they’re not the best teams in the league but they both played good games against the celts. especially new york. that was the best ive seen them play all season. you have to remember that every team is gunning at the celts and playin at 100% against them every night which means the celts have to play at 110% every night and that could ware these players out. and therefore some players or the whole team just doesnt "show up" for games. im not making up excuses for their losses. im just sayin. .
