The Boston Celtics are losing games in which they should have easily won. As a result, they have now surrendered the Eastern Conference leadership to the Chicago Bulls. The Beantown outfit has lost half of their last ten games and is now a game behind the streaking Bulls. Obviously, this is not the kind of a run they would want to end the regular season as they move forward to the post-season play next month. Boston’s team leaders Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce says all their guys should be on the same page as far as team urgency is concerned and must be mentally prepared as the real season is about to unfold in their quest for "Banner 18", according to ESPN.
Kevin Garnett: “The urgency has to be there and it has to be there as a group. We've got guys learning on the fly, and it's not easy, it's not easy. Especially when you're trying to get stops, to be in a defensive rhythm, and that translates over to good offense. It's difficult, but if anybody can handle it, we can.”
Paul Pierce: “Everybody's just got to be mentally prepared and understand what's at stake.”
