The Boston Celtics have been infuriating to their fans this season with their consistent inconsistency, stumbling closer to and further away from being a coherent, competitive team almost by the hour, or so it seems at times.
But stating the obvious will not go far towards fixing the problem — or perhaps even problems — lingering in the habits of this young roster, and with the season quickly moving in the direction of the February trade deadline, only weeks truly remain before Boston will need to start considering shaking up the roster if results do not manifest themselves on the court.
But what can the Celtics do to fix things otherwise? A Celtics alumnus has a theory on how Boston might be able to coax more focus and energy out of the players on a night-to-night basis; Brian Scalabrine shared his views to NBC Boston Sports colleague Chris Forsberg, and the logic behind it could make sense.
It also runs the risk of further alienating a sometimes-disconnected roster — watch the clip embedded above for yourself, and decide if White Mamba came up with a gem or a potential time bomb.
