There Are No Moral Victories in Basketball

I must confess that I've been AWOL.  I didn't watch two of the last games. I watch most of the Celtics loss to San Antonio Wednesday night.  The Celts put up a good first half holding even with the Spurs at halftime.  No small accomplishment for a this Celtics team on the second night of back to back road games and following a blowout to Houston.  But, in the second half, the better team won after pulling away in the second half.  Jared Sullinger had 19 points and 17 rebounds while Jeff Green and Avery Bradley also each scored 19.  While the Celtics didn't get a win, they showed their poise and potential most of the game and giving Coach Brad Stevens some hope for better things to come.  "There are going to be nights where we measure progress a little differently…tonight we made a little bit and hopefully we can build off of it,"  Stevens was quoted in The Globe.

The Celtics will have another tough assignment tonight against another well coached team in the Indiana Pacers.  It's a tough game to try and end a 5 game losing streak.  But hopefully they will find more to build on.
