Slow start
The Celtics got off to a slow start tonight, falling behind the Bucks 30-23 after the first quarter.
“We gotta do a better job definitely of getting off to better starts,” said Celtics captain Paul Pierce. “The last few games we’ve been starting off slow then settling in but that’s up to the starters at the beginning of the games. Putting ourselves in a hole and we have to understand that especially going out to Detroit and with the teams coming in here next week.”
Kevin Garnett agreed with his teammate.
“A lot of these teams we’re playing are coming out with what we call gas,” said Garnett. “We went through this last year. That’s when teams come out and they’re just hitting everything and we have a saying that we can withstand the first six minutes of the opposing teams’ blow then we get into sync. That’s what they did. They came out, they hit some shots.”
