Video: Garnett: ‘We’re not a flawless team’
Celtics forward Kevin Garnett says the team is playing well, but any expectations of perfection were off base.
“In comparison to what we have opposed to years past, I don’t know,” said Garnett. “I’m just assuming here, you tend to think it is supposed to start off damn near perfect. I think we won whatever at the beginning of the season and that set the tone for what the season could be and I think you read those potentials not knowing that we are not a flawless team and we do make mistakes and teams that are out there are good and do have good players on their team and some nights we are going to look bad and some nights we are not going to win. I just think that this team has been a work in progress. We have pushed this issue of moving the ball. We watched film — we try to correct mistakes and stuff like that — and I think we are just true to what we talk about. And each guy is giving 100 percent and that is what it was.”
Said Ray Allen, “We’re the same team, I don’t think we have anything we were worried about…Teams that beat us played well against us so we didn’t panic. I expect you guys to ask the questions, you know we got to come out here and do our jobs and when we don’t win we can point on the small little things we need to do to get better. Even in wins we still think that way, that’s where we want to get home court advantage and continue to play well.”
