After going to the Eastern Conference Finals last season for the 3rd time in 4 years, the Celtics have struggled to find any consistency in play this year. Amina Smith of NBC Sports Boston joins our Otto Strong and Bruce Bernstein (filling in for Aaron Berlin this week) and tells us that while health issues have certainly been to blame for some of the poor play,, a lack of focus and energy have also come to the forefront. Smith also discusses if the team can find cohesion in time for the playoffs. Bruce & Otto further break down the East and if anyone other than Brooklyn, Philadelphia or Milwaukee (perhaps the red-hot Knicks) can make a run to the Finals.
