The Boston Celtics just suffered losses to the Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks.
Both were surprising losses because of the way that the Celtics didn’t seem present and committed.
They weren’t playing like the best team in the league, which is very troubling because they are about to start their most promising playoff run in years.
On Friday’s “Undisputed,” Skip Bayless said that the team’s defeats and their problems shooting from the three-point line are very concerning.

Jayson Tatum went 1-of-7 from the three-point line on Thursday night.
Jrue Holiday was 1-of-4 from three and Jaylen Brown was 1-of-5 from beyond the arc.
This is very concerning for the Celtics because they have made a name for themselves as three-point powerhouses.
Will they be able to storm through the postseason if they aren’t scoring like that anymore?
Bayless expected a lot more from the team’s starting five and their performance on Thursday left a bad taste in his mouth.
The good news for the Celtics is that they are still the best team in the league and they have only two more games left in the regular season.
Those games are against the inferior Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards.
The Celtics should be able to easily move past those teams and work off any problems they had during these last two games.
Of course, if they don’t, there will be even more concern about them in the first round of the playoffs.
The Celtics had a couple of off nights this week but they are gaining a lot of attention because of just how good they’ve been all season long.
