Celtics Lose 5 of 9 after 17-2 Start

When they were 17-2 they were boring, and folks said, "Let's dispense with the formalities and bring on the Lakers." Then they lost 5 of 9 and the fandom hesitated.

All that was before the Christmas Crisis, when the Celtics blew a 25-point lead on national television against one of the world's worst basketball teams.
