Celtics Look to Snap Franchise Streak at 18 Games
The Boston Celtics have lost eighteen straight games, a franchise record that continues to grow to the dismay of players, fans and those in the Boston media. Tonight, the Celtics will play host to the Milwaukee Bucks (19-33) and will try to snap the streak before setting out on a difficult stretch.
After tonight’s game the team will be idle through All Star Weekend. When the Celtics return to action though next week, they will have to head out on a five game road streak against the league’s elite Western Conference teams. Taking on the Kings, Suns, Lakers, Jazz and Rockets — the Celtics will not only be facing the leagues best — they’ll also have two back to backs in that stretch.
Tonight though, it’s the Celtics and Bucks — and that means that Delonte West (10.9 ppg, 4.3 apg) will oppose Charlile Bell (12.3 ppg, 2.9 apg). The Celtics look forward to having both Paul Pierce and Wally Szczerbiak back on the floor together for the first time in months.
For more on tonight’s game, please check out the Celtics.com preview as well as the preview over on Yahoo! Sports.
Finally, I want to apologize for the lack of coverage on the site recently… I’m proud to say that Delonte’s newest fan was welcomed to the world on Wednesday February 7th. As a result, I had been sleeping in a chair in a hospital and out of touch for a while… but things are all good now!
Have a great Valentine’s Day, and here’s hoping that the Celtics will cure a lot of heartache tonight!
