The Boston Celtics are currently standing in a peculiar situation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the reigning and defending world champions who cemented a historic campaign last year<\/a>, expectations are sky-high for the Boston Celtics<\/a> in this 2024-25 season. But recently, they aren’t living up to the hype enough as inconsistencies are evident at their side.<\/p>\n

From the losses, lack of effort, and inability to maintain their momentum, doubts and frustrations are now growing for the Celtics heading to the most important part of the regular season.<\/p>\n

Celtics have now fear<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Their Saturday night 119-115 overtime loss against the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> offered the Celtics their latest loss..<\/p>\n

Boston led by as much as 12 points in the marquee contest and were up by eight early in the fourth quarter, before the Hawks outscored them 46-36 for the remainder of the match.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Celtics were already on the cusp of winning it with 20.1 seconds left in regulation while leading 103-100, but a Jrue Holiday<\/a> turnover and a Jayson Tatum<\/a> free-throw split allowed the Hawks to push for an extension and eventually get the escape victory.<\/p>\n

Inquired if he is bothered by this loss as this marks another inefficient performance from Boston, head coach Joe Mazzulla<\/a> simply brushed off any worries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s no fear,\u201d Mazzulla said. \u201cI’m actually more excited at this juncture of the season than I was at the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cBecause, as I said, this is part of it. It’s the fun part. And again, we talk about what we’ve been able to accomplish as a team in the past, and if we’re going to be on a journey together for however long that is, two years, whatever the case may be, this is what you sign up for. <\/p>\n

“This is the most fun part that you have to have.\u00a0And as long as we’re in it, that’s how we’re going to attack it. <\/p>\n

“So, I didn’t mean to cut off your question, but there’s zero fear whatsoever. If anything, there’s excitement. And this is the journey. So, sign me up for this.\u201d<\/p>\n
