No, I'm not.  

It's been very encouraging how the Celtics have responded to 
adversity these past 2 weeks.  If this year's team were like the 
last 2 years, then when they went on the road to San Antonio or played 
the team with the best record (LA), without their best player, and with
other injury problems with their better players, they would have been
blown away.  Instead, this year's team almost came from behind to steal 
a game from San Antonio, and after 5 straight losses, the Celtics still 
played with enthusiasm and gave LA a run.

It took a coming together of injuries to 3 top players, a lot of road 
games and games against top teams to create this 6 game losing streak. 
The most disappointing loss was the one in Houston, but the other ones 
weren't so bad, and they're not getting down or discouraged, for which 
we must give credit to Pitino.

When injuries heal, this team will kick some butt, even against those 
top teams, and on the road.
