Mikal Bridges said it best.
He didn’t pull any punches.
Really, how could he? The problem has been that bad. That glaring. That recurring.
Why are the starters struggling so much when on the court together?

Friday played out like it has so many times this postseason.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
