The Boston Celtics were a popular choice to make some noise in the Eastern Conference this season after the addition of Al Horford, but an uninspiring 3-3 start has raised questions.
After the team’s 123-107 loss to the Denver Nuggets, guard Isaiah Thomas admitted that the first six games of the season had served as something of a reality check for the confident team.
Isaiah Thomas: "We’re not as good as we thought we were. When we don’t come out with a sense of urgency, we’re not a good team."

Remember, the Celtics had the third best record in the East last year. It was one of the things that attracted Horford. It’s not time to panic, but the Celtics might have a new sense of urgency after the slow start to their season.
