Celtics @ 7: Boston Missing Jae Crowder During 4-Game Losing Streak
BOSTON (CBS) -- The Celtics have matched a season-high with four straight losses and they've dropped 5 of 6 to slip from third in the Eastern Conference standings to sixth.
Jae Crowder's high ankle sprain is one of the main reasons for Boston's recent struggles, though tough opponents and injuries to Kelly Olynyk and Jonas Jerebko have obviously contributed as well.
Host Adam Kaufman tackled these issues and more on Saturday's "Celtics @ 7" on 98.5 The Sports Hub. SB Nation NBA writer Paul Flannery joined the show as well.
Kaufman outlined Crowder's often underrated importance to the C's, why his absence has led to a meltdown on the court, and whether there's any real chance of Kevin Durant choosing to leave the Thunder for the Celtics this summer.
