Jayson Tatum highlighted the Celtics' disappointing home record, stating they've "let our fans down" and must improve after success on the road. Despite a strong 22-6 away record, their home performance has dropped to 16-10, with losses against lower-ranked teams significantly impacting their standings. Insights from fellow player Payton Pritchard revealed that the team struggles to regain momentum after long road trips, emphasizing a need for better performance to honor their dedicated fanbase. Tatum vowed to rectify the home game issues as they transition to face the Spurs.
"We give up too many easy ones at home," Tatum said. "So, we've got to make up for it. We've got to get back on track at home because we've let our fans down too many times this year and sometimes last year, so we owe it to them to play better at home and we're going to figure it out."
Last season was a breakthrough at home, both in the regular-season and the postseason. It's been a tougher climb this season, but the Celtics seem to be finding their way.
We've been struggling this year coming off of long road trips, coming back home, the first game at home," Payton Pritchard said after a home loss to Dallas last week. "It's something we've got to fix. I don't know if it's just the effort side of things."
