The Boston Celtics appear to be in freefall after dropping a game on the road to a COVID-19 decimated Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night, with fans having to slog through yet another night of the team failing to live up to even some fairly low expectations.

Watch the clip embedded above to hear what Mannix has to say about Boston’s woes — and what needs to improve to fix them.
