NBA: Celtics wobbling

The Boston Celtics have major issues to address in the final six weeks of the regular season - and their struggles were highlighted on Saturday with an embarrassing 104-96 loss at home to the New Jersey Nets.

After fading badly in the second half in a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday, Boston faltered again when facing the team with the worst record in the NBA.

For the Nets, it was a huge morale boost. Brook Lopez led the way with 25 points while Devin Harris added 23 and Courtney Lee had 21.

But for the Celtics it should have been a wake up call. Unless they step up a few gears, they will be blown away by the Cavs, Magic and Hawks in the playoffs.
