The Boston Celtics continue to attempt to regroup and band together to reverse what has been a disappointing season so far. Celtics beat writer Tom Westerholm reported that the team held yet another long meeting on Saturday as the team discussed how to bounce back from a three-game losing streak:

The Celtics had a team meeting in the immediate aftermath of their ugly loss at home to the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday, and they felt they needed a follow-up to continue to iron out their issues.

Celtics head coach Brad Stevens is regarded as one of the best in the business. If he thinks that these long meetings are benefiting the team in the long run, he is more then likely correct.

The Celtics' performance this season has been one of the biggest surprises in the league. Last season, the team was one win away from reaching the NBA Finals, even as they played without Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward.

They lost a heartbreaking Game 7 to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the future seemed bright for the talented squad.

Many pundits predicted the Celtics to cruise to the top seed of the Eastern Conference this season, but the opposite has been true. The team has faced injuries to key players and less output than expected from Hayward and Jaylen Brown.

Even after this, they are still currently the fifth seed in the Conference with a record of 18-13 as we approach the midway point of the season.

There is still plenty of time left to pull the team together, and if anyone can do it, Brad Stevens can. It would be a shock if the Celtics don't develop into an elite team as the season goes on.
