You know, as I'm slowly slipping into denial, I've developed a theory.
Boston is throwing away the regular season so that all the other teams think they're toast. Think about it, NY probably relishes playing us now, as they think, "Wow, we've beaten them in their house two straight times! They got nothing on us!"
Then, we'll go back in the time machine, and stun everyone and win the championship. Book it.
Alright, it's probably time for me to go to bed.
