Anyone have the feeling we're kind of locked into a 7 game series now? With game 7 being a crapshoot?
Losing Game 1 at home is such a kick in the nuts.
Again...
But they somehow seem to find a way to win more 7 game series than they lose. Which is no small accomplishment.
Weirdest tea ever.
I thought it would be a 6 game series before it started and I still expect it to be a 6 game series.
And 6 games only because this Celtics team isn't disciplined enough in putting away teams and gives games away. They should trounce this Miami team. They won't but they should. Instead they'll let Miami hang around, steal a win or two because Boston isn't lethal enough in finishing teams off.
The Celtics did this against the Hawks in round one, against Philly in round 2, last year againt Milwaukee in round two, last year against Miami in ECF. They just keep shooting themselves in the foot and giving games away. It is a pattern at this point. It is who they are. They make life difficult for themselves.
I just expect a few miserable performances & losses at this point when a series starts. It is who they are.
.... But they are still far far far better than Miami. Boston is winning this series even if they make it tougher on themselves than it should be.
