Extremely Dissapointed

Great game tonight, but I have to say that there was one thing about tonight that boggled the mind. I was at the game tonight and it was my first ever Celtic playoff game. I did have a blast but I do not get to that many games due to the demand for tickets and such. I did however go to 11 games last year compared to two this year, so go figure.

With approximately four minutes left and the C's up big, a good portion of Celtic fans start filing for the exits! What the heck? A home playoff blow out and C's fan leave the arena? Henry Abbott wrote about a similar thing happened that happened in Philly after their Game 3 win. If you pay so much money for these tickets, why not watch every second and give the team a standing O at the end? It boggles the mind. Especially considering the team was winning!

Not cool, but overall, great game. C's played their best game of the series and played solid basketball for approximately 40 of the 48 minutes. Hawks wouldn't go away in the third but C's just overmatched them talentwise. Doc used some lineups that he doesn't usually use (Rondo at the beginning of the fourth, Cassell to close out for example) which may cause problems down the road but can't complain tonight.

Unless its a clincher that's going to happen in a blowout.

I have to agree with the OP here, although I think the late start time had something to do with people leaving tonight.  The game did not start until almost 8:45 tonight, which is ludicrous.  It is sad that every pro sport has become a slave to network television.

I always stay to the end, but some people have a long trip home, others have kids waiting at home. The game was a really late start, and I'm always happy when the train isn't crowded.
