NESN, I think, is going the sensationalism route in its last two ads.  They're pretty clearly hitting the hysteria button.  The recent article has some good points, but also at times buys into the "the sky is falling" mind set.

Apparently it is now 'Disturbia at the Garden' The sensationalism is just disturbing.

In all, the Celts are now just 1-4 against the NBA’s top title contenders (LA, San Antonio, and Cleveland) this season. They were 5-1 against those squads in ’07-’08.

ughh, throwing in san antonio and leaving out the magic for the sake of making us look worse is obnoxious.. also we were 6-2 against those squads  last regular season(those teams were also much different last regular season) and 8-5 against LA and cleveland in the playoffs

Also, this isnt last season, the celtics dont have as much urgency and freshness in this regular season, this is fact, there bench isnt quite as good, the schedule has been busier and harder, also those elite teams are all better because we BEAT THEM LAST YEAR IN THE PLAYOFFS and the target on our backs is bigger
