The Honey-Do Distraction

[Q_FBE]

The Celtics come home after their successful business trip to Orlando - Now they are given three full days off. The NBA has taken a two day vacation apparently. This article below is the definition of the honey-do distraction.

The Celtics have a commanding 2-0 lead and a chance to close out the series at home. It would be in their best interest to do so and not have to go back to that awful floor in Orlando. Now with three days off, the Celtics can lose a lot of their momentum and Orlando has three days to put togehter a game plan to get back in the series. Last series, following two horrible practices, Cleveland blew them out in Game 3 after three days off. My experience is that on your day off from work, the honey comes in and asks for favors, errands, chores, or whatever to distract you. It is kinda like coming on your 1st day after a vacation or long weekend and it takes you three hours to get untracked. By the time the Celtics got untracked against Cleveland, they were down 36-15 and basically matched baskets the rest of the way.

Will history repeat itself on Saturday night?

Now granted - The Celtics played Friday for Game 3 vs Cleveland and their regular season home record was an abysmal 4 and 6 on Fridays. This game is being played on Saturday, thankfully.

Something about the thought of that cracks me up.  Like Ray Allen's wife coming in and telling him that he needs to clean the gutters or put down the new flooring.
