honestly, the worst thing that couldve happened for this celtics team was facing an 8th seeded team with home court as crazy as it sounds...
we've seen the same story tiem and time again when facing inferior opponents. the celtics feel too overconfident and end up gifting them games and in turn making it harder on themselves.
There was no sense of urgency other than game 3...I thought that would spark them to close this out. However, it seems they just got overconfident with that win and then fumbled this one away.
the good thing is, every time the C's have faced adversity they have risen up to the challenge. Hopefully they have awoken and will take hte next two games
