The Celtics Curse
The Boston Celtics were the NBA’s best team all season long. When they were at home, this team seemed almost unbeatable. On the road, the story was not much different. In the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Celtics are undefeated at home. However, they can not buy a win on the road. The first series went to seven game, and the amazing part is that the Celtics were playing the Hawks. In the second series, the story was the same, four home wins, three road losses. Now the Celtics face the Detroit Pistons in the conference semifinals. I don’t believe the Celtics will be able to keep this trend up against the Pistons. Thy are facing a very good road team that is also playoff proven. The Celtics need to pick up their game if they want to win the series and move into the finals.
