Boston - Biggest Chokers EVER

[Col Hogan]

Bruins up 3-0, lose Game 4 in OT, go on to lose the next 3.

Celtics up 3-0, lose Game 4 in OT........

I'm willing to wager the comparison ends there...

You up for a friendly wager...PM me...

Well, as much as I think the Celts are still a lock to win the series, Orlando does have 2 of the possible remaining 3 games at home. But I don't think the Magic have the complimentary big guys to win.

Just noting the comparison between the Bruins collapse & where the Celts' series is, nothing like egging on the Boston brethren. You watching the Stanley Cup Finals starting Saturday?

WE can only hope.

Anyone that doesn't like David Stern, or the other powers that fix the NBA should be rooting for an Orlando-Phoenix Finals...

I'll drink to that! I know blueballs would watch it

[Grizalltheway]

Another game, another chance for Boston to close it out blown.

[dbackjon]

Could there be sequel?

Could there be sequel?

We could only hope. A Orlando/Phoenix Finals would be something I might watch. But if either Boston or L.A. are in it, count me out.

Celtics up 3-0, lose Game 4 in OT........

Bruins up 3-0, lose Game 4 in OT, get hammered in Game 5, go on to lose the next 2.

Celtics up 3-0, lose Game 4 in OT, Magic plays their best game of series in Game 5.......

Perkins facing a suspension for Game 6, even though I think the ref had a quick trigger finger on the 2nd T, Big Baby seeing stars & Rasheed Wallace seeing a chiropractor. Let's face it, whoever wins Friday night wins the series, but I what I saw last night in the 2nd half & the postgame looked to me like the Celtics were gaining speed rather quickly on a slippery slope.

BTW, 1st time in franchise history the Celtics have been up 3-0 and lost the next 2. The wetness factor in Boston sports fans shorts today is a solid 9.

BHBK, the only thing that's better is to actually be living in the Boston sports scene. There's a palpable "OH NO, NOT AGAIN!" feeling around here right now.

Travis? Hello? Earth to Travis?

Man, does Boston even bother getting on the plane for Orlando if they have to go to a Game 7 or do their just forfeit right after a Game 6 loss? Call it a Game 6 if you want, but it's for all purposes a Game 7 - winner takes all.

Too "choked" up to talk??

[clenz]

Orlando finally looks like they team they were all season long.


If Boston doesn't get it done tomorrow, series over.


Also, for as great of a coach that Doc Rivers is thought to be up in Boston I saw on ESPN that he has the second worst record in closeout games in NBA history. I don't remember the numbers but I think his % in close out games was something like 35%

I was listening to the Tony Kornheiser show on DC radio today and they pitched an interesting conspiracy theory. ESPN stood to lose many millions of dollars in advertising revenue had the BOS/ORL series been a sweep. They mentioned how cozy the Celtics star players are with ESPN and how the Celtics (both Pierce and Rondo) seemingly blew opportunities at the end of regulation in Game 4 as well as in overtime to win the game. Then they discussed how shady NBA refs are in general, what with one being convicted of taking bribes a couple years ago, and then pointe out the very fishy technical fouls called on the Celtics early in Game 5, one of which could become a suspension for Game 6.

Take it with a grain of salt, but I found it interesting.

So Kornholer accused the company he works for of fixing the eastern conference finals, on the air? How does the dude still have a job?

He mentioned someone else's conspiracy theory. He did not present it as his own.

So if I were to present the Bible in a high school science class, as someone else's theory and not mine, that would be okay...right?

Yes, if your high school is ESPN.

Ah, I see. I still wouldn't bring it up if I were in his position.
