Twenty-Game Detour Finally Ends



Something was clearly wrong when the Celtics lost game 4 in Atlanta, and even more wrong when they lost game 6. The three losses in Cleveland were difficult to stomach, but at least the Cavs had a bona fide superstar on their team, and played tough defense.

Starting the playoffs 0-6 on the road, the Celtics have now won two of three away from the gah-den, including closing out the Pistons at Detroit with a come-from-behind thriller.

I don't know if the Celtics have their mojo back.

But this is the best I've felt about the green since way back in the first round. The twenty-game roller-coaster of the Eastern Conference Playoffs is now over, and it's time to figure out a way to win four more.
