The Celtics lost a 12 point lead, their composure, and eventually Game 6 to Atlanta 103-100 Friday night. The series is now tied 3-3 and shifts back to Boston for a decisive Game 7.
The sports casts, news articles, message boards, and blogs are littered with questions and criticisms. How can the play-off team with the worst record challenge a team with 30 more wins? How can a team with the best road record lose 3 straight road games in of all places Atlanta? Why did Eddie House and Tony Allen only play a combined :22 seconds in the last game? Why was Rajon Rondo taking the last shot of the game?
In their history the Celtics have never lost a Game 7 after leading a series 3-2, but Coach Doc Rivers has never won a first round play-off series and is 0-2 in Game 7. Will the Celts continue their Game 7 dominance or will the Atlanta Hawks pull-off the biggest upset in NBA history? All these questions and more will have to wait until after Sunday's game.
