Sat, 19 May 2012 00:07:07 +0000

By Alex Raskin The Boston Celtics have a tremendous opportunity in Philadelphia this evening. If they can beat the 76ers in Game 4 of their second-round Eastern Conference Series—something they easily accomplished in Game 3—they'll have a seemingly

While the Boston Celtics still have a long way to go in their second round matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers, they currently lead 2-1 in the series, one can't help but wonder about the shockwaves that are emanating from Indiana right now.

The Sixers spotted the Celtics 14 points to start the game, looked like they were ready to give up on the game early, got booed off the court at halftime, and the Celtics let them win. Unbelievable.
