These teams continue to baffle me. The motto for this years playoffs should be "Win Big at Home and Lose even Bigger on the Road" The Celtics, Spurs, Hornets, Lebron,Pistons(Game 3) all win big at home then lose big on the road. I believe it was Jeff Van Gundy who said that a playoff series doesn't start till someone wins a road game. So,since 3 of the 4 second round match-ups are tied up with no one being able to win on the road it should be interesting to see how things shake up. The Celtics bother me because it seems to me that a 66 win team should be able to win a road playoff game especially against the Hawks and Lebron James. It's interesting but the critics who said that the Celtics "Big" 3 haven't done this in the playoffs before seem to look real good right now. Watching these Celtics compared to Pistons and Spurs operate during crunch time is quite a contrast. They better figure things out quickly because they have no chance of advancing past Detroit playing like this. The Lakers and Hornets have to win their Game 5's or else their seasons probably will end on the road. It's starting to look more and more likely that we will see a repeat of last years Final Four. Pistons/Cave and Spurs/Jazz.

Pistons versus Spurs

The Pistons have played much better since going down to the Sixers. I still think the Hornets need to close-out the Spurs in Game 6. I just have a bad feeling that the Celts series is going seven regardless of what happens tonight. I do not understand why they cannot get it together. Ray Allen has been awful.
