Boston is now 1-6 on the road. It was a near rout of Detroit.

Congrats Celtics! Finally a road win!!

But...but...they can't win on the road, they barely got by the Hawks and Cav's.

I guess they forgot that the weren't supposed to win that game last night.

Lakers @ Spurs tonight....any thoughts?

I think the Spurs will win playing at home, but that won't help them too much as they lose game 4 at home (sorry Spurs fans!)

LOL @ whoever made the thread about the Celtics being done. Since when does a 1-1 series tie mean the series is over?

[garnett_21]

In defense of who made the thread - they hadn't won a road game yet, so they had lost home court advantage, therefore making it tough for them....but, they came out to win their first road game, putting home court advantage back into play

How considerate of you to laugh at people because they are trying to get a discussion started. If you read the thread then you would have realized Boston hadn't won a road game the entire playoffs. They relied on homecourt advantage to win the first two series. But, they lost at home, and thus lost homecourt. Hence the reason why the the thread was started with a poll.

I read the whole thread, and have watched the playoffs. Im well aware of the Celtics and their "trouble" winning away from home. But to say that the series is over after they loose 1 game is funny to me. They were the best team away from home during the reg season, no reason to believe that they wouldnt eventually find a way to win during the playoffs to.

Who said the series was over? It was a poll. 22 out of 33 thought the series wasn't over. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we should respect that.
