Will These Celtics be Remembered for 66 Wins or For a Game Seven Loss?
—
It is safe to say that no thought that there would be a seventh game in the Boston-Atlanta series. Not only will this season be considered a failure if the Celtics lose to Atlanta but this will be called the greatest upset in NBA history and it will likely leave a permanent negative mark on the resumes of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen--particularly if that trio never wins a title.
