Celtics Halfway to Infamy Losing Game 5

by David WhitleyFiled under: Celtics, Magic, NBA PlayoffsORLANDO, Fla. -- Paging Harry Frazee, the '78 Red Sox, Bill Buckner, this year's Bruins and Dr. Heimlich. Please pick up the white courtesy phone and offer the Celtics some advice. How do they avoid joining you in the junk heap of Boston history? They are edging ever so closer after Wednesday night's 113-92 wipeout at the Amway Arena. I'm not saying the Cs now stand for Chokers. We'll see what happens Friday night in Boston. But wasn't it just four days ago we were ready to concede them the NBA title? Maybe you weren't, but I did. To quote Emily Litella, never mind. Bostonians are starting to suffer Bruins flashbacks. Their hockey team blew a 3-0 lead to Philadelphia, marking only the fourth time in American sports history that a team has blown a 3-0 lead in a seven-game series.
