1. Almost 3 weeks if it goes to 7

I get that they need rest and build up for TV audiences but geesh.

3. I'm hoping the many rest days in between will make for some stellar

basketball.

7. Last night definitely was

and not just because my team won.

Some really good playing.

6. Why isn't this sport over and done by May??

WAY. TOO. LONG!

2. Cannot believe how ENTIRELY my Warriors fell apart at the end last night ...

That was pretty frightening to watch. Warriors seemed to have nothing left after 3Q and the Celtics absolutely took over and destroyed them in the 4th.

Very bad omen to lose game 1, at home, esp. after a massive, quarter-long collapse at the end.

4. FiveThirtyEight has had the Celtics

winning it all for some time now, before the playoffs even started. Before last night's game they gave 80% odds the Celtics would be champs. Now it's up to 92%. I don't know what metrics they use to come up with these numbers, but watching the Celtics through the playoffs has been a wild experience.

5. I felt the same way

Looked like a typical Warriors home court advantage win at the end of three. Looks like they got a little too over confident.

8. As a die-hard Celtics fan, I certainly

agree!
