Philly/Boston: Let's keep in mind.

Though they have definitely been impressive, and certainly have a big coaching edge, let's keep in mind that really, all Boston has done so far is do what they are supposed to do: hold home court advantage.

This isn't like the Cavs/Baby Dinosaur series where the Cavs have ripped the heart our of the Raptors and taken home court advantage and a 2-0 lead ON THE ROAD. Now, obviously, if Boston takes one in Philly, that's a different story. But so far, all Boston is done is what they are supposed to do, and as we all know, in their series w/Milw, both teams won every game at home.

Very good reminder.

Due to the inflated spreads and lack of respect for Boston it does feel like Philly has disappointed but they simply have to take care of business in a rowdy home venue now.

Yep. Not saying that Philly hasn't look pretty bad at times, or that Boston isn't going to end up winning this series, but so far, all Boston has done is what they are supposed to do.
