By this point, it’s fair to say that neither the Celtics nor the Bruins have benefitted much from the playoff home-court advantages they built this season.
The Bruins got bounced in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs and went 1-3 at home, dropping the decisive Game 7 at TD Garden.
The Celtics, who lost what Malcolm Brogdon called a “must-win” Game 5 on Tuesday night, have been a little better (but still not great) with a 3-3 home playoff record so far this postseason.
It’s been like this for a few years now.
