The Boston Celtics look like they could be in big trouble in this first round playoff series even with Boston’s lopsided 104-87 victory over the Bulls Friday.
That’s because it appears the Bulls may have the home court disadvantage. This was the third consecutive game in this topsy-turvey series in which the home team lost. And we all know that old NBA bromide that a series doesn’t truly begin until the home team loses three games. Huh?
“Tonight they threw the first punch at us and it took us a whole quarter before we responded,” said Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg.
