It’s like Christmas come early for the Boston Media with the exception of Bob Ryan who is the only writer worth reading in this city.   Nobody and I mean nobody is happier than this group of miserable fucks that the Celts dropped two in a row in Atlanta.   You could almost hear Gerry Callahan and Shank having an orgasm as they wrote their articles today.  You don’t believe me?  Check out this garbage from Callahan’s piece;

"Celtics On brink of biggest collapse in Hub history"

"They spent the first six months of the season making NBA history, and here they are, flirting with history again. If they do not win two of their next three games, the 2007-08 Celtics will be remembered for only one thing:  The worst collapse in Boston sports history. There is a bright side, though. If they lose this series, at least they’ll get to throw out the first pitch at a Red Sox [ team stats] game in the year 2030. And it might take that long to get over this kind of collapse. It is almost unthinkable. The Celtics would be only the second No. 1 seed ever to lose a seven-game series to an eighth seed, and the first one was Dallas, which barely counts. A loss to the Hawks would be worse than the Patriots[ team stats] falling to the Giants in the Super Bowl because at least Rodney Harrison [ stats] tried to cover David Tyree A loss to Atlanta would be worse than any postseason loss the Red Sox ever suffered because, let’s face it, there is no equivalent to the Hawks in the baseball playoffs."

First of all since when does being tied 2-2 qualify as being on the brink of collapse?  And I love how he just acts like Dallas losing as the #1 seed didn’t count last year when everybody picked them to win the whole thing.   I wouldn’t put it past Callahan to think this was a 5 game series.  After all he’s probably watched a grand total of 3 minutes of basketball all year.  Seriously anybody who knows anything about the NBA playoffs knows that the series doesn’t even begin until you beat somebody on their home floor.   Yeah, it was surprising that the Celts lost both games in Atlanta.   But both those games were a hell of a lot closer than the demolition job we put on them at the Garden.  If Atlanta comes in and beats us tonight then all bets are off.   But is there anything over the course of this season or this series that make people think the Celts will lose tonight?   And even if the impossible happens and they do lose this series are we really saying this is the worst collapse in the history of Boston Sports?  Blowing a 2-0 lead?    Worse than the Pats losing the Superbowl?  Give me a fucking break.   This is why 97% of Boston Sports fans hate the Boston media.   Nobody like reading blowhards who have nothing interesting to say and whose only purpose in life is to say the most outrageous shit possible.    Do me a favor Gerry and get a fucking clue you miserable fuck.
