It Wasn't That Long Ago That The Boston Media Was Calling This Team The Greatest Choke Job In the History of Boston Sports

 

Oh the memories! Truth be told the Hawks were a much more formidable foe than the Lakers. Regardless does everybody remember this gem from Gerry Callahan a month ago. When he started talking about monumental choke jobs when the Atlanta series was tied at 2! God the Boston Media is so pathetic. We called them out for it right away, but it's still hilarious to look back at how wrong they were.

"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."
