Last night the season came to an end for the Boston Celtics. A first round elimination in 6 games is not the greatest outcome, and for many franchises would be considered a failure. But not all franchises are equal, or in equal position for the future. For example, this summer the Los Angeles Clippers and…

The Smart Bet
For the majority of yesterday’s Celtics/Hawks game (game 4 in the series), Atlanta maintained a lead. Every time Boston would cut the lead down to a basket or two, the Hawks would respond with a run to extend it back to about 10. At the center of everything for Atlanta was their all-star PF, Paul…
