OMG - An Even More Nerve-Racking Win by the C's

The Celtics hung on to win Game 5 against the Pistons to take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. This time the mantra during the 4th quarter time-outs had to be "it's the turnovers stupid", as the Celtics frittered away an awesome 17 point lead in the 3rd quarter, engineered in a big way by Ray Allen. However, leaving the door open in the 4th quarter is getting habit-forming for these Celtics, as they just seem to have lost some sense of direction when they get a big lead. Call it taking care of business, which they did better than most teams during the regular season.
