The Boston Celtics returned home tonight and won convincingly to take a 3-2 lead in the Conference Semifinals.  I.T. was a little off his usual game, but bonus points to the rest of the team for stepping it up and filling the void, scoring-wise.  It's reassuring to know that there's still a team beyond Isaiah Thomas.

Friday, the series moves back to Washington, where the Celtics have been 0-2 in post-season play.  If Boston does get past the Wizards, they've still got LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers to contend with, and then after that, most likely the Golden State Warriors.  It's a hard road up ahead, but we're wishing them the best.
