Celtics 35-0 all time in game 3 when 2-0

[Bodega]

First post from a longtime (8 years) lurker.

Felt compelled to post this stat: ESPN stats say Celtics are 35-0 straight up when up 2-0 in a best of seven series historically.

Trends may mean nothing, but this seems like such an unbelievable stat. Is there some mental advantage and/or ability to play loose when up 2-0?

At +184 at Bookmaker, I think I’ll have to take it.

you got it wrong. they are 35-0 for final series result not game 3. they've lost many game 3's when up 2-0.

Well I feel pretty stupid. I don’t know how I misread that stat but you’re correct. Thanks for clarifying!

I still feel like there’s value in BOS. It seems too obvious that the Bucks take this game coming back home. MIL shot 59.7% in game 2 and lost by 14. A lot of pressure on MIL. I think BOS wins one more going up 3-0 and then loses game 4.

oops wrong thread

just looked at celts players stats for the two games in boston. they cannot possibly duplicate those numbers on the road. bucks hung in there in game 1 before fading late and forced ot in game 2 but didn't cover. more than likely they lose game 3 for abc who would have dim ratings for sunday's 1:00 game if boston goes up 3-0.

Don't confuse the current Celtics with the Garnett/Pierce/Allen Celtics.
Not saying Celtics can't win but these Celtics can't shoot.
