The news/hype reasons for this are as follows: the only other pro team to come back from 3-0 was the Boston Red Sox, so that will be a cute little angle for ESPN to play with. Also, as I've said, "Boston Strong" is real and those people won't let their Celtics just fold. They'll come back and "be resilient just like those precious bombing victims".
Logistically and basketballwise, it isn't farfetched at all. Boston is guaranteed to win today with no JR Smith and avoiding a sweep. All of the sudden, they get some confidence. You go into NY down 3-1 with the Knicks still lax and knowing they have a 3 game pad and steal that, it's 3-2. Then you go home in what is basically your game 7 must win and win that. Then, all of the sudden, it's 3-3 and anything can happen (especially a Carmelo Anthony Game 7 Choke).
Boston will win this series. Don't kid yourself.
