Cavs-Celts: Worst 7-Game Series Ever?

Well, no, just because the '90s Knicks and Heat aren't involved, but since that was 10+ years ago, and our brains are kind to us and have let us forget most of the John Sparks Era... well, yikes. I don't know whether to look forward to Game 7 this afternoon or just dread it.

Last game was 74-69, or a score that shouldn't happen for three quarters, let alone four. The Cavs won while shooting 33% from the floor; the Celts shot 39. The teams launched 32 3-pointers, and made nine.

So if you're watching this mess, don't expect it to be pretty, or more than a grind. And if you're looking to get an early indicator of who is going to win, see who is hitting their free throws. Because that's going to be something like 1 out of every 4 points in this thing. Pack a lunch.
