Will the Irish need luck or get by with skill?

Now that the Bruins season has been ended by the Hurricanes, the only playoffs left for New England to focus on are the NBA playoffs. 

Of course, New England fans will always be thinking ahead and hoping for the best for their Red Sox--but with two months to go to the all-star break, all New Englanders should really be thinking about is the present-- the Celtic vs Magic matchup tomorrow night.

After beating the Chicago Bulls in what felt like a "double" series, with all the overtimes, I didn't think that the Celtics could find the energy to get through another series, but of course my prediction was off and the Celtics have gone to a game 7 with the Magic--making the NBA playoffs feel like an entirely new basketball season all together.

According to NBA.com, the Celtics have never failed when they had a 3-2 lead in the playoffs and have only failed three times in game 7. Will Captain Pierce, Coach Rivers, and guard Ray Allen be able to keep that failure stat at 3, or will the Celtics get danced all over in their journey to become the NBA champions for the second straight year?
