Can the Celtics please make this man eat his words?

Well, Dwight Howard is pretty confident about his team’s chances.  (Boston Globe)

“They’re playing great basketball right now,” center Dwight Howard said. “They’re playing with a lot of confidence. And I think for us if we want to win the series, we have to do all the things we did in the first two series. And if we do that, we should win. We should win this series, but we all have to believe that and we have to understand that it’s not going to be easy.

“If we come out and play the way we played in the first two series, we should win this one.”

I hope the Celtics make Howard eat these words.  I really, really do.  Almost nobody seems to be giving the Celtics a chance, even after they undoubtedly controlled five out of six games against Cleveland.  Nobody’s giving the Celtics any type of credit.

Keep doubting, America and Dwight Howard.  Keep doubting.
