The Boston Celtics' chances of repeating as NBA champions have looked very good over the past couple of months. But those chances were dealt a sizable blow on Monday when the team fell apart at home and lost Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals to the New York Knicks.

The Celtics blew a golden opportunity to go up 1-0 in the series vs the Knicks. Instead, they are down 0-1 and have lost home-court advantage.
