Road Losses Make Owners Plenty of Money

[Celtics_History_Lesson]

I remember reading that one Knicks home playoff game was worth $1,000,000 to Dolan, MSG, Cablevision.

So even if the number is quite a bit lower for the Celtics, they are probably $2,000,000 above their projected earnings due to the extra home games against the Hawks and Cavs.

So there shouldn't be any crying from the owners about paying the luxury tax or buying-out an unproductive coach, they can afford it.

Wycliffe Grousbeck might be able to afford to buy a first rounder from one of the cheap teams now. $3,000,000 to buy the pick to draft Hibbert or Love, a good deal.
