Where the Bruins couldn't deliver, the Celtics have. A season where not much went right and the team battled through injuries and lost-identity, they have found a way to beat the odds in the playoffs and restore hope in the Boston-sports fanbase. This doesn't necessarily help ease the pain for me, but it does for the Celtic-Bruins "Hybrid Fans." At least, for now, the Boston Sports Arena has something to cheer for. Celtics, you're the toast of the city, way to come through.
Side Note: Prior to the game, something inside me was pulling for the Magic. I almost wanted them to come back from 3-0 down just so some other fan base would have to feel the pain that the Bruins dished out a few weeks ago. But I'm glad they didn't blow it, because at least some Boston fans have something to cheer about these days.
Side Question: How badly did Kobe shit himself tonight? I keep hearing that the Lakers have nothing to match the Celtics, that Rondo will just run wild that series. Also can't help that Andrew Bynum apparently has only one leg and could be defended by 100 year old John Wooden these days. Not only that, but Kobe has to be reliving the nightmare of a few years ago when the Celtics beat him in his own building and then shoved it in his face at the ESPY's.
Kobe is going to put more pressure on himself because LA lost to Boston last time. If Kobe shots 25+ a game, then Boston will be golden.
ReplyDeleteLA is a bad team when Kobe takes all the shots. LA is dominant when they use Kobe as a ploy and have him take over in certain situations.
Rondo will average 20+ points and 10+ dimes for the series... Farmar and Fisher can't come close to covering him.
