I called it in the beginning: Boston wins in 6. And after a less than stellar start, we are right where I predicted. Sitting on the cusp of another remarkable NBA title victory.
It’s been an absolute war - both teams ravaging each other, secondary players stepping up while starters faltered, and superstars resting on their laurels one game then adding to their legend in the next. This is arguably one of the greatest NBA Finals played in recent memory.
Game 4 was the Shrek & Donkey show, as two of the most engaging personalities on the Celtics bench – Big Baby Davis and Slam Dunk Champ Nate Robinson – stole the whole f’n show. So bad, Phil Jackson couldn’t even comment on the Lakers futile attempt to halt the opposing bench that night.
Game 5 saw da Kid KG return to form with his best all-around game this post season. 18 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, two blocks and a CHRIS PAUL-like 5 steals, while hitting his first 5 shots of the game. Even as rival coach PHIL JACKSON swore up and down on the sidelines that the Celtics “know how to lose in the 4th quarter”, the mean Green machine held on tight for the V. Kobe Bryant continues to inspire panic and constant hand-wringing, but the sheer volume and magnitude of the Celtics are simply becoming overwhelming. There are just too many angles to beat you by.
And fittingly, after all our talk about bastard NBA refs and their chronic inability to project a clean series… PAUL PIERCE had to go and be a hero to us all by socking a damn ref in the face like a UFC fighter. And getting away with it!!!
Celtics in 6, see you at the Victory Parade.
