We all assumed the series would be tied at 2-2 this morning after watching the first 10 min of that game last night. The Celtics couldn't score and they couldn't stop the Lakers. Who'd of thunk a team could have made up a 24 point deficit ... on the road no less.
On a side note, my neighbor is the equipment manager for the Celtics.
I plow his driveway on occasion since he's often on the road for days at a time.
He gave me 4 tickets to the Celtics / Pistons game... (the only playoff home game that they lost ).
Great seats and an exciting game anyway.
Earlier in the year he gave me a green Celtics basketball, autographed by the entire team.
I can't make out many of the signatures. Paul Pierce is pretty obvious. I think Garnet signed his "KG". I'll need help with the others.
If they win the championship my 10 yo son will have a great piece of memorabilia from this 2007/2008 season.

I expected the game to turn out exactly like this after all the new Donoghay allegations just came out. They were out to prove him wrong about everything so people will still be interested in this sport that has made boxing look like an honost one, and that is hard to do.

This was a pretty amazing comeback and I found myself rooting for the Celtics as the game wore on... its hard for me to root for either of these teams with any conviction but I'm always going to get excited about a historic come from behind game.

I think the Celtics have this thing locked up. Maybe now we can all stop comparing Kobe to MJ (please??).

Kobe may be the best player in the league, but he is no MJ.
Besides the fact that MJ was a better B-ball player, Kobe comes across as cocky and arrogant. He criticizes his teamates... during and after the game. I can't imagine MJ causing his team to trade away a player because of a "personality clash" (see Shaq).

And MJ made the players around him better I have yet to Kobe do that.

Cue the black helicopters...
