| _________________________________ [Jun 18,2008 11:13am - xmikex ""] My definitive Celtics Game 6 Bulletin: I started out the day a bit uneasy about the game. It was the day of the finals, I couldn't find any definitive information on Perk as to weather or not he'd be playing. Bill Simmons released an article on tennis instead of talking about the NBA finals. I didn't feel like Boston was prepared for what was coming up that night. And any city that isn't prepared for one of the biggest sports moments in almost 25 years doesn't deserve to win anything. But then the gears started to move. Perkins was at practice, said ESPN. Bill Simmons turns out his best article on the series yet. I'm coming home on the orange line with the cars packed full of green shirts, and a couple of green painted chests. The T stops at North Station (Causeway Street and the garden) and the conductor announces "North Station, change here for the green line... GO CELTICS! BEAT LA!". Fuck yeah. This city is fucking ready. I decided to eat at home instead of at Coops so we got there a little late. Eating at Coops every single game of this series, and part of the conference championships is killing my wallet. I can only imagine how much Frank, who drank so much it would have killed a lesser man brought him back from the dead and killed him again every single game, must have dished out. So Bill comes over, and we head out with Lynchie. Coops is fucking packed. The attendence had been lackluster at times at Coops for this series, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Frank, and Dudeguy had already been there since 7:30, and they said they had just then got a table (after stealing it from a bunch of assholes who didn't look too happy with us). I missed the first few minutes, but the Celtics are up by two. Certain things are very much apparent at this point. The Celtics are not the same slow-start team they were during the 3 games in LA. They're alert, hungry, and locked in. With Perkins on the floor LA can't compete with the Celts on the boards. Rondo is setting himself up for a career game. He already had almost half a dozen steals in the first quarter alone. The Lakers are hanging in there, but its becoming obvious who wants it more. Second quarter comes, and Garnett knocks the flood gates open. 26 points, and 14 rebounds on the night for a guy that everyone said "wasn't clutch." The Celtics dominate the second quarter, out-scoring the Lakers 34-15. This is a time when great teams rally. When great players rise above, and find ways to win. Well a great team did rally, and it wasn't the Lakers. Great players did run away with the game, and none of them were Kobe Bryant. The Celtics stuck a dagger in the Lakers that quarter that they didn't have the heart to pull out. Let me please, for a second, get everything negative I have to say out of the way. If you ever felt sorry for the Los Angeles Lakers, don't. The Lakers are a team of phony fans (yuppies, and out-dated celebrities... Slyvester Stallone? Eddie Murphy? Spike Lee? Am I in 1992?), phony acquisitions (the Pau Gasol trade was a joke, and one of the many reasons the Lakers never would have been in the finals if the NBA, and Jerry West weren't pushing for them), phony spirit (all 3 of the European guys refusing to play physical against a physical Boston team, Ronny Turiaf falling down and no one helping him up, Kobe Bryant bitching out his team mates on the floor, Kobe Bryant ON THE BENCH IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF GAME 6!), and phony family (I don't think Kobe Bryant is a rapist. Slutty girls are slutty girls and will lie and say anything for money and attention. He still fucked her though. I don't care how many times he hugs his kids on camera he still cheated on his wife and shit on his family). Fuck them. Every time they had a lead they acted like they had won the Olympic gold dancing around and showboating in everyone's faces. The footage of Sasha Vujacic early on in game 4, pumping his arms up and down like the "Another Game for Milosh!" guy on Seinfeld looked awesome in retrospect when the Celtics came back from a 24 point deficeit to win... leaving Vujacic crying on the bench. Fuck them. The rest of the night from the second half on was just a party. Here's some higlights: - The Celts taking every single opportunity to pour it on hitting 3 after 3 after 3 when they're up by 20, and 30+. - The Celtics keeping their composure until a couple minutes left when KG slams Lamar Odom on a hard foul. - Frank finding a guy taking a shit in the bathroom still screaming "NANANANA NANANANAAA HEEYYYYYY GOOOODBYE!" from inside the stall. - Tony Allen (TONY ALLEN?) turning the game into a scene from NBA Jam for a minute with a backwards alleyoop dunk. - Eddie Fucking House being so locked in all night that Rivers couldn't even contemplate putting Sam Cassel in the game. - Ray Ray shrugging off a tough personal situation, and then a finger to the eyeball to make a dramatic return and put up 26 points for the night. - "POSEY FOR THREE.....IT'S GOOD!" All fucking night. - 18 Steals. 18 Fucking steals on the night for the Celtics. - Drunk Frank pulling everyone aside to personally tell them that Red Auerbach's ghost is coming back from the dead to slap Phil Jackson in the face with his dick. Including Brian in Atlanta on the phone. - The Celtics decimating the record for biggest point differential in a clinching game in the NBA finals. - The fact that the Celtics would have pulled off a 40 point margin of victory if they hadn't given up 2 points on a technical foul for Paul Peirce dumping gatorade all over Doc Rivers. - Paul Pierce getting the series MVP and becoming arguably one of the top 40 players in NBA history. That's all I got for right now. BEAT ALLSTON. |

| _______________________________ [Jun 18,2008 11:34am - BSV ""] I can't believe L.A. just flat out quit playing defense. Did they really think they could over come a 20 defecit by lobbing up 3's? My favorite play which truely defined the game (and this highlite hasn't been shown once today) was KG totally stuffing pau so effectively they called a fucking jump ball. Devestating win. Very curious to see how other teams around the league will be stacking up in the off season. Boston is clearly the team to beat. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 18,2008 11:45am - xmikex ""] CTB, I plan on doing a sports blog this fall with TBoner, and my roomate. Expectations are high. Dead on point Josh. The way the Celtics came back from that huge deficit in game 4 was from clamping down hard on defense, and controlling the ball. The Lakers were so desperate after the second quarter they forgot how to defend, how to drive, and (holy hell) how to pass. How many turnovers did they have in the second half? It was like watching a WNBA team. |

| _________________________________ [Jun 18,2008 11:48am - xmikex ""] I'd like to add a couple more highlights: - Coops (the bar I was at) classing it up for a minute by offering everyone free shots of champagne. And Frank (the singer of BBA) classing it down bigtime by whipping fistfulls of them at people. - My girlfriend waking up just long enough to tell me that I'm "the black Paul Pierce." (that's not a typo) - Going to work smelling like beer, and champagne and not having drank any. - |

| ________________________________ [Jun 18,2008 3:18pm - xmikex ""] I gotta make an edit to my last couple posts. THIS may have been my favorite moment of the night: [img] This is why KG will go down as a legend in this town. Attitude. Work ethic. And Respect. If anyone hasn't read it already read Simmons' article on the game. 10 years in this town for Paul Pierce. I may not have watched every game in that time, but I watched enough to recognize the guy for what he was. We surrounded this guy with shitty teams, shitty coaching staffs, and half hearted douchebags (I'm looking at you Wally Sczerbiak) and this guy was still always the heart and soul of the team. At my old job I used to watch taped Celtics games while I was supposed to be scanning them for commercials, and I'd be transfixed by Pierce and the effort he turned out every single goddamn night while he dragged a young inexperienced team on his shoulders up and down the court. Watching him in that one replay they showed every single game of Pierce knocking down a game winning jumper, Delonte West picking him up and carrying him off the court, Pierce coming back and jumping up on the official's table like he's King Kong, Tom Heinson screaming like a mental patient, was enough to get me through a shitty day. I can't help but be happy for the guy. [img] Anybody else see the look on Danny Ainge's face with about a minute left to go. The guy still looked miserable. |

The Metro had a decent article on this today. We have the big 3 locked down for a few more years. In fact, we have almost all the key players coming back for several more years. The exceptions are Posey (who has an option for another year, or he can become a free agent), and House (who will be an unrestricted free agent). Sam Cassel announced that he'll be back for another year... I don't think anyone told him that no one wants him back yet. I'd love to see Eddie House come back, but considering the fact that he's proven he can be a starting point guard he'll probably look elsewhere. Then again if Boston wises up, and gets rid of Sam Cassel we might see him back. Posey's a career journeyman, but he's beloved right now in Boston. For his sake, and ours I hope he stays. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 20,2008 9:40am - aril ""] What about Scal? Huh? What about him? He's the best player on the bench. (obviously joking) |
| _________________________________ [Jun 20,2008 10:28am - xmikex ""] Scal is going back to work at Finagle A Bagel on Monday. He doesn't have anymore sick days, and his manager is sick of putting up with his shit. He can't afford to lose this job because his mom will totally kick him out of the house. That's what ESPN said anyways. |
