As a lifelong Celtic fan, it's good to be back in the finals. It doesn't feel as good as I thought it would though. I think because we did it with hired guns in Garnett and Allen. I like Garnett but man, he pisses me off. He's so damn soft on offense. I absolutely hate watching a 7-footer shooting turnaround 15 ft jumpers in the fourth quarter of a tight game. Get inside and do something. Get to the line sometimes. Make the damn free-throws. It's visible how tight he gets when the pressure is on and I hate it. But yeah, I wish it could have come with a team that had been together for a few years and grown together to get to this point but this is the 2008 NBA and that's probably just an old dream. Least we have had this team from the start of the season. We didn't just bring in a guy like Gasol mid-season to turn things around.
Beat LA. In six. If it goes seven, I think the dynamic duo of David Stern and Kobe Bryant will take it.
