The Celtics are WORLD CHAMPIONS! And what a way to do it with a thirty nine point beat down. In a league that has become all about superstars and offense, the Celtics snatched the title the old fashioned way with team basketball, focused defense, and consistent play from a deep bench. Other thoughts:
- Most touching moment of the night had to be KG to Bill Russell: "I hope I made you proud, man."
- Ray Allen ties an NBA finals record with 7 three pointers. Although Pierce walked away with the MVP, Jesus was a consistent force from start to finish of this series
- Eddie's skillz, P.J. Brown's toughness, Powe's hustle, even a Big Baby sighting. How much fun is the Celtic's bench?
- Talk about defensive shut down: Celtics had more steals than the Lakers had field goals in the first half.
- Coming soon to TBS, the new situational comedy "Pau Gasol and the Eurosofties". Sample bit of dialogue:
Gasol: Did you see flop to court? Me play defense.Vujabitch: Yes! Yes! Me take shot. Three balls for Sasha.Radmanovich: I must break you.
- Red Auerbach's all time final record remains intact. It was a long time coming, but The Truth reigns supreme.
- Are you ready for a parade?
