Celtics Ain't Havin It
The Boston Celtics have just ended their 22-year title drought tonight.
Gunning for its 17th NBA championship, the Celtics blew past the Lakers, embarassing the purple and gold with a 131-92 butt-whoopin! How about that defense they threw at LA. It was bananas!!!!
MVP Paul Pierce clearly emerged as the star of the series. But an emotional Kevin Garnett was straight clowning after the massacre and left me SMH.
It was a nice moment, however, when Garnett paid homage to the legendary Bill Russell, looking like he was auditioning for the part of Moses in The Ten Commandments.
Although I love my LA boys, I'm glad that a Black coach got some love. Doc Rivers is a class act, and him talking about his recently deceased father Grady just affirmed that African American men, like Tim Russert and his family, understand the meaning of fatherhood.
Ray Allen was in the Boston Celtics' starting lineup for Game 6 of the NBA finals on Tuesday night, but missed much of the first half after getting poked in the left eye.
Allen, who stayed in Los Angeles to tend to his sick child and flew overnight to make it to Boston in time for Game 6, had a scratch above his nose after getting raked in the face by Lamar Odom while making a layup with 4:30 left in the first quarter.
Coach Doc Rivers went to Allen when he returned to the bench, rubbed him on the head and said something that made Allen smile. Allen sat on the bench and appeared to be blinking before going back in the game.
Looks like one of the most successful franchises in NBA history is back, thanks to Doc, Danny Ainge, and brothers doing their thing on the court in this best-of-seven series that ended with a 4-2 tilt toward the Irish.
