The Boston Celtics engaged in major heroics to come back on the Los Angeles Lakers last night. After a record-setting performance in the first quarter, the Lakers showed that they don't have the toughness to win a title. The Celtics, being the older, more experienced, hungrier group of vets, showed the young bucks how to get it done.
It looks like Boston green is going to be in style this year, as the Celtics have finally awakened from the horrible abyss created by the ridiculous Rick Pitino era. Why you would pay a man that much money to give him free reign to destroy your organization, I will never know.
You can't help but cheer for a bunch of old guys trying to get a ring. Also, the Lakers, by taking advantage of David Stern's affirmative action program, are finding that there is no substitute for good strong, black athletes. Now, this is not to say that the European players aren't good, but they don't have the toughness to win championships. Perhaps they can one day prove me wrong.
Congratulations to the Celtics, they've got this one in the bag.
