"Anything is Possible!"

Last night the Boston Celtics won the NBA championship and broke some records in the process. They won by 39 points which is near the record for biggest margin. This is their 17th championship, which makes them the franchise with the most championships.  The Celtics had 18 steals, which is a record for the championship clincher.  Ray Allen had 7 3-pointers, yet another record for a game of this magnitude!  The magic # though, is 3...the big 3 to be exact!

Let's start with Ray Allen.  He got clawed in the face by Lamar "The Grinch" Odom.  He had to be looked at by an eye doctor and was out of the game for a majority of the 3rd quarter and still managed to set his record.  Paul "The Truth" Pierce played his heart out yet again and won the MVP.  He is the only Celtic who has been here since before the Danny Ainge era.  He hyped everyone up when he poured Gatorade all over Doc Rivers, who refused to touch the trophy until "he earned it."  Talk about class!  And last but not least, the crazed, psycho-maniac who IS Kevin Garnett.  He seems to have multiple personalities; the cool collected, but not always calm one who does the interviews and can inspire us all with his words, and the savage player who can make anyone's spine quiver.  He has the facial expressions of a jackal when he's on the court, and the tears of a happy child when he is speaking. After the game he shouted out his mom and said, "Anything can happen!"  And he is absolutely right.

All of the Celtics played well last night, not just the Big 3.  P.J Brown had an outstanding game, playing with his usual toughness.  The rookie, Davis, was hustling; Posey was diving for loose balls.  Rondo commanded the court both on offense and defense.

The one player, who we all thought would fight to the end was nowhere to be found in the 4th quarter and the Boston Crowd said it best, "Where is Kobe?"  He sat out most of the 4th quarter and in my opinion it looked as if the Lakers were giving up.  Even though the lead was obscene, they should have fought to the end.  Kobe has the biggest mouth in basketball and should have backed that up with his actions at the end of the final game in a championship series that he supposedly wanted so much.

Kevin Garnett said, "I'm certified," and all of the Boston Celtics are.  Congratulations to a team full of deserving players and a coach who prepared his team to go for it all!
