131 Celtics, 92 Lakers


O.K. I just woke up, I was watching Celtics highlights the whole night. I was terrified before the game and expected Kobe to go off and it to be a close game, however, I did not expect a 39 point victory. The Celtics were phenomenal on both ends of the court and really made the Lakers look like the bad team they are. Everyone on the team did well, everyone from Paul Pierce to Big Baby. I still will be celebrating for weeks to come.

First we will start with Ray Allen
Not only did he come into this game with no sleep, he had a sick son to worry about. So what did Ray Ray do? He set a championship record of 7 3 pointers and 26 points, while getting poked in the eye, early second quarter. I have never been more impressed with someone as I have been with Ray Allen and his defense. I don't know who a guy who played little defense until this year was able to do a great job on Kobe Bryant for an entire season.

Kevin Garnett
This guy changed the whole attitude for the Celtics, he along with Tom Thibideau made this team a very tough defensive orientated team. Kevin was doing a mediocre job these finals, and a terrible game 5, but last night he brought this team to a new level, he scored 26 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists for his final game in this championship. To quote Kevin Garnett "EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!"


Paul Pierce
Paul Pierce has made it a long way. He went from being a selfish, offensive orientated teammate, even I wanted to trade him for Kareem Rush and a draft pick, to a premier player who outshined Kobe Bryant in the finals, and won the finals MVP. Pierce started this series by being carried off the court to cementing his career as a hall of famer, and one day his number will be raised in the rafters. Pierce finished the game with 17 points and 10 assists, and his guts this finals were amazing.

Rajon Rondo
Everybody and their mother was ready to throw this guy away and wanted to start Eddie House. (yea I am talking to you Barstool) but this guy just bitch slapped all of you, he finished with 21 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, and 6 steals. He was asked to be more aggressive and that is exactly what he did, he shot it 20 times and made defenders pay attention to him. He felt people calling for Eddie House who did great, but he silenced all his critics.

James Posey
What more can I say about this guy. He is a big reason the Celtics won, he is by far the coolest guy on the Celtics (total mancrush), but best defensive player, and can hit some clutch shots if need be. Posey these play-offs has had to guard Joe Johnson/ Josh Smith, Lebron James, Rasheed Wallace/ Rip Hamilton and Kobe Bryant/ Lamar Odom. That is why I give him the nick name MVPosey.

Doc Rivers
This guy deserves every bit of credit as anyone. He went from a 24 win team to a 66 win team who just won the championships. He badly out-coached Phil Jackson all series and was the guy who kept the team believing they were a better team and can win. There were Fire Doc chants last year, I say lock this guy up for 4 more years.

Congrats Celtics

We are going for 18 next year
