It’s final. The Celtics won 131-92 and closed out the Series at Game 6. At home, where they are now 13-1! And their flight to Boston was delayed due to engine troubles…

Well, they have no problems getting to work in Game 6. By the half, they are in full control of the game. They played suffocating defense.

Didn’t they said that Defense Win Championships?! They held the Lakers to 42.2% FG percentage… When they do that to the opposition, the Celtics are hard to beat.

It is true for this Celtics team in every truth of the word. Their defense fuel their offense. It was great to see Rondo active all game long. He was stealing balls from the opposition; include one from Kobe! And he was breaking down the Lakers’ defense with his speed in driving to the hoops.

Then the Big 3 were huge… Paul Pierce was named MVP of the Finals. He really deserve the honor; even though he only scored 17 points. But he had 10 assists and couple of steals. He was the constant in the Celtics going back last few years. And he way that he carried the team in the prior Finals games, he earned that honor.

This is to be a game to remember. After Game 4 & 5 poor showings by both teams, the media was calling this Series one of the worst Finals – there were no competitiveness from either team.

Then in Game 6, the Celtics turned to what they do best – defense. And it was nice for Ray Allen to tie the most 3-pointers in the NBA Finals.

James Posey was huge. He played team defense and he played individual defense. Did you see how he forced Kobe to off balance shots? Ever wonder why the Lakers scored so few points? The answer is James Poey. Of course, Paul Pierce has taken a role in holding Kobe in check the last few games.

KG was emotional! He cried, in national TV no less. He’s still in disbelieve. You really can’t blame him. After having spent most of his career and not gotten past the second round, and to come here and help make history… You would understand why he acted the way he did. And now he will get a ring – he will not need to take one from Bill Russell!

So finally after 22 years, since 1986, the 17th banner will be raised in Boston. I can’t wait for next season to start, it will be fun to try another run.

It’s true. The Boston Celtics made some mental mistakes in the closing quarter of Game 5 of the 2008 NBA Finals. They loss 103-98. The Series, at 3-2, now go back to Boston; which both Game 6 and 7 are to be played.

Desprite getting 38 points from Paul Pierce, the Celtics now look to close the Series at home. Home sweat home. It is here that the Celtics have played their hearts out, where there defensive intensity is unmatched, and where they have been near perfect. I had a feeling that they wanted to finish playing at home; there will be home court advantage, there will crazy supportive fans…

Don’t get me wrong, I love the Celtics to win the title at home. However, I do still wished that they finish the Series in Game 5. There are just too many personels with little injuries here and there. Maybe some home cooking is what the doctor calls for.

Well… See you all in Game 6, to be played on Tuesday at 9PM EDT.
