Only got 4/5 hours sleep last night, but it was worth it!
There will be a 17th Championship banner raised to rafters of the Garden.
Wow. What a domination of the Lakers last night. Doc Rivers had said earlier in the series that the team had not played four full quarters in any game so far. Well, they did last night.
Defense was amazing. Nineteen turnovers, eighteen of which were steals. Thirty two points scored on turnovers. LA looked shocked.
Offense was solid. Kevin Garnett had a big game, Pierce was unstoppable, and Ray Allen was lights out from the three point line. Even Rondo elevated his game. While Rondo was still a bit uneven shooting, his passing and defensive work were stellar.
The bench was great too, with a strong performances from House.
Let's face it, Doc Rivers out coached Phil Jackson in this series. Jackson looked baffled and was unable to make adjustments when needed. Someone should tell the zen master to check his hand, because Doc has just snatched the pebbles from it.

What a turnaround season for Boston. I had commitments Tuesday night and didn't get to see the game until the 3rd quarter. Imagine my surprise at the score. And I'm soooo glad to be wrong when I commented on your Pre-anticipation post that Pierce would sink a 3 in game 7 overtime to win the series. I'll happily go to bed at a reasonable hour tonight...
After the post game, the obligatory celebration guinness, and then watching sports center I was hurting on Wed AM for my 6:30 hockey game. It was a light turnout and everybody was dragging ass, a fine way to celebrate another Boston team victory.
I do echo Mr. Crow's comment that it will be nice to get to bed at a reasonable time. Between the Stanley cup and the NBA finals, I have been burning the midnight oil.
Go Red Sox
