CELTICS WIN 17th TITLE

KG CELEBRATES BY PERFORMING FELLATIO ON THE CENTERCOURT LEPRECHAUN AND THEN SCREAMING LIKE A MADMAN- WE WOULDN'T WANT IT ANY OTHER WAY






A year ago today, we were racking our brains trying to figure out how the Celtics could possibly turn the #5 pick, not Oden or Durant, into a player on a viable playoff contender while Pierce was still under contract. We were just hoping the Celtics would return to the playoffs in 2-3 years! It was an impossible task, we all should have known that, and Pierce kept on bitching about getting some veteran help. We all thought he was self-centered and short-sighted. Well, perhaps Pierce deserves executive of the year because he got veterans and he won an NBA Finals MVP trophy. Kudos to Danny Ainge for putting this fine team together, from KG to Scalabrine. And, thanks to Doc's "pick a name out of a hat" substitution strategy, every active player had a significant moment in the playoff run. That's nice. Doc also deserves a ton of credit for making Phil Jackson look like he awoke from 15-year-coma, huffed glue several hours, bought a clipboard, and decided to coach the Los Angeles Lakers. Doc led the Celtics to victory in this one, and nobody, including me, will ever be able to take that away from him. People that relentlessly criticized Doc over the last few years, myself very much included, look like idiots now. Most NBA peeps put Phil Jackson and Red Auerbach on the same level, and Doc just dominated Phil in a one-on-one coaching matchup. Improbable, at best, but also very impressive and worthy of extensive praise.

This team goes down as one of the best in Celtics history, no doubt about that and I will not argue about it either. They had the best record in the league for the regular season, they defeated the defending Eastern Conference champs with the best player in the NBA playing his best (Lebron, obviously), they dealt the death blow to the Detroit Pistons "dynasty" (after half of the team is traded this offseason), and then beat the best team in the supposedly superior Western Conference with the reigning league MVP. Sure, they struggled in the playoffs, but they took the best teams in the NBA on head to head and they emerged victorious. The exclamation point was biggest blowout in NBA Finals history over a team that was favored to win the series, with, as I mentioned the reigning league MVP and a Hall of Fame coach.

So, congrats to the Boston Celtics. I think it's fair to say that they could play the "Nobody believed in us except ourselves!" card as they celebrate tonight because although most of us believed at some point or another, I don't think there is anyone out there that believed in the Celtics the whole season. There were many times when we thought that the Celtics would be a good team, but would come up a little short. Nope! I'm a dumbass, but a very, very happy dumbass.

Now, how about a three-peat!?!?Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2008/06/celtics-win-17th-title.html
