Yessssss!!!!!!!! The Celtics are back in the NBA Finals after a 21 year drought and they’ll be in a dream match-up with the league’s MVP Kobe Bryant and his magnificent Los Angeles Lakers. I’m so fucking excited that my heart is just racing like crazy and I can’t help but grin from ear to ear.
To close out Detroit in Auburn Hills tonight in Game 6 was thrilling and I’m so proud of my boys for coming through with their 2nd road win this series. The best part is that it seems we’re getting big games from different people every night. Pierce and Allen came through tonight and so did did role players like James Posey who had a brilliant 4th quarter defensively. The three straight missed free throws definitely made my heart miss a few beats, but the bottom line is that they scored enough points and made enough shots to win.
I’m scared shitless of the Finals match-up with the Lakers and thoroughly believe we’re the underdogs, but, hell, that’s why they play the games. All it takes is another four more wins. It should be an amazing series and I would be beyond thrilled if the boys in green can pull this one out. Go Celtics!!!

I know the Lakers have had some good years recently but I haven’t been this psyched for the Finals since the Magic/Bird years. With Kobe and Shaq it always seemed inevitable but with this squad it’s been a struggle. Next year with Bynum back it should be a cakewalk but this series has me a little nervous. I’m actually more worried about Perkins than the big three. We just don’t have that muscle inside. We’ve got length and speed but no muscle. Man I love the NBA!

I’m equally scared, but because of Kobe. I figure both teams are somewhat equal, but the Lakers have the biggest Star with Bryant. Best of luck to you
