Hail to the victors: Celtics claim NBA Title

June 18th, 2008 | Posted by PostmanR

Seeing as any good blogger/Internet writer had something up last night on the Finals, this is all old news by now, but hey, hats off to the Celtics. It was rough sledding making it to the final round, but they proved they were better than the listless Lakers when it mattered most. (Seriously, Kobe, all you guys could muster was a 39-point trashing? And have you ever played defense before? Ever?)

As a fan, I was torn before the series started. On the one hand, I’ve always been a KG backer and used to rock his Minnesota jersey in middle school. But Kobe is otherworldly, and he and the Lakers stomped through the West on their way to the Finals. I wouldn’t have minded seeing Kobe and crew take out the Big Three.

But it was not to be. Paul Pierce was the m’fing Truth. Rondo was solid after he couldn’t walk last week. And KG, I don’t know what the hell he was talking about here …

… but it was awesome. And the Gatorade dump on Doc Rivers? MAN LOOK HOW COOL IT IS IN THAT SUPER SLOW MOTION CAMERA.

So yeah: Boston wins another title. Blech.
