"But picking the Game Six MVP..." Rondo, by the way.

I am going to credit those peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches on which KG relies.

What a game. It was absolutely fabulous. It was amazing watching them build up the lead higher and higher. High energy from start until well after finish. And then more while driving through town. Got home about 1:30 but wouldn't have missed a minute. Congratulations to all of the Celts and their fans, but particularly to Paul Pierce, our guy, who was here through the bad times, the really bad times, and now this. And to those fans like you who were with the team through thick and thin. 17 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Lakers looked worse than a YMCA pick up team. I'm not a huge Celtics fan nor did I really care too much for the series but it was great to see Kobe not live up to anything. The comparisons to Michael Jordan end here. That's it. He's not Jordan nor will he ever be. . . Jordan would never let his team play lazy or without a shred of defense. Kobe does not have the competitive leadership qualities that Jordan, Bird, Magic, and even Shaq possess. In my eyes, Kobe's resume took a step back. The Big Cactus is smiling down in the Sun Belt. . . . Congrats to the Celts and KG.
