Posted: 13th June 2010 by Tony Santorsa in NBA
One more. That's all that has to be on the minds of the Boston Celtics right now. One more, until title 18.
The Boston Celtics did themselves a huge favor tonight by defeating the Los Angeles Lakers 92-86. In my opinion, they did what they had to do in Boston, they took two out of three and now have two chances to win one game going back to Cali.

Posted: 13th June 2010 by Pat Mixon in NBA
Can we please give all the Lamar Odom being the key to a Lakers’ victory a rest? I mean, really, Lamar is a great player but come on. We’re talking about a guy coming off the bench, even if he basically gets starter minutes over the course of a game.

After attending my first game at the "Gahden" tonight, I was in shock. Never before other than a game at Fenway, have I experienced such emotion and overall passion for a sport.

The Celtics now lead the series 3-2 with the Finals headed back to Los Angeles for Game Six on Tuesday night.
