There can only be one game away for the Cetics to win the NBA championship....

Don't worry!! I promise to have your Throwback Thursday video later today. I was unable to put together a complete thought yesterday until about 10pm last night. Why? In response to my awful day on Tuesday, I went against better judgement and went out with some out of town friends to a party at 1oak (look at the pic of the lovely wall)

then drinks at the Mercer Hotel. Somewhere along the night, me and my girlfriend probably had something slipped in our drink. There was no other explanation for my hell that I endured on my body yesterday and me and 2 girlfriends were the only ones in our group who got that sick. The symptoms (that I had never had with a hangover before) included a ringing in my head that lasted the whole day and chills that could not be cured . Seriously, I mean is this what is still going on? Even in our late 20's (not thirty yet bitches) we have to watch out for getting our drinks spiked? Really?! Anyways so that was my day in hell yesterday. So there I was yesterday 2 days of pure funk.....then I sat down with my flat Ginger Ale and crackers (Thanks T) and watched the game. There I was wondering if such a comeback was possible....."of course it is I told myself", they kept flashing shots of Garnett with his head in his hands trying to fathom what was he to do, then they would should Pierce leaned over Allen trying to put together a master plan. Then it was the third quarter. Down by 15 with 3:41 left in the third, Pierce and Allen were bringing in the layups, House knocking down a three, free throws from Allen Brown for a dunk and there it was the Lakers 24 point lead was cut to 2 right before the fourth quarter. Then Powe came out and tied the game with 10:00 left, then it was a back and forth chase for the lead. Then House sinks a corner jumper with 4:07 left to play and gives the Celtics their first lead of the game. That late bucket from Allen right down the middle was so damn sexy. Certain plays in any sort of pro sport can be sexy and that was definetely one of them. Then they came back from the largest first quarter deficit in Finals history to hand the Lakers their first home loss of the playoffs. It was so sweet to watch that comeback. Just to watch themselves pull from within and come back huge and win was a testament to this team. It's no longer about the Garnett, Allen, Pierce trifecta but about the Celtics as a whole. I couldn't be more happy for them. I love it how at the end of the game when Pierce was getting interviewed by Michelle he says "Thank you baby" and she blushes. Ha. Classic. "Inglewood always up to no good". Then as he's walking into the locker room and he's getting all hyped and the ever so classy Lakers fans are telling him to shut up and Piece just yells "Yes sir, I thought I told you, this is how we do it". Come on now, you gotta appreciate the fact that this is a guy who grew up idolizing the Lakers, who's been playing for 9 years and his first time time in the Finals and he stuns the Lakers with a win that will go in the record books. Dream big kids, dream big. Check out the LA times cover story and the video of Pierce seconds after the win and where he calls Michelle "baby".
