So, how come I got more of a rise out of spotting all of the celebrities in the stands such as Eddie Murphy, Jack Nicholson, Denzel Washington and Spike Lee than from the actual game? It just annoyed me how everything was so ‘Hollywood’ last night…from Kobe’s dramatics to the red carpet draped in front of the Staples Center - guess we truly are in la la land.

Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett had 17 points combined - really. Rajon Rondo went down with a sprained ankle in the third quarter. Seems like the only player on our team who showed up last night was Ray Allen with 25 points and five were three-point shots. Go Ray! For the Lakers, it was just anothe episode in the Kobe Bryant Show. Alright so he's a good player, but I don’t think he’s good enough to win this series for the Lakers. The Celtics are way more dominant this year and we'll come hard in game 4. I mean, it wouldn't be worth watching if it was a sweep!

Game 4 is this Thursday night at 9 PM EST on ABC

The Green is back! Celtics Return to the NBA Finals!

It is time to pull out the throw back Larry Bird and Bill Russell jerseys because we’re going to the NBA FINALS!

Friday night’s 89-81 win marked a historic achievement for the Celtics as they took Game 6 and closed out a hard fought series against the Detroit Pistons.

So, this is how Game 6 went down…Paul Pierce had an impressive 27 points, 12 of which came during an explosive fourth quarter after bringing the Celtics back from a 10-point deficit. Other stand out players in the game included Ray Allen with a cool 17 points and Kevin Garnett with 16 points.

This trip to the Finals will be a first for Paul Pierce who has spent his entire career as a Boston Celtic. This will also be Kevin Garnett’s first appearance in a NBA Finals game after spending 13 years in the league. So, the luck of the Green is back in Boston. And just when you didn’t think it could get any better than this, we will be facing the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals. Boston and LA are two of the most storied teams in NBA franchise history. This match up is going to be craaaazy!

*Fab! Sports Fact: Boston holds 16 NBA titles, more than any other team in the NBA. The Lakers have won 14 titles. Boston and LA have met in the Finals 10 times. The last time we made it to the NBA Finals back in ’87, we played against the Lakers. The Boston/LA rivalry has been dormant for more than two decades, but has been quickly resurrected as“Beat L.A., Beat L.A!” was shouted from the locker room on Friday night. The NBA is exciting once again!

The 2008 NBA Finals begin on Thursday, June 5th in Boston.
