Boston Celtics: The 2008 Champs!!!!!!

Now when the finals started I saw Boston as the underdogs even though they had the best record in the league and they swept the Lakers in the season series. I saw the Celtics as the underdogs because of how much it took them to get through the east and to the finals. The Lakers on the other hand breezed through the west on their way to the NBA finals. After this NBA Finals series I have concluded that the East was the toughest conference this year and that Boston deserved to win this championship. Seeing Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen getting their rings as veterans of the game is a wonderful thing and I'm happy that they won. The better team won in this case. We all saw how the Celtics outplayed, out hustled, shut downed, and in the last game they humiliated the Lakers. I'm not a Lakers hater by any means necessary. Neither am I a Kobe hater. Lakers are a good team and Kobe is a great player.
I'm not sure of the of the ratings for this NBA Finals but it had to be the highest ratings for it in a long time. You had two classic teams of the NBA matching up with each other in such a long time, you had 4 potential hall of famers, you had a team that was the worse team in the NBA last year and you had a team who has been consistent for many years even being a dynasty at one point. If only it would've lived up to the hype that would've made it great. The games were great to watch but I was expecting a seventh game winning shot. You know something epic. This series will be talked about but for how long? I don't know.
I noticed how many people were pulling for the Celtics also. There were some true Lakers fans who stayed true but then there were others who switched sides after a few games. There were also others who hopped on the Celtic Bandwagon when they say they were up against the Lakers and it's some people that hate Kobe so much that they went for the Celtics just because it meant a Kobe lost. I salute the real Celtics fan who stuck with them all year or even throughout the entire playoffs and even the ones who picked them to win the finals when they heard they were in it. I do not salute those who picked the Celtics because they dislike Kobe. I agree he is a jerk, his personality sucks, he's a cheater, and yes he's cocky but he's a great player. Kobe couldn't beat the Celtics by himself and he damn sure didn't lose by himself so everyone need to stop saying that they happy Boston won because they gave it to Kobe. NO! They gave it to the whole damn team so Kobe shouldn't take all of the blame. He should take the most blame out of anyone though because after all it is his team.
Once again Congratulations Boston Celtics 2008 NBA CHAMPIONS!!! YOU'LL DESERVE IT!
