Game 1: A solid start to the series. KG came to dominate and the Celtics took care of business at home. Do these game have to start so late though? On average they ended past midnight. I get the reasoning is because of the bicoastal audience but can the NBA at least admit that they want to make as much money possible off this so called rivalry?

Game 2: The Celtics played a great three quarters. What will probably be remembered most about this game is the almost collapse of the Celtics in the fourth quarter. Leon Powe was the man and had several great dunks that demoralized the inside players of the Lakers. All that matters was that the Celtics took care of business on their home court.

Game 3: I completely expected Los Angeles to win this game on their home court. Sure, the Celtics had their chances but I think the felt resigned to let the Lakers take this one. Good to see that the NBA is trying to hide that whole referee scandal with blatant favoritism for the Purple and Gold.

Game 4: The Comeback. One of the greatest games in NBA history. An instant classic. Did the Celtics claw back from 24 down or did the Lakers choke away an easy win? I think it's a combination of both. Even when the Lakers went up big in the first half, I still thought that the C's had a reasonable chance to get back in the game. My theory is that in the NBA it is better for a team to play a solid game and lead by 8-10 point the entire game then to go up by 20+ in quick spurts then inevitable fall off and let the opponent back in the game. The Lakers got lazy, took their foot off the gas and became complacent. The Celtics put their small lineup in the game and made shots, peaking at the right time and stealing a game on the road.

Game 5: There was no way the Celtics were winning this game. The NBA made their secret pact and the refs made sure that the Lakers would force a game six back in Boston. Again, the Celtics had their chances but KG missed two crucial free throws and the no call on Kobe's steal/dunk combo in the final two minutes sealed the game. The Lakers just delayed the inevitable.

Game 6: An absolute blowout. Kobe came out hot from beyond the arch but after the first quarter the Lakers packed it in and scheduled their tee times for the next week. Ray Allen was huge from distance and was the most consistent Celtic throughout the Finals. Paul Pierce won the MVP, more for his entire playoff resume than his series performance and KG, while having a monster game in the post, will be most remembered for his post game interview in which he proclaimed that "Anything is possible" and that by winning a championship, he is now "certified." Check it out below.

Overall, there was no question who the better team during this series. The Celtics we're bigger, faster, stronger and has the most tenacious defense that Kobe Bryant had ever seen. And as numerous others have said, the whole Kobe vs. MJ discussion is officially OVER. MJ would never have allowed his team to be blown out in a series clinching game and MJ would have found ways to impose his scoring will upon his opponent regardless of the stellar defense. Kobe is now just Kobe; a fierce competitor who is a horrible teammate and an even worse person off the court. Last side note, but I was shocked that they didn't try to cash in on the whole nostalgic 80's rivalry sentiment and bust our the throwback jerseys for both teams. Just seems like a missed opportunity.

The Celtics dominated and a Championship was never in doubt despite losing two games. It's hard to see the expectations get any higher for this team but the Garden rafters are the limit. Congrats to Boston, I can now hop off the bandwagon until next year.
