I wanted a Pistons-Lakers Finals so bad so I could hope being in the arena for at least one game, but hey I guess we're heading to Boston. Boston is back in the NBA Finals after 20 years, the two teams have met 10 times and Boston got away with 8 wins. It's a historical Finals with all the trophies both teams share together. The rivalry is about to be rekindled. Boston have won both meetings in the regular season but that was before the Pau Gasol trade so obviously we are a different team, you can't base your predictions on that.
Back to last night game, Detroit did the best they could to match Boston offense and defense unfortunately the Celtics were the better team on the floor. Pierce led the Big Three with 27 points, you never know which one of them will come out swinging, last time it was Ray and now Pierce, he seems to come out strong in close-out games (he scored 41 points against Cleveland on game 7). Billups' 29 points were not enough to force a game 7, Detroit blew out a 10 point lead in the 4Th quarter and they never got it back.
Bring it on Boston, you are about to be the last victim of the "Black Mamba".
