This series between the Celtics and the Sixers has been a good one to watch between both sides. The Sixers became a surprise team indeed proving that they deserved to be on the same court as the Celtics. That "same court" last night, however, was in Boston for a decisive game 7 to see who gets eliminated by the Heat. The Celtics were in front basically the whole way with the Sixers trying to mount comebacks and getting close at times. The final minutes came and they still didn't get any closer. Rajon Rondo made sure of that what with Pierce fouling out. The Celtics would win this one with quite a cushion, 85-75. They now go on to face the Heat in the Conference Finals.
A nice night for the Celtics but I'm sure they would've liked to have wrapped this series up a while ago and get some rest. Instead, they have to high tail it to Miami for a Monday Night game 1. Uh, and you would think going to Florida for old folks would be a welcoming thing. The big question for this series is when is Chris Bosh going to return. While they ended up dismantling the Pacers after a wake up call, I'm not sure they can get away with it again with the Celtics. They will need Bosh for this series.
The conference finals are here and we have the Spurs v. the Thunder in the West and the Celtics v. the Heat in the East. So hoping for a Thunder-Heat match up. I might actually try to sit through game 1 of the Finals that way.
