No matter what happens tonight, you will have stories for the grandkids about where you were for game 7 of the greatest first round series in NBA history. Good luck to the Cs and congrats on your success in the blogosphere (yeah, I was looking for updates on your old blog until this past week. Oh well...) Well, Mr Lowe.

That's probably why I always check out this blog before the other Celtics blogs. Keep up the good work fellas. Until Game 7 (two greatest words in sports) I will be walking around in a tizzy. It's a good thing there's only one work day thrown in there. My questions after that game. Why didn't Rondo attack the rim? It looked to me that it was more of the fact that he just didn't do it; not that the Bulls stopped him from doing it. With KG out Rondo has to put up more than 8 points when a game goes into 3OT. The 19 assists is amazing though. Side note: Rondo needs to be more controlled & mature in situations like the scuffle with Hinrich. While the fault certainly doesn't fall entirely on either of their shoulders, Rondo started for a NBA Finals Championship team. He needs to learn to keep his head when emotions run high. Moving on, near the end when Pierce was unable to get his shot to drop, why didn't the Celtics do whatever necessary to get Ray a shot? He dropped 40+ in regulation. I don't accept the excuse that his legs were tired. On the play where Rose rejected Rondo, Ray was right behind the arc, right behind Rondo (who didn't see him) and Ray had an open shot.
