Banner #17 will hang from the rafters before we turn the calendar.
Pierce is the centerpiece of the team. Garnett is the motor driving the machine. Allen is the quiet, steady veteran.
Doc and Ainge deserve major kudos for bringing the team together and moving the pieces into the right places.
I think Kobe was half shut down and half laid down. The Micheal Jordan comparisons are off the table for a while. And Phil Jackson comes down a half a point for not being able to effectively counter anything the Celtics did.
Remember, the Lakers were favored by at least 75% of the national sports media to win the series handily, in 6 or less. Yet the Celtics thoroughly dominated whenever they wanted.
What a run we're on here with our Boston sports teams!
