So this one's a knee-slapper. The Celtics have been underdogs the whole way, yeah yeah, I know. And rightfully so against Cleveland and maybe so against Orlando, too. They were the underdogs. No one expected this run. But my question is, why? Why didn't anyone expect this? The Celtics continually said that it was about the playoffs. Claimed they could flip a switch come playoff time. And guess what? They did. Fine though. I guess they aren't true favorites because the Lakers still have the outstanding rapist. But +210? That's a money line asking to be killed by Celtics followers. They haven't lost a playoff series KG has played in. They have way more experience and veteran leadership. They play smarter and they play tougher. And they play fucking defense. Defense like no one in the league is used to seeing. Defense that the Lakers haven't seen since when? They just got through the Suns, who actually play negative defense I think. Now they have to flip the switch and take down this stellar defense loaded with veteran heart and soul.
Paul Pierce said he's been having dreams that at the end of the day, he's holding up that trophy. And it's gonna happen at the Garden again. And Kobe's gonna watch it again. Because the Celtics will win game one. And the Celtics will win in 5. I figured the people who picked against them in the past three series may have known better by now. But I guess not, since Vegas still clocks them in at +210. Getting 6 points. Child, please. Remember that we still have this guy.
All going to come down to refs.
