I don't think you're going to get killed for it. My friends and have talked about it a lot throughout these playoffs. Rondo has been simply amazing. I used to hate the guy but I've learned to respect him as a player. The thing I admire most about him is how he never quits and how he always elevates his game come playoff time.


I agree but I think it's important to point out how long it took for them to get on the same page.
It's taken pretty much until this season for it all to come together with Rondo being the keystone. You've got to hand it to Boston for handling that transiton from the Big 3 to the Big 4 with Rondo, to the Big 3 with Rondo, Pierce, and KG.

Part of it is the professionlism of the players, but you're right... They are a very well-coached team.

it'll be nice for the celtics to lose in the finals. according to best franchise in history historians, that would mean the lakers had a better season than the celtics.

Absolutely. And they get even more emotional when it comes to LeBron James.

I'm from Canada too and First Take is one of the reasons I ordered ESPN. It's fast food journalism.

Deron Williams talking about the possibility of the Lakers acquiring him:
http://www.latimes.com/sports/basketbal ... 8938.story
"I know they don't have any money to just go out and sign me. It'll have to be some kind of [trade]," Williams said Wednesday at the E3 Expo, where he promoted the video game "NBA Baller Beats."

Williams, 27, has a player option for $17.8 million next season with New Jersey. He averaged 21 points and 8.8 assists this season.

He was unsure what he thought about the Lakers, who eliminated his Utah teams in the 2008, 2009 and 2010 playoffs.

"I used to hate them. They pushed us out of the playoffs three years in a row," Williams said. "We'll see."

Bosh just about came back at the right time. Those 3s dragged KG out to the perimeter and let Lebron pretty much plunder the interior.
