congrats on the series win! Although I wish the game was more competitive rather than filled by sloppy play from both teams, you guys deserved the win tonight by outplaying the Bulls. Good luck against the Magic and watch out for them elbows !!!!! :evil:

RAWR!!! I'm not going to lie tho it felt good to see Rondo take some hard fouls that probably shoulda been flagrant. takes the edge off of that whole situation over the past few games

I have to comment on this also: The celtics won this series, and showed excellent class as they won. They looked happy, but they did not disrespect the Bulls. They gave us credit for playing good and won with class. Really helps the celtics image

I was hating on the Celtics and rooting for Chicago, but I have absolutely no problem seeing the better team win.

I think Boston with beat Orlando in 6.

A lot of people want to see a rematch next year, but let's be real, the Bulls would have been swept with a healthy C's team.

So if there is a rematch, it won't be close.

Let me say a few things about the Bulls, some good and some not so good, but try not to get offended, I'm only being honest here.......

the good:

-Ben Gordon is just scary when he's on, I can't count how many times he drained shots with a hand right up in his grill in this series. After the first quarter tonight, I thought he was going for 45, thank god we made somewhat of an effort to contain him and he cooled off a little bit, even tho i knew he wasn't going to miss from the line. That dude is ice cold.

-Rose is going to be sooooo good in a couple years. On more than one occasion I couldn't help but thinking, thank god this kid is just a rookie and doesn't have it all figured out yet. He's got the total package, he's just got to finetune his defense and selective passiveness on O. Besides that, there isn't much he can't do as a PG. He'll be up in the CP3/Deron Williams elite class in terms of total package within the next three years, not a doubt in my mind. He might even end up a little better than both.

-John Salmons showed alot of people that he is for real, despite coming up short in game 7. Dude can ball, and this isn't the last we'll see of him making an impact in the playoffs in the future.


Noah- I like this kid alot, for a big he's incredibly active and dare I say, pretty smart as well. He'll never be an offensive weapon but his d is invaluable to any serious club and he works the glass very well too. *Only thing, he really shouldn't have run laps after game 6 and acted like he just won a ring. I have no doubt he learned his lesson tonight as to why premature displays of bravado come back to bite you in the @**. Better luck next year, kid.

Hinrich- I always knew this kid could ball. He fell off last year, I don't know why, but he's a true competitor and I have mad respect for him as a ballplayer.

the not-so-good:

-Aaron Gray. Really?? Sit down and shut up, you pull a grand total of 10 minutes with no points, 1 board and 1 turnover on the hardwood and you're gonna pose all game, every game like you're something special? And people have the nerve to talk about KG running his mouth? At least he's accomplished, he's been there and done it before. Who the f is Aaron Gray? Kid's talkin smack after every single shot. Shut up, go home, and hope you don't get released, bum a#$$.

--Brad Miller played like a total punk, taking blatant cheapshots at both Perk and Ray in this game, not to mention the other six games. He's one of those guys that I would VERY reluctantly root for if he were a Celtic, but I can't look past his sackless play in this series. Rondo's little lovetap was way too kind. A career ending injury is nothing short of what he deserves in the near future, and no, that's not a bit harsh based on the way he conducts himself. He goes out there trying to hurt people. Tough physical play with a purpose is all good, but he wanted none of that. I have no respect for him and his cowardly actions throughout this series, and it WILL come back around. And yeah, I'll give him the appropriate credit. Besides the punk plays he did a good enough job knocking down shots and playing to the refs to get his whistles. He helped his team but there is no place for some of the crap he pulled.
