Well, you Laker fans who predicted wins in 5 or 6 games - eat crow. Tradition continues on, and Red was able to light up the championship cigar once more. I was just waiting for the Celtic spurt in the game. I felt it coming. And it did. Maxwell just played great, the offensive boards belonged to Boston all night. The best team won. Say no more! When all is said and done And you hear the final gun The team that has won Is clearly number 1 THE BOSTON CELTICS Tom O`Connor

The Boston Celtics showed that they wanted the series more than the Lakers did. They outhustled them going after loose balls, and in the end broke the Lakers spirit, taking the fast break completely away from them. I knew all along that the Celtics would win, if they improved the shooting from the guards and moved the ball around a few times before they shot. By doing this, the big men could get set up for the rebounds and naturally get some support by having the guards take up some of the scoring slack. This also kept the Lakers from just grabbing the rebound from a quick shot and take off running, ultimately putting an end to the fast break. And what about the Celtics fast breaks? IN YOUR FACE
