    Game 7 boys! Such a good series, 4 OTs in 6 games.

    Gordon's on fire right now.

    Quite a bit I'd say - they are getting old.

    I wish BG didn't miss as much, and Eddie House was dead.
    Ugh.

    The only Celts that are old are Pierce, Allen and House. I don't count Marbury :)

    Epic series, especially that game 6 :O
    Too bad Game 7 wasn't as exciting :|

    I think Game 7 was still very exciting. The entire series was on physical beat down by both teams. I haven't seen a series played like that in a long time. With that said, sadly I do think my Celts are so exhausted. They were making stupid mistakes near the end of the game and you could tell Rondo was too tired to even make a proper free throw. It will be interesting to see the Magic series. It all depends on if they are sinking their 3's or not. And also if Dwight Howard decides he wants to elbow any more people...

    Regardless of who had won (Bulls/Celts), the Magic will win the upcoming series. Right now, the Celtics are so beat down from the 7-game series that fatigue, especially with their short bench, will be a major issue vs. the Magic

    Still. An exciting series. There was no way game 7 would have lived up to the hype unless it went to quadruple OT or something.

    Yeah. But I still hoped it would be amazing.

    Once again, maybe if Ben Gordon didn't go 4/17 after his 3/3.
    Rondo thinks he's the man now, and it irritates me.

    Rondo was averaging a triple double before that game. He was argubaly the best player in all of the playoffs for the first round :)

    Rondo also whacked Brad Miller in the mouth and threw Kirk Heinrich into the scorer's table. Just throwing that out there

    Wrong. He should've been suspended. He dragged Hinrich 10 feet and then threw him onto the scroer's table.
    But the Celtics are Stern's babies, so no action gets taken. If it were Rose doing that to Rondo, he'd be done.

    I disagree. Stern would not suspend Rose because hes been playing so well. Also, I disagree that the Celtics are Stern's babies. We all know the Fakers are Stern's babies :lol:

    Stern is just looking for a way to generate more revenue. Suspending Rondo wouldn't have helped in terms of generating hype, etc.
    On the other hand, it is hard to deny that Rondo plays with... a lot of enthusiasm.

    What about when he got touched by Noah and then lay on the ground for a minute?

    Rondo should be an actor.

    Flopping isn't new in the NBA (Manu anyone?). It's just another way to draw a foul
