As you can tell I'm from the great city of Boston, and this smile hasn't left my face since last Tuesday. This week Boston was treated to yet another well deserved championship. Our beloved Boston Celtics won their 17th championship and this city couldn't be happier. I swear everyone is just a lil bit nicer to each other because of it. WE BEAT L.A!!! I mean we REALLY beat LA. All the late nights, being absolutly dead at work the next morning was all worth it because we reached the ulimate goal. I been a c's fan all my life. Been through all the losing, trades, coaches, drama,, everything! And I never once thought i would see this in my life time. I would hear from my dad how great it use to be in the 80s when they were THE team to beat. When the moment finally came, I screamed so much, i lost my voice the next day at work. Again, all worth it. My life was watching these playoffs. My friend called me the day the c's were playing detroit for the first time. She tells me she got two red sox tickets for us. I thought about and i declined. I told her i couldn't miss game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. She thought I was absolutly nuts. And it was a lil crazy. Dont get me wrong I love the Red sox, but for these playoffs I had to bleed green. The playoffs was a bumpy road. Even though it seems like ages ago, we did have to go through 2 game 7's. It definelty brought us down to reality. Could the number 8 team really knock us out?? Thoughts of the last superbowl which i have tried to bury in my sub conscience arose and i know i couldn't go through something like that ever, ever again. But our team had to much heart, drive and dedication to let any of that happen. We beat out our conference and I was estatic. I was so happy for my paul pierce, who i had been a fan of since the day he got drafted. But that wasn't their goal. This team wanted the gold. The national sports media of course picked the lakers. Said we had no bench and Kobe would be to much for us. We are use to this. And we like being the underdogs..its makes winning that much sweeter. After coming back from a 24 point deficeit and winning game 4, I knew we were going to win our 17th title. The Lakers were soft, they just were not on our level. And even though we lost game 5, I just knew that laker team was not beating us in the garden or the "jungle" as KG puts it, two times in a row. Game 6. I was in my usual spot and more amped then i had ever been. I had even more energy when I found out Perk was going to be back and starting. This was it, I just knew it. After the first quarter my dad came in my room and said "I dont have a good feeling about this one Tiff" I thought he was crazy. I said I dont know what you are talking about, at least we are not down by 19 in the first quarter. I just knew it. The way Rondo was playin, amazing. He was a pain in the lakers side. He was stealing every ball, getting rebounds and making shots. And after that 3 point play from KG, i didn just feel it was over.. it WAS over. I loved seeing Pierce throw the gadorade over Doc's head. And KG's post game interview was probably the best I had ever seen. "ANYTHINGS POSSSSSSIBLLLLEEE" it was great. I was so happy for all the players in different ways. Ray Allen for having the courage to play in a game when he knew his son was going through an illness, Kg for coming so close and just never crossing the finish line or as he puts it "beating the bully" and for my pierce who I have loved as a player since his rookie year. He has been through sooooo much here and It was great moment to see him get his ring and finals MVP. These are the moments that i will never forget and will get to pass on to my kids, the way my dad did to me. Doc sumed it up best when he said " I like that next year we can talk about a re-peat instead of re-building" The 2000s has been great for Boston. The Patriots winning 3 superbowls, Red sox winning 2 world seris and now I can add my team to the mix, the Boston Celtics winning their 17th NBA Championship. Like I said, Its GREAT to be from Boston.
