celtics championship runSimply amazing and this is why I love sports because you never know what will happen. It doesn’t happen too often but it does happen. Well, the Boston Celtics completed the greatest and biggest comeback in NBA Finals history last night when they were down as much as 24 points to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers 97-91.

I’m sure a lot of you guys watching the game was shocked; Celtics fan simply disappointed and Lakers fan getting cocky as they kept building the lead. I’m not going to lie, I had my head down a little bit but I continued to watch the entire game.

One of my friends told me he couldn’t take it and had to step away from the television for the second and third quarter until someone told him they were only down by 10.

Yes, things definitely got interesting in the fourth quarter as Lakers fan probably got as quiet as a mime trying to hide. I’m sure Bloggernoob was thinking the Lakers were going to win. :P

(Bloggernoob and I have a bet going… he’s cheering for the Lakers, and obviously you know who I’m going for - the next champions!)

paul pierce, ray allen and celtics biggest comeback in nba finalsPaul Pierce (the games MVP), Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen all had great games but I think it was the bench players that definitely pushed the comeback. You definitely have to give credit to James Posey and Eddie House especially going down the stretch. I mean, Eddie House made the basket that gave the Celtics the lead for the first time in the game in the fourth quarter.

So, what happened to the Lakers offense? Well, I think they got a little too comfortable with the lead that they didn’t go back to what kept the up by so many points. I mean, Lamar Odom was 7-7 in the field in the first half. He finished 8-11… so he only took 4 total shots in the second half? They should have given the ball to him more often.

Well, what’s done is done, it’s not officially over because we all know the Lakers are a good team and last night just shows anything can happen. But the Celtics just need to win one last game within three chances and they will not only be the team that completed the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history, but they will have added to the total (and most) championships by any team in the NBA.

Come on Celtics! One more game…
