Honestly, it's been the most competitive, entertaining basketball I've seen in the NBA in a really long time.  I wish my team wasn't involved, so I could appreciate it more for just that (entertaining hoops), but I'm glad the C's are involved because I've watched it all - I would have hated to have missed this.

This series has been more like the intensity you see in NHL Playoffs series on a consistent basis.

Great theatre.

So, I'm enjoying it, and trying to relish it for being a classic series that's still in the present tense.
Yup

I've been sicker than a dog with the flu this whole week and these games have taken a lot out of me.  I am just starting to feel better today and now I am back to coughing non stop since yelling for over 4 hours tonight.  I hate seeing the Celtics lose to a team that isn't as good and a team that is as arrogant as the Bulls.

I feel you on that.  Somehow I'm going to have to do 3 days worth of work and studying tomorrow to make up for the last few days

I thought this series should have been over already, us 4 and them 1.

Game 7, now it all comes down to this.

I really hope we don't get blown out on our home floor like we did a few years back by Indiana.

I said in a post after game 2 that I was just going to sit back and enjoy the series.  I've done that to the extent possible.  Obviously, it's been a bit stressful, but I'm really trying to enjoy this because it's the best playoff series in the history of the NBA (if you don't factor that it's only a first round game played by two teams with very little chance of winning it all).

Overall, I've enjoyed the series, but tonight, my blood pressure is through the roof.  There were so many dumb decisions tonight, and now there's a chance that we're going to lose a playoff series that should be over.
Roy, you're right.  In my mind this wasn't a great game tonight because the Celtics blew it at the end of regulation.

But if Rondo's heave goes in at the buzzer it would have been the greatest game ever huh? Funny how that works. To me the C's have to win for it to be a great game.

Disagree.  A great game is one where both teams play great.  Only Ray Allen played great for the C's, plus there were too many mistakes and an overall inability to run their offense properly as Tommy constantly pointed out.

As a team they can play better than this and hopefully they can do it in Game 7.

Making me wish Game 7 was in 2 weeks - just like the Super Bowl. Words does not do this series justice.

For the first time ever, watching Celtics basketball is giving me chest pains. I guess I am getting too old for this $h!t.
