devastated.

this one hurts really bad, for some reason. for several reasons, i guess.

staying away from any nba news, websites, etc. not answering my phone, off work right now, thank goodness. probably watch "the wire" on dvd all weekend and keep a pot of coffee going.

it's one thing to lose 'cause the other team is better, or you get out-coached, or you give the game away due to your own careless mistakes or mental lapses, but to have the league and its officials blatantly take the win away in the 4th quarter (21-6 ft disparity) after you have led the entire game is unacceptable - i'm having a real hard time dealing with that.

It'd hard...

I couldn't sleep last night i was to upset...

When i finally got to bed i overslept because i forgot to set a alarm. When i finally woke up i wen't too the gym to clear my mind for 2/3 hours. When i got home i dressed and eat 1 thing because i couldn't eat all day. Then i wen't to a party with the mindset to drink my feeling away. But after 1 glass i stopt because i could not get my head clear. And now i'm going too bed and tomorrow i will hit the gym again and watch some soccor.

I'm just spent. I'm not angry or anything like that.  I'm actually proud as heck of the effort these guys put out and am proud to call my self a Celtics fan

What's so disappointing is that it's so hard to win a title in David Stern's NBA that to come so close and not quite seal the deal is just sad.

Maybe the Celtics finally paid the price for tanking the regular season.  I honestly feel that if Game 7 takes place in Boston, the C's win.  And actually if you replay the game chances are whoever lost last night's game would win the 2nd go round.  These teams were that close.

I'll watch the draft and then be happy to forget about basketball for awhile.  Though I will follow the off season. 

I think it's going to be awhile before this team is in a position to win another title, but we've got good management so hopefully it won't be too long.  Overall I think you need to label the Big 3 era a success.

Some didn't have us making it out of the 1st round.

It was too bad how poorly we played this regular season.

We never really got the value, or the "pay off" from these playoffs.

Back in 08, the regular season journey was so grand. Each game was like an event.

In 2010 the regular season was "hit or miss". We'd win one, lose one, or win 3 and lose 3....each game was not an "event" anymore, it was more of a Jekyll/Hyde sort of thing.

In some ways the 2009 team that lost to Orlando in 7 hurt more to me.

That, and I'm focusing on the rumours around the league about any and everything. Focusing on other blogs, other stories, other things.

Mainly, I'm just ignoring this ever happened.

I hurts. I hurts thinking about how the team must feel. It hurts thinking about how I feel. And it hurts knowing that LA fans and players are happy.

I just tell myself that Boston still owns LA still when it comes to all time victory's. And we've still got one more banner.

Only think that will help is time and beer. And I'm working on the beer part right now.

The worst thing is those [dang] Faker ballwashers and bandwagoners that couldn't name 10 players in the NBA outside of the Lakers.  These were the same types of people that supporter the Spurs, and the Bulls, etc.

Empty, lonely sadness. My friends are treating it as if some one close to me died.  "Sorry for the loss" type of thing.

I had to put all the giveaways from the game in a box.  I could NOT watch any Lakers celebrating/interview crap.

I keep thinking that 1 team had to win and 1 team had to lose. That is just how it is.  This is worse than Magic's skyhook in 1987. That one hurt too.

What to learn? You have to make your lucky breaks in life just like in basketball.

I'm coping by looking ahead, knowing there is more to come. Celtics basketball, all the players - are more than just a game to me. I didn't start watching basketball till 4 years ago when I lost my son and the Celtics have helped to keep me sane and given me a joy I can't describe. Loving the players does not replace what I have lost, but it is something and it means a great deal to me. Especially Big Baby, because he looks and acts so much like my son. When I watch BBD, it is as though my son is still here and I can watch him grow and change over the years. Maybe it's unhealthy, but I don't care.
Well, it felt good to release that. Thanks to everyone here too for keeping me company.

Mmbaby I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad to hear the Celtics give you something to make your life a little brighter. Also very happy Big Baby was re-signed and you got to watch him have another impressive playoff performance. Here's hoping for lots more for you to enjoy. TP and have a great night.

I'm sorry if I don't sympathize. I'm so happy that you all finally feel as bad as we did in 2008. Thats the beauty of a rivalry.

You don't have to sympathize, congrats for the title. It's been handed to you like the Minneapolis 4 titles. No effort, no pride.

You can't figure out how the celtic fans feel today, because your team was mollywhoped in 2008. 39 points, and could have been more. Last night you needed the refs bias that has gone through the whole series, and a real injury from our starting Center. You can't talk about Bynum been injured, because that's how he is going to be like forever. I'm sad about Bynum, he seems like a good boy and classier than the rest of the Laker organization.

The Celtics fought for the win, they just couldn't overcome so much adversity. Artest was clutch and Fisher was also, as always. Kobe didn't deserve the MVP, it was Pau Gasol who made the job. And I still can't believe the faker nation booed the best player in game's history, Bill Russell. He probably liked it a lot, as he is really a winner and a faker killer.

You can't figure out how it feels, because you always got the calls, remember the Kings in that WCF? You also don't know what it means to loose your best player with a knee injury in 2009 that still hasn't healed completely.

We also can't figure out how you felt back in 2008, because the Celtics never surrender, they fight until the end. Have a nice day, and enjoy your championship, you really earned it.

By the way, I hope next year Celtics and Lakers can play again in the Finals. Good luck next year, I don't wish you what we've been through, just a fair chance for both teams.
