This is the time I've been waiting for. Winning at home is such a sweet thing. The spirit of the Celtics Nation is really soaring. Boston Celtics embarrassed the LA Lakers in Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals winning 131-92. This is the biggest margin in the NBA finals history. The magic of Kobe Bryant who is tagged as the best player in the planet did not work this time. The Celtics defense was so tight and precise, the team work of the big-3 of the new generation -Pierce, Garnett and Allen was so unstoppable and the over-all teamwork was really perfect. This is the 17th title of the Celtics won on the 17th of June, what is more perfect than that?
Coach Doc Rivers was very superstitious about not touching the trophy before being even declared the champions, he wanted it to be handed to him as the real champions and so it was. Paul Pierce won the MVP award for his most distinguished performance in the championship series. This win is really about selflessness, team effort and defense. The players didn't outshine each other but worked for the team to really return to glory. The whole of the Celtics nation is rejoicing on this 17th title after 22 long years. We definitely have returned to Glory. Congratulations to Boston Celtics for being the 2008 NBA champions!
