Congrats, Zen. You called this all the way back in January, when I was still convinced that these guys would fold.
The strangest part of it all for me is that I actually ended up pulling for the Celtics. Before this spring, I always referred to them as the (hated) Boston Celtics. No more. I like these guys.
Even stranger, I especially like Paul Pierce. I had written him off as a spoiled superstar wannabee whose ego would be the great impediment to the Celtics winning another crown. I couldn't have been more wrong. Pierce adapted his game almost perfectly to this team, doing what needed to be done with apparently only one objective in mind - winning. He's now my favorite NBA player.
