I wrote the words “wow” and “unbelievable” about 50 times each in the live-blog, but really what else is there to say? The Celtics pulled off one of the biggest comebacks that I’ve ever seen and arguably one of the biggest in Finals history. They were down 21 at the end of the first, down 18 at the half, 20 in the third and the largest lead was 24…..on the road!
Here’s the clip show….
Ray Allen just played out of his mind at the end of that game and looked like a teenager. James Posey hit one of the biggest shots of the season. Eddie House who played terrible at times, had some key rebounds and a three. And most importantly the Celtics overcame the largest halftime deficit in Finals history since the inception of the shot clock and just completely shocked the NBA World.
With all of that said, there was still a ticky-tack call on that Pierce drive and Steve Javie was at the center of it all. I told you that he is a road team ref earlier in the day, and no matter what combination the NBA puts out there at this point, there always seems to be a controversy.
That’s not to take anything away from the Celtics who are now one step away from the NBA Championship. Oh and again….unbelievable and wow.
