WE TOLD YOU FIRST

Last night was on of the best Playoffs series I've seen in a very long time. Trying to avoid elimination in Game 6, Chicago lived up to its name and played just like STUBBORN BULLS. Game 6 was so intense, so compelling and so exhausting that the crowd of 23,430 needed a post-victory IV transfusion just to get home from the United Center. I said it once and I will say it again this series has had everything you could possibly think of; FIGHTS, ELBOWS, STITCHES, FLAGRANT FOUL, TECHNICAL FOULS, BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS. Everything you can think of has just about happened in the series.

Now there is even a rumor that the injured Kevin Garnett might attempt a Game 7 return. Boy if this isn't the icing on the cake for one of the best series ever I don't know what is. Ray Allen went off last night and practically put the team on his back. Allen made 18-of-32 shots, nine of them from the Land of Treys, which tied an all-time playoff record. "So far, it's one of the best series I've ever been a part of,'' said Allen. One of the best? I just want someone to show me a video of any other playoff game that can compare? Anyway, the best thing about this series is that there will be a Game 7. The worst thing? There won't be a Game 8.

And last but not least this game will be taking place on the same night as one of the most anticipated fights in a long time Manny Pacquiao & Ricky Hatton. I just hope you have TiVo.. For the fight that is.. LOL

THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE BEST SERIES SO FAR

I'm not sure if you folks have been watching the NBA Playoffs this year. But there is a battle going on right now that has everything basketball has to offer such as; BLOOD, MISSING TEETH, BUSTED LIPS, and STITCHED UP EYES. And this is just on the Chicago Bulls side.. The Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls have given us everything you can ask for. Last night Boston took control of the series with a 3-2 lead over the Chicago. And just for the heck of it, this series has given us three straight games of OVER-TIME action that has only been determined by 2 or 3 point.. WOW!!!!!!



You have to give the bulls credit also because they are giving the defending Champs all they can handle. Granted the Celtics have a lot of injuries that make me say how are they still winning. And for the life of me I can't understand why you would not Double Paul Pierce with only seconds to go in the game. The man has killed them twice in this series. Ray "Jesus Shuttlesworth" Allen has been up and down but has given the Celtics a spark in the forth quarter of each game to set the tone. Derrick Rose has been playing like the Rookie of the Year without question and with the help of Joakim Noah, Tyson Thomas, Brad Miller and Ben Gordon, hell Boston barely has it's head above water.

I'll just say that game 6 is a must see Thursday on TNT..

GAME 5 WHO WILL STAY ALIVE

Game 5's don't have the win-or-go-home luster of a Game 7, but make no mistake about it, they're nearly just as important.

Winning a Game 5 gives a team complete control as well as two opportunities to clinch the given series. The Celtics found that out more than anyone last season, having won three of their four Game 5's (all at home) during their championship run.

When the ball goes up at 7 p.m. tonight in the TD Banknorth Garden, Celtics fans will be hoping that trend carries over to this season's playoff run and helps Boston grab a 3-2 series lead over the Chicago Bulls

Check it out on TNT..

WAS SATURDAY LUCK

If you didn't see the Bulls -vs- Celtics on Saturday you miss a good one. The point guards put on a show that you surely won't forget. "Shocked" is a good word to describe the feeling around Boston after Saturday afternoon's Game 1 loss in overtime to the Chicago Bulls. The defending champion Boston Celtics were supposed to take Game 1 in a wash, but that was far from the case.

The rookie, in his first Playoffs game, torched the Celtics for 36 points, 11 assists and four boards as the young Bulls ran past the defending champs 105-103 in overtime in Game 1 of a first-round series.

After watching what Rose did to the Celtics -- which was pretty much whatever he wanted -- it seems silly that there was even a debate last June as to who would go No. 1 overall in the NBA Draft, Rose or Michael Beasley. That's no knock on Beasley. But nofew rookies have had the kind of season Rose has had, and only one has had the kind of postseason debut Rose did.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wow this one may take a turn for the worst. Ouch Ouch. Not my Celtics.

In my Florida Evans voice "DAMN... DAMN.. DAMN"
