Season's End

Tonight marks Game 7 of the NBA Finals series. This couldn't have gone any better as far as the ratings go. The NBA has the two biggest rivals in the NBA playing in a huge Game 7 to decide the championship tonight.

The Celtics will be without Kendrick Perkins, who if nothing else, is a big body in the middle to help clog lanes. They'll have to rely a lot on Glen Davis and Rasheed Wallace at the five spot.

They'll also have to hope Ray Allen catches fire and Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett continue their great play.

The Lakers are coming off a dominant win, but as we saw from game one to game two, that doesn't mean too much in the NBA Finals. This will mark an unprecedented 18th championship for the Boston Celtics if they win, and a 15th for the Lakers.

The game starts at 9 EST on ABC.

  1. What do you attribute the lose to? Better coaching? Better depth? Better "stars"? or Youth??

  2. I attribute the loss to Ray Allen shooting them out of the game. He was ice cold most of the game and refused to not shoot. Also some of the officiating toward the end was pretty sketchy.
