It's been over a week since the Celtics won the NBA championship and I'm still euphoric.
Few people thought they could win it all, but they proved the "experts" all wrong. Now these NBA watchers are saying how great the Celtics' defense was, how tough they were, etc., etc. The same people who gave them grief for underachieving against the Hawks and the Cavaliers. So they can't finish games, huh? So KG can't come through in the clutch, eh? So Ray Allen's lost his jump shot, no? So Paul Pierce doesn't belong among the pantheon of Celtic greats, right?
By winning their seventeenth banner, the Celtics said one collective "screw you" to all these pundits, and proved once again that talent isn't enough to win; it takes heart, too.
