“It’s kind of surreal,” Garnett said. “Probably hasn’t even hit me yet because we haven’t slept in about four days, going on five days now. Going to the Finals, I’m just hoping to get some sleep.” Read the rest of this entry »

The Boston Celtics beat the Detroit Pistons 106-102 Wednesday night and now lead the Eastern Conference finals 3-2.

“We knew the significance of this game,” said Garnett, Who scores 33 points in the win “You don’t win this game, you put basically yourself in a corner. … They’re experienced, and they’ve been in a lot of pressure situations. Now it’s up to us to go up there and try to get one.”

This has been a competitive back and forth series so far and I’m sure the Pistons will force a game 7 by beating Boston on Friday.

The Detroit Pistons have beat the Boston Celtics 103 – 97 in the Eastern Conference finals tying the series at 1-1. Now the Celtics will have to win a road game if they want to advance.

“I fully believe, and I’ve said many times, at some point we’re going to have to win on the road,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. “We’ve gotten away with it thus far. That’s been taken away. And if we want what we want, we have to win on the road and that’s just the way it is.”

FACT: Boston can’t win a road game in playoffs.

Looks like the Pistons will take this series.

The Boston Celtics sent LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers home after defeating them 97-92 in game 7 of the series. It was a very entertaining game and both Paul Pierce (41 points) and LeBron James (45 points) played great but the Celtics just refuse to lose on their home court. Boston will now face the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday. And thankfully we won’t have to listen to the Celtics complain about the refs in this series anymore.
