I hate to say it since there is still a whole lot of playoffs remaining. But, it is hard for me to believe we will get a series the rest of the way that even remotely resembles this one. Game 7 was not the thriller that the rest of the series provided nightly, but it was still a very competitive game with two good teams fighting for their playoff lives. The Celtics prevailed, because in the end they have more talent, and there secondary guys stepped up big including Eddie House. House was 5/5 from the 3 pt line including the dagger late in the 4th quarter.
I for one am tired of the haters, saying that this series was overrated because these were two "mediocre teams". Remember that when it's Boston who is in the Conference Finals versus Lebron without any help from their MVP Kevin Garnett. Take away a Hall of Famer from any of the other teams and see how well they perform. I am sure the Cavs would do just fine with Delonte West as their second option (ha,ha, ha).
The Bulls will be back, with or without Ben Gordon. They have a young talented nucleus that seems to like playing with each other. If Paxson is smart, and he is, he will keep his core together for the next 5-6 years and then they will challenge in the East. Derrick Rose will be facing off with Lebron in the future. Those series will be great.
