CHAMPIONS

An amazing and sterling season has come to its thrilling conclusion.

And while I could do a long winded story about the wherewithal and mettle these guys showed all year, and how downright amazing this season has been, I feel it just wouldn't do it justice. Because now everyone knows. Everyone who was a fan knew all about it. Now all the haters and the apathetic fans know as well.

These guys were champions from Day 1. I know I'm not alone recalling late last summer. The C's had failed to obtain one of the picks that would grant them Kevin Durant or Greg Oden, the closest to sure things since LeBron and Carmelo.

Then the Ray Allen trade.

Then the KG trade.

I regard that press conference of KG, Ray Ray, and Paul Pierce as one of the greatest Celtics days in years! While watching that conference, I could see the Larry O'Brien trophy in sight. The actual image was exactly what I envisioned last July 31st.

This team silenced its critics, showed up its doubters, and demolished each of the 31 teams in the process. Doc Rivers preached defense all year. And it's more than evident that the C's had one of the greatest defensive squads in at least 10 years.

This team was driven from the start of the season and never once had their eye off their ultimate goal.

And from where I'm sitting, there is absolutely no reason to think they can't do it again next year.

The quest for number 18 begins in October.

celtics, w00t
