Celtics!
Towards the end of the NBA regular season, many questions were brought up about the Boston Celtics. Many people thought they could get beat in the very first round. During the season the team was very inconsistent. They experienced a lot of injuries to key players such as Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and a few others. However, the team is on a tear in the playoffs. They easily swept the first round, and beat the heavy favorite Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James in 6 games. They continue to do the unexpected by taking the first two games from Orlando Magic, who were 8-0 in the playoffs before facing Boston. The Big Three Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett are all doing their parts to contribute to the wins. Paul Pierce is at full force driving at defenders pulling up around the free throw line. He is also hitting a large amount of 3s and drawing foul after foul. KG is back, posting hard hitting in the lane jumpers, fade-aways, and 17 footers. Ray Allen is playing like the normal Jesus Shuttlesworth, scoring in every way possible. Layups, dunks, lane jumpers, off-the-dribble shots and 3s. Another huge contributer has been point guard Rajon Rondo. He is arguably the best all-around player on the team this year and postseason. Hes been putting up a double-double just about every single night out. He has already posted a triple-double in game 4 of the Cleveland series scoring 29 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists. His stats say it all, but he is much better than his stats say
