Things are going smooth for Boston Basketball Partners L.L.C.’s Boston Celtics in the NBA Playoffs and are now looking to rebuild another Celtics Dynasty with the complete and healthy lineup of the Celtic’s Big Three - Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. With its newly upgraded bench players that added the likes of Rasheed Wallace, Michael Finley, Nate Robinson and Marquis Daniels, this could spell trouble for any Celtics’ opponent.
Doc River’s Boston Celtic is having a good run for another title chase since winning the NBA Plum on 2008. They have lost their title defense at the hands of Dwight Howard’s Orlando Magic in the 2009 2nd Round Playoff in a decisive Game 7. It was the first time for the Celtic Franchise to fail at a playoff series after leading 3-2 and it was mainly due to Boston’s main man Kevin Garnett who got injured in the regular game loss against the Utah Jazz and was out in the entire 2009 Playoff. But now, things look much different as the Celtics is becoming more dangerous once more as the NBA Eastern Finals is heating up.
The chase for Celtics’ 18th NBA Title started with a trashing of Dwane Wade’s Miami Heat in the Eastern 1st Round Series 4-1 and last week, Celtics stunningly defeated the highly favored 2010 MVP King Lebron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers 3-2 in the Eastern 2nd Round Series, that could make Lebron think about his future with the Cavaliers and maybe opt to sign with the New York Knicks to chase his own ring. And now, looking for a revenge against the Orlando Magic, with the healthy lineup complete, with the playoff ascend of Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen’s come-backing shooting arsenal and Celtics’ Big Men physical therapy on Dwight Howard, they have smother the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals by a 99-88 win and take 1-0 series lead.
It was a dominant playoff for Doc River’s Boston Celtics whose franchise was founded in 1946 that got 17 NBA Championships (the most for any NBA franchise), 20 Conference Titles and 28 Division Titles, plus 21 retired numbers of great Celtics players (that included Bob Cousy, Bill Russell, Dave Cowens and Larry Bird) who won the NBA Valuable Player Award for an NBA record total of 10 MVP awards. And who could ever forget Boston Celtic’s legendary coach Read Auerbach who got nine NBA championships, none as most Celtics fan would say. What a long list for a winning franchise and maybe this year’s Boston Celtics could add some victory on that list.
Game 2 will be played again at Orlando Magic’s Amway Arena on Tuesday night, May 18.
