Although the majority of us favored the Celtics in our First Round Picks most of us (besides the obviously biased John) were skeptical of how this aged team would do in the playoffs. Most people thought that the Celtics didn't have enough "fight" in them; that they didn't want it bad enough. But from the first game of this series against the Heat, the Celtics of yesteryear have been making a comeback.
Tonight, Paul Pierce hit a 21 foot jumper at the buzzer to beat the Heat 100-98. But Pierce didn't seem to understand why everyone was so surprised "That's a shot I hit a number of times in playoffs and regular season," he stated after. "I told the coaches, 'Give me the ball on the right side.' I got my sweet spot, made sure there wasn't any time left and drained it." Easy as that.
With 3 games under in the W column, people all over the city of Boston are grabbing their brooms and talking about a sweep.
