Celtics Win Game 7!

I don’t watch many N.B.A. games straight through because I am usually doing other things, but I follow in-game box scores and Game Trackers online, and read some of the post-game recaps and boxscores. My opinion on this Bulls-Celtics series is WOW!!! what a series! Game 7 didn’t have quite the same drama that earlier games did, but this was still a series for the ages!

I think if the Bulls can get more scoring from their power forward and center, they’ll be even better! Center Joakim Noah had 15 boards, but he and Tyrus Thomas didn’t score as many points as guys like John Salmons, Ben Gordon, and Derrick Rose did.

What a neat season though, for the Bulls! Vinny DelNegro did a great job in his first coaching job, and I think that the guys really battled.  44-45 might not look like the best record on paper, but folks, this was a ballclub that was 18-27 after a loss to the Timberwolves in late January, so I think they fought back well. Derrick Rose was SENSATIONAL this season.

Being a big Duke fan and Luol Deng fan, it was painful for me to see that his season ended prematurely due to injury. He would have really helped the Bulls a ton, so I hope his injury heals up really soon.

I like a lot of N.B.A. teams though, and so it will be fun to watch and see who takes the championship. The game needs many more rounds of playoffs as tightly-contested as this Bulls-Celtics round was. We need to get the game back to the neat point it was at when Michael Jordan played!
