Congrats to Paul Pierce. Of all the people on the Celtics, he really deserves this. His number will be up in the rafters of the Garden someday, and he is this Boston Celtics team.

This series, and this season for the most part, didn't captivate me like I thought it would coming in. It had it's moments, but overall, I don't think I watched all that many games this year. Boston was definitely the better team in this series, though. They showed the Lakers how to gain a lead and secure it. The Lakers are a team on the rise and will be heard from again (if Kobe doesn't demand another trade, that is) but Boston was just superior in every facet of the game.

I was really rooting for Boston's Big 3, KG in particular, to get a ring this year. He's a class act through and through and he's one of the most likable guys in the league. So, I'm especially glad to see him win one. Congrats to the Celts on winning it all and the Lakers for having a phenomenal year.

I guess the offseason is going to be all about Tim Donaghy and all this referee crap. However, there is the Summer Games this year, so here's hoping Team USA can bring back the gold.
