Well...after the up and down regular season this Cs team had, I can't say that I saw this coming. But tonight, the Celts knocked the Cavs out of the playoffs with a 94-85 win.Give the Cs all the credit. They have come together at the right time. Their health is back, their defense seems to be back, and they have a lot of weapons, and at any time -- any one of those weapons can lead this team to a victory.
But what really stood out to me tonight -- in what could be King James' last game for the Cavs -- was how easily that team rolled over and gave up at the end of the game.
With the game still in striking distance, the Cavs (who, may I remind you, had the best record during the regular season), gave up. They didn't pressure the Cs...they just pulled back to the key. For the love of God...Mo Williams was walking the ball up the court instead of pushing it.
If I am a Cleveland fan...I'm disgusted.
Also -- hats off to the Boston fans for their "New York Knicks" taunt while Lebron was on the free throw line. Great originality.
Now the Celts move onto Orlando on Sunday to take on the Magic and their soft 8-0 postseason record.
Between now and then, I'll be tuning into the Bs game 7 against the Flyers tomorrow night hoping the Bruins can overcome the massive momentum shift that has happened in that series, and avoid the embarrassing loss after -- at one time -- being up 3-0.
