Moving on in the "Best of" series.. Round 2 vs the Cavs. The game that I thought was the best game in Round 1 against the Miami Heat was Game 1. Which game was the best to come out of Round 2??
Game 3
Ahhhhhhahaha Just kidding.. We can save that for a rainy day "Worst of" series.
Game 6
Celtics- 94 Cavs- 85
There really isn't much philosophical thinking that has to go behind this choice like there was with my Round 1 decision. This game was the Celtics game 7 due to the degree of difficulty going back to Cleveland and playing an actual game 7 (*cough* and the league wanting Lebron vs. Kobe).
This game was the final blow that knocked out all of those "professional analysts" who said the C's had no shot and they would likely get swept, but may find a way to take a game at home and get ousted in 5.
The game consisted of medium sized Celtics leads that were soon nullified. It never seemed like the team could carry out a run, but always appeared in control of the game (which made it a more comfortable as a fan).
All of those non completed runs were made irrelevant midway through the 4th when in a span of 17 seconds Sheed hit a 3 from the corner, the Celtics stole the ball right back and Kevin Garnett slammed it home on a fast break led by Rondo.
Oh.. and the classic "New York Knicks" chant didn't hurt the entertainment rating of the game any either.
