I felt the "real" NBA Playoff game was tonight, in fact, it should be the "real" NBA Playoff Series between the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls. They played another thriller instant classic tonight in Game 6 in Chicago. Chicago won 128-127 in triple overtime. It seemed as the game wouldn't end. I kind of feel sad for the Portland or houston fans who wanted to see their two teams play but was delayed on TNT til after halftime. Derek Rose was terrific with 28 pts, 8 reb, and 7 ast. He made the play of the game by blocking Rajan Rondo's shot attempt in the final seconds of third overtime. Ray Allen, man he was on fire, 51 pts. He made clutch shots down the stretch in the overtimes that helped Boston come this close. Paul Pierce, Perkins, Glen Big Baby Davis, and Ben Gordon all fouled out.
This whole playoff series has been close. 1st game went 1 overtime, chicago won by 2. Game 2, Boston won by 3. Game 3 was a Boston blowout win and Games 4 (2 OT, won by CHI) and Game 5 (OT, won by BOS) all were thrillers.
This is what playoff basketball should be like. Intense and down to the wire, to the last second. Game 7 is Saturday night. I want it to go to a lot of overtimes. It just can't be decided. As a Laker fan, I will be rooting for Boston as I want a Boston-Los Angeles rematch in the NBA finals in June. I will watch Game 7 for sure.
