Celtics v. Heat:Game 7 Required

      Well, did you like Game 6? One knew at the onset it was going to be close, and it was, by one point. Lots of bettors went home disgusted with their choice to win the contest. The Celtics, on the other hand went home to Boston exhilirated by the come-from-behind victory at the buzzer. They became the 4th team to overcome a 0-3 deficit in a championship series to go to Game 7.

      Boston fans will likely not be able to sleep for the next few days as their guys travel to Bean Town for the final game to determine who gets to take on the Denver Nuggets.  Be careful what you wish for when it comes to moving on- no matter the Game 7 winner, that team will have its hands full with Denver.

       So these athletes, wealthy professional players on teams that field only 5 players at once, will play out the season finale series, and then take a long rest(sort of) of a few months before all the trading, moving, retirements, and hiring takes place.

          Watching the Celtics v. Heat was truly like watching a seesaw: up and down, back and forth. When Boston went ahead, it didn't last. The Heat would catch up, maybe go ahead, then fall back again. The 4th quarter was fateful, especially the last 3  minutes as timeouts were called; fouls were called and reviewed, players came and went; and the ball rimmed the hoop and dropped out, increasing tensions and dashing hopes. After capturing some momentum, Miami was able to overcome a deficit and go ahead by 1 point and Boston had little hope with 3 seconds left on the clock. Better than 1 second, for sure. The ball was in bounded and the shot was put up, and it failed to drop in, and the put back was successful as the buzzer sounded, sending both teams to a Game 7 showdown in Boston
