The Celtics took a very exciting series to the last game and managed to pull off the W, to get them a ticket to the NBA Finals vs. Golden State. Andray Blatche returned at a key time for Boston and helped them to victory. Shane Battier and Paul Pierce were also key in shutting down Lebron James. The Series was back and forth, as Boston took game 1, Miami game 2, and Boston game 3 at home.

NBA FINALS:
1) Boston Celtics vs. 2) Golden State Warriors
Preview: The Celtics show that their depth was key to beating the Heat, now they face a team with similar depth, including Monta Ellis (26ppg), Steph Curry (18.4ppg), David Lee (17.6ppg), and Yao Ming (16.3ppg). The Celtics although will come with their best including Paul Pierce (21.1ppg), Kevin Love (16.3ppg), Rajon Rondo (14.4ppg 8.4ast), and Andray Blatche (10.3ppg). This should be a great series and only time will tell who will get the title.
