The Best Ever?

Welcome to my third install ment of my blog. We have definitely been watching history take place with the grueling seven game series between the Chicago Bulls and the defending champion Boston Celtics. Now since every one is asking whether this seven game series is the best of all time or not, I am going to give my personal opinion on this subject matter. I believe that this series is the best first round series of all time, plain and simple. But I just can't say it's the best of all time until I see the highly anticipated series finale.

Now just for a little background information:

This series has had seven overtimes! One game had two and last nights game 6 had three! We have seen numerous hustle plays, skirmishes, bloody noses, stitches, hard fouls, missed free throws, a 51 point performance in a game 6 loss and game tying and winning three pointers by Ray Allen, a 35 point game 6 performance and a game saving block on what could've been Paul Pierce's game winning jumper, Paul Pierce's game 5 winning shot, Ben Gordon's game 4 saving three pointer while nursing a strained hamstring, and the best point guard play in the NBA right now with Rookie of the Year Derrick Rose who blocked Rondos potential game winning shot in game 6 and has been averaging 20 point and 7 rebounds in his first playoff series ever, and the triple double averaging sophomore Rajon Rondo! Wow!

I am going to say that this is the best series we've seen in the past decade, maybe even two, but I still believe the ancient Celtics-Lakers championship games in the 80's were better because of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Now if this series was for the Eastern Conference Championship, then I would give it the title, but it's still a first round series.

Now since I have explained myself, their is one more question left. Who will win this series? My pick would have to be the Boston Celtics because they are going to Boston for game 7. It's hard to really count the defending champs out at their home court in the first round even though Kevin Garnett isn't in the lineup. After all the Celtics were pushed to a game 7 in last years first round, but these Bulls are playing with way more passion away from Chicago than the Hawks were playing away from Atlanta. So I believe everybody should tune in to game 7 tommorow at 8 o'clock on TNT and see how these two compassionate teams will play in their final meeting of this playoff series.
