"Shit, I should'a ran into a camera ... "

That's a direct quote from Garnett's postgame interview following the C's Game Seven victory over Lebron and his Cavaliers ... He was referring to Paul Pierce's little collision with a cameraman prior to halftime, which left him hobbling to the locker room (to the abject horror of many a Celtic fan).

Luckily, that thigh bruise could do little to stop the Truth, as our captain proceeded to lift the team onto his back and provide a postseason performance for the ages (44 MIN, 41 PTS, 13-23 FG, 11-12 FT, 5 AST, 4 REB, 2 STL).

Bron-Bron might have put together a pretty impressive outing himself (45 PTS, 14-29 FG, 3-11 3PTers, 14-19 FT, 6 AST, 5 REB, 2 STL), but it wasn't enough to put an end to Boston's dominance at home in the postseason (8-0 and counting) ... Even with that scoring output, James still tried to pull out every trick in the book to get the refs on his side (flopping and writhing in agony at the slightest physical contact).

I think Pierce put it best during the very same postgame interview, when he described Lebron as "a helluva complainer" ... Heh, he was attempting to say "competitor" and "player" at the same time, but instead came up with a delicious - and very appropriate - Freudian slip.

Now, it's time to move onto the matchup that everyone's been waiting for ... The Pistons-Celtics rivalry is alive once again (now someone remind me, is Rasheed supposed to be McFilthy or McNasty?)!
