What a great Defensive trend

Game 1 vs. Lakers - we give up 102 points
game 2 - 94
game 3 - 91
game 4 - 89
game 5 - 86

I love this trend - and against the amazing high scoring LA Lakers to boot!!!!

Yah mon!!!!its the Lakers are in a slump.....we have nothing to do with that,right?

Only the Celtics D could do this to the Lakers. All credit goes to the Celtics!

This series reminds me of a song from the Sound of Music - "I am 16 going on 17," only now it's "I am 17 going on 18." What a beautiful song.

actually the lyrics have just what you want and are looking for at the end.

You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink

You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cads
Will offer you food and wine

Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken

You need someone older an wiser
Telling you what to do
I am seventeen going on eighteen
I'll take care of you

[Liesl:]
I am sixteen going on seventeen
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe

I am sixteen going on seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those

Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken

I need someone older and wiser
Telling me what to do
You are seventeen going on eighteen
I'll depend on you

Good call Beat! Thanks for those lyrics. Now we just need one more win, and we can start singing, "I am 18 going on 19...and willing I believe!"

Spent a few minutes rewording the above song to fit the Celt/Lakers
With appologies to Rogers and Hammerstein
(and Julie Andrews)

Celts to Lakers

You are 15 going on 16
Kobe it's time to think
Better beware be cunning and careful
Cause baby your on the brink

You are 15 going on 16
Your teamates are falling in line
Eager young lads and rouges and cads
Will bow to your every whine

Totally unprepared is Phil
To face a sea of GREEN
Timid and scared and so unprepaired
For this is the best he's seen

You need someone older and wiser
telling you what to do
WE are 17 going on 18
We will school you!

second part.............. Lakers to Celts

We are 15 going on 16
i know we are naive
Players will scoff and tell us we're soft
and willingly we believe

We are 15 going on 16
Soft as down are we
whatever the weather, we're losing together
for GREEN is all we see

Totally unprepaired are we
to face a team of GREEN
timid and shy and scared are we
for they're the best we've seen

We need someone older and wiser
showing us what to do
You are 17 going on 18
We are second to you

PRICELESS!!!!
