The C's will be wearing special uniforms for this game (and lets hope this game only). I say the C's ending up winning this one by 15 or so. Let's call it 103-88.
Those rings look nicer than they used to... I can see LeBron using this as fuel to his fire though....expect a big game by James
The ring ceremony/ banner raising was awesome. Pierce was so emotional, that banner really means a lot to him.
Celtics have come out flat. All their jumpers are missing bad. That ceremony has them all screwy right now.
Pierce is the only one putting in work. I don't think it'll be to this extent, but it sort of reminds me of when the Heat came out flat and the Bulls beat them by 40 during their ring ceremony.
Before LeBron is mentioned in the same breath of Kobe and Jordan, he can't continually choke during pressure situations.
