I watched the whole Game 6 thing from the pre-game to the final seconds, and like many Celtics fans, were furious. As sloppy as it was, the Celtics would have won that game if the officials didn't mail it in for the LeBrons - I really believe that now.
To keep things in perspective for the disgruntled Celtics fans, you have to give an allowance for some playoff dysfunctionality for a team that set a record 42 game turnaround during the regular season. I mean, it's not supposed to be that easy to go from last to first, rags to riches, etc. That only happens in the movies . . . and the NBA wants the fans to know that . . .
The Celtics will win tomorrow, and we fans will continue to have the chinese water torture of the road losses and 7-game series against Detroit and then likely face the Lakers in the marketing coup staged by the NBA. Yes I'm cynical, but you would be too if you were a Celtics fan after Game 6, where the Cavs squeaked by 74-69.
