Why Cleveland lost: Its defensive game plan backfired, defeated by Pierce's unselfishness and the Celtics' patience. In other words, Mike Brown was totally outcoached by Doc Rivers.

Great article by Charlie Rosen

He broke down the game pretty well and had some really nice Celtic love. Another quote of his I loved was this:

"Late in the fourth quarter, Pierce unilaterally took over the offense. In all, he had 29 points on 11-for-22 shooting. And in his direct confrontations with LBJ, PP tallied 13 points to his opponent’s 12.

In other words, Pierce was by far the best player on the court."

Bold statement

But I agree. Out coached.

God, don’t you guys love the current team? So many great people, so much talent, so much teamwork. Damn. Euphoric at times :P

Charlie Rosen Wrote A Great Article

Below the article was a question that questioned the greatness of Kevin McHale, the player. Charlie Rosen answered it fully and perfectly. The only statement I would have added was that the public address announcer could have said: “and now Bird is going to pass into McHale” and no one could stop it anyway.
