10 year old Celtics fan has a parting shot for Ray Allen.

The NBA Playoffs is one of the most exciting events in sports. However, this year has been off the charts so far with so many games being decided in the final minutes. In Game 1 of the first round playoff series between the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks, the Celtics came back from a huge deficit, with Ray Allen hit a game-winning 3-pointer with 11.6 seconds remaining, lifting the Boston Celtics to a dramatic 87-85 victory. Here is what that play would’ve looked like had it taken place in NBA 2K11. The call is by TNT’s Marv Albert and Steve Kerr.

The Lakers lack the cohesion of a team that the Celtics have - from running their offense, to getting amazing defensive plays, the Celtics have continually hurt the Lakers with the intagibles: heart and desire (Eye of the Tiger). Winning 2 in a row generally spells doom for the other team, but can the Celtics put it together to get a win at Staples?

The biggest issue I see is passion and desire. The Celtics have a lot more of it than the Lakers - and with the refs keeping everybody off balance, those intamgibles will be crucial. Bynum may not play and will certainly not be at full strength if he does, so the Lakers will need a supreme effort 1-12 to steal Game 5 from Boston.
