Kobe misses a jumper, Rondo the rebound. Pierce loses the ball under the basket, ball out, Celtics ball.
Garnett has 10 of the C's 16 points to start the game. Yeah, somebody poked the sleeping, uh, Big Ticket.

But winning an NBA Championship this year still seemed like it would take a minor miracle for the Boston Celtics. Compete? Obviously. Win 50 plus games? Highly likely. Win the Eastern Conference? Very possible. But knock off a powerful Western team and bring the Title back to Boston? Hmmm. If we had a leprechaun on our side, I'd say maybe?
