I was rather surprised that the NBA would let the Celtics win game 4. NBA executives had to be dancing in the streets when this dream matchup became a reality. Now the ratings boom they have received is going to be hurt by the series being nearly over in the minds of many.
I really expected the Lakers to win this series, and they still might, but the Celtics have taken care of business. It will be nice for Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to finally get their rings (if it happens). It will also be some vindication for the Eastern Conference who have been billed as some kind of JV league all season.
