Why? They just beat the team with the best record, and the team with the second-best record. They just handed the Lakers their first home loss of the playoffs and did it on a night when both Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett pretty much didn't show up.
I'm not trying to sound like a rosy-glasses homer. Yeah, I like the Celtics, but I really don't give much of a shit if they win or not. But they clearly have one of the deepest, most talented rosters seen in quite a while, and if they play up to their potential they're unbeatable. If they DON'T play up to their potential, then you get Game 1.
The Celtics might win or lose this series, but I don't think the Lakers are all that and I don't think the Celtics shake in their sneakers thinking about them.
