I've spent two of the last four nights glued to the television watching the NBA series playoffs between the Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics. Who would have thought this series would be so good? Its been an amazing exciting few games!! Derrick Rose and Ben Gordon have been instrumental for the Bulls while Pierce, Allen and Davis have stepped up for the Celtics while Garnett is injured on the sidelines.

My first love goes with the Celtics. After hailing from Boston University for Undergraduate, I can't help but go back to the days of being young, caregree and studying public relations in such a cool city as Boston. I remember vividly my internship Junior Year. I worked for Children's Hospital, Boston in the Public Relations department. I thought this was the coolest thing ever! And I remember one day in particular, part of my job was to take some of the Celtics players, one being Paul Pierce, over to the hospital to visit with sick children. Wow this is part of my job, I remember thinking! I also painfully recall that in the 4 years in Boston, the Celtics were hardly a playoff team let alone Champions.

Today, I give Paul Pierce a lot of credit for his patience, determination, and most of all heart to believe that one day he would be part of the Celtics Dream Team that included Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. It is this threesome that has given loyal fans the championship rights and hope for more to come. I look forward to a game 7 (yes I love the competition and excitement of a close series) and the ultimate win for the Celtics. Game on...
