Lost in the insanity of the World Cup is the fact that a game seven looms on the horizon. For those who complain that the NBA season is too long, that it starts in the fall and goes through the winter and spring and summer, fear not. There's only one game left and what a game it is. Game 7.
Thursday night will mark the first Game Seven in finals history since game seven of the Knicks and Rockets series from 1995.
Nothing in sports is better than a game seven for all the marbles. Not to mention that it's a rivalry for the ages.
Do the Celtics have one more push in their brittle old bodies or can Kobe prove once again that he doesn't need Shaq?
You really couldn't have written a better script. I'm literally drooling as I type this.
Few things in sports can be as exciting as a game seven. There's a desperate feel in the air, the realization that this is it.
The Celtics may be without Kendrick Perkins who left game 6 with a knee sprain and may have to rely on "Big Baby." If Baby can play like he did in game four, then the Celts will hoist banner 18. Man that is a lot. Unless you are Phil Jackson and you could have 11 when the night is over.
I can guarantee that Kobe will put on a magical performance since he hasn't been able to be stopped yet, but can Lamar, Ron and Gasol match that intensity? So much will be answered tomorrow night. Don't set your tivo or dvr. Watch this one live, because there is a real good chance they will talk about this for awhile.
That's it and that's all.
P.S. I LOVE THE WORLD CUP!!
Game 7 Anyone?

Knicks-Rockets was in 94, not 95. And the Spurs-Pistons went 7 games in 2005.
The Knicks and Rockets went to seven games in 1994... not 1995 and the Spurs and Pistons went seven games five years ago, in 2005 with the Spurs winning their third NBA title in seven years.
Go Celtics!
I still may not watch, because the NBA season is too long. Honestly, since it is a Game 7, I think I'll take a peek tomorrow night. At least I'll be guaranteed someone will take the championship.
Thanks for catching that I totally forgot about the Spurs v Pistons and I had a feeling it was 94. I knew it was sandwhiched somewhere in between the second coming of Jordan.
