I just saw this piece in the New Republic. It is priceless. Here is a taste:
"Some in the media are declaring the series over because the Boston Celtics have won four of the six games played so far. But I don’t understand why, with a series this close and hotly contested, anyone would want to shut it down before we play a seventh game and have all the results in. As anybody who follows the NBA knows, a seven-game series would be good for the league, and the added competition would make the eventual victor, whomever it might be, a stronger opponent against the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals."
and
"But know one thing: If the media and league elites put the Celtics up against LA, they will lose, and we’ll be the first to say I told you so."
Here's the entire article:

Some much needed humor on a tense day.
