Dragging Out Garnett

Will Boston drag out Garnett for game 7. Small chance, but just more added drama...

A lot of people are talking about how this series will physically and emotionally drain the winner and the next round will be difficult. I actually think the opposite. I would not want to play either one of these battle-hardened teams after this series. Do you know what kind of mental training and toughness these guys are getting right now. Why do you think the Celtics mutilated the Lakers last year? Because they were tested to the limit by the Hawks and the Cavs. The Lakers had an easy road to the finals and weren't hardened.

Playing the winner of this series would be like fighting the Soviet Army after WW2. Yeah, they took a beating at the hands of the Germans, but the dudes that were left were the toughest of the tough and possess a confidence only begotten at the hands grueling victory.
