Fans visit Red Auerbach's statue outside Faneuil Hall, showering him with ceremonial cigars.

A few rowdy fans get arrested by Boston's finest.

Hey, it's Boston: We'll riot for anything.

Red Solo Cup Man makes his triumphant return.

Well, it was quite the slaughter down at Boston's TD Banknorth Garden tonight. If you missed it, the Celtics capped their nearly flawless season by winning their 17th NBA Championship in a thrilling (and well, blow-out) 131-92 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Kevin Garnett is finally getting a ring...

After 10 years, Paul Pierce (MVP!) is getting the recognition he deserved...

And more than anything... green is finally gold again in Boston.

Expect another banner to be raised to the Garden's rafters. Expect a city-wide parade Thursday morning at 11 a.m. Expect to watch your step tomorrow when walking to the T.

There's something about these championships though...

They're not getting old yet.

Kevin Garnetts post-game news conference was retarded.
"ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!" He sounded like a baby. Posted 06/18/2008 07:58 AMReply

jesus, now if only New England had one the superbowl and i think this year might have been the one time in sports history that a single region (Boston/NE) has had 3 major sports teams dominate their respective leagues. Posted 06/18/2008 09:57 AMReply

Hey you idiot Celtic fans, you claim that the Lakers suck. I'll admit you were the better team in these finals, but c'mon to say that the Sonics(now the OC Thunder) could beat the Lakers is absurd. Oh, by the way, were the hell were you since 1987. Up until this year, where were you? In 1988, I visited Boston and saw the Larry Bird lead Celtics lose a game at the old famed "original" garden after they had a 30 point lead with 19 minutes left!! Since 1987, the Lakers have been a far better team than the SMELTICS. The Lakers have won 5 titles and went to the finals 9 times while you made NO finals appearances or even got close to winning anything!! You only made the conference finals twice(in '88 and in '02). Your GM brat extraordinare Danny crybaby Ainge had to buy your championship this past year. In game 6 of the 2008 Finals you bums RAN UP the score when the game was well in hand-that shows what kind of class the SMELTICS have-NONE!! Hell, you wouldn't even let Sasha shake hands with Paul Pierce after game 6. If you don't believe me, it is on tape. Enjoy your ONE SHOT DEAL of a title for you will kiss it goodbye for another 22 or more years. BOSTON FANS SUCK(especially the DEAD SOX and SMELTICS fans). Get ready for your ass kicking in June 09!!! GO LAKERS!! Posted 11/02/2008 03:21 AMReply
