This Bleacher Report story is an interesting read for all Celtics fans:

The way the Finals panned out was my worst nightmare; the Celtics decimated the Lakers. Absolutely decimated the Lakers. Kendrick Perkins (you have no idea how much I hated him) may be a brute, but he is an effective one. Rajon Rondo, whom I laughed at for being skinnier than a FEMALE gymnast, made Fisher contemplate early retirement.

The Finals left a bitter taste in my mouth that I refuse to wipe out with Gatorade.

Yet, in spite of all that, I respect the 2007-08 Celtics, albeit grudgingly. Heck, as heretical as this sounds, I wished the Lakers were more like them. The toughness. The ferocity. The competitiveness. The lack of, dare I say the four-letter word, soft-ness.
