That's what Capn Ho writes about our new NBA champions.

More blog reaction:

Jim Sullivan loved it:

It was the most complete embarrassment of an opponent, in the deciding game of The Finals, in the history of the NBA. It was the largest margin of victory ever in the final game of the final series. It was absolutely, completely, utterly over with more than half of the third quarter still to be played.

It was my joy.

Berryjooks: I don't think I've ever seen a team play with so much intensity:

They were lights out as they demoralized and demolished the Lakers 131 to 92 and gave us the perfect ending to a perfect season.

Denton: Somewhere upstairs, Red (the other Red) has lit his victory cigar:

Boston is the City of Champions!

The Outraged Liberal singles out Paul Pierce, Doc Rivers and Danny Ainge for praise, adds:

So light one up for Red! And Reggie. And maybe even Len Bias.

Mr. Cooper posts from Los Angeles:

Boston fans are bad enough when they lose -- I imagine it's fairly unbearable there right now. People here are fairly pissed, but they'll take a day and then go back to their sushi and Pinkberry. Meanwhile, Boston will be harping on this for the next 22 years.

Third Decade: I'm already looking forward to the parade tomorrow.

KA Morin: Rich you are right.. we ARE spoiled in Boston ... but we DO get tortured by our teams ALL THE TIME!

Ha ha!

Cantabridgie recalls:

The Celtics were a significant part of my childhood. I spent summers at Kevin McHale Basketball Camp on Cape Cod and checked out from my local library every book on Larry Bird I could get my hands on. When we were learning about the concept of biographies in language arts class, I wrote one on Red Auerbach. The Celtics were (and still are) a link between my Dad and me. He was as much a fan in his childhood in the glory days of the ‘50s as I was in the glory days of the '80s. He coached my basketball teams, always cheered me on and we cheered on the Celts together. Now we e-mail or call each other about the latest games. Like every true Celtics fan, he takes the good with the bad. All those dark years, when the team barely won, he kept watching. He kept the faith. ...

Spatch: We've secretly replaced the Los Angeles Lakers with the East Tushtup Junior High Bobcats.

Teddy Kokoros yells Ubuntu!

I admit I can be cynical and when I first heard about the Celtics Ubuntu huddle break chant I thought of it as just another form of cliché. However, the Celtics won tonight and the 17th NBA championship because of the Ubuntu philosophy of having your destiny intrinsically tied to others. Every single member of the Celtics organization from ownership all the way down to the kids who wipe the sweat of the parquet floor during time outs should feel proud of this championship.

Fabulously Out There enjoyed having the Celts win on her birthday:

I had this really thoughtful post written for today, you know, being a year older and stuff and how I am so not excited about AGE, but that can wait until tomorrow. Because today is a GREEN day, because, the Celtics not only WON against the Lakers (sorry Amy), they destroyed them last night.

Lyss: I don't remember the neighborhood getting this loud after the Red Sox won the World Series.

Overmatter: Go Celts! Men are adorable when they're winning.

Peter N: They did it. They did it last night and they did it IN Boston.
