[1:38]" Hasn't sunk in yet. This way debated here just think about it can you believe at the Celtics are world champions. The best team in the NBA here NBA champions the first time in 22 years. -- to -- into a championship negation of Celtics relied on John writer and I'll be taking your calls all the way until. 6 AM at 61777 dietary fifty toll free 888525 -- fifty pound WEEI. A free college via a Verizon cellphone while the Celtics that works so hard all season it takes a record 26 playoff games. And isn't it ironic or maybe I guess it's fitting that the Celtics win their first championship. In those 22 years in a blowout win which they did so many times at the garden this season they absolutely had annihilate the rival Lakers won 31 to 92 in game six of the NBA finals in. Honestly it was even that close him in this game was pretty much finished in the second quarter but the Celtics made sure it was finished. They played. Their best game of the season in their last game of the season game six and they play the full 48. They won every single quarter for the first time. In the playoffs in the 39 point win the 1031 points in this game is the most points the Celtics have scored this entire season and attack in regular season playoffs pose season. Whatever 131 points and by the way the 39 point margin of victory is the most ever in a title clinching game. Thirty points they crushed the Lakers by previous I was ironically the 1965 Celtics over the Lakers winning that title clincher by 33. If you're wondering about 86 Celtics they -- the defeated the Rockets by seventeen points in their title clinching victory. Paul Pierce it's fitting as well that he's the finals MVP. He had seventeen points in tennis -- in this one. But it was really his previous game's game five even though they lost he scores the theory we know about how import he was in game four than 24 on -- point comeback win. And -- 9791 win or the Lakers in Los Angeles in game four appears said that dominated defensive effort against Kobe Bryant. In the second half he scored twenty points in the game fourteen in the second of course we know what he did. In the playoff series against the Cleveland Cavaliers that game seven where he went off against LeBron James in some clutch games as well in this Pistons series that. Takes the Celtics 26 playoff games a record 26 -- games but it certainly pays up in the end as they get the year. Seventeenth championship the most in NBA history. And their first in 22 years with this big victory over the Lakers won 31 to 92. And let's get to the ball in super step is Matt in a car I'm Matt."

[4:29]" Eight John I don't and I terrific man you. I just want to say guy great that you're gonna section in the morning I hope you got the red -- some coffee ready I'm ready to go. I would say that -- be an adrenaline because somebody probably step inspired -- Unbelievable feeling not -- 25 years old I would only three years so we will the last championship and -- it is. -- that I have felt since the out Patriots 2000 one championship and for the -- thought he -- the torch right out there were those two. So proud to be a Boston fan and everybody -- is there as -- Robert -- art -- let them. Change in the nineties and the early. To thousands of --"

[5:17]" Right and it's so odd when you think back to a year ago at this time in you know the NBA draft what happens there with the Celtics in -- At 24 wins last season to turn it around and complete the biggest turnaround in NBA history and of course cap and off the best way they possibly could -- NBA championship."

[5:36]" you think -- do you think you want Greg Oden in the knowledge that -- and Ray Allen you're saying what does what does any any you know and then. Then they get Kevin Garnett here like -- got something dark -- not actually it's funny story tonight was I don't know you pedestal my ability to O'Meara and unlike today that. It's just tell us for a world championship like for respect that you get -- getting into number 44 in the rafters. And I think and it's going to be 44 and then 34 after -- says and -- I --"

[6:04]" And then maybe number five eventually brought."

[6:06]" I was going to say I'm -- I've been I don't know -- twenties but I mean. And it what do you think about pitching as they get that."

[6:13]" Well you know it aid these guys get a couple of seasons left and it's incredible that the that they were able to do this in their first season together as teammates in when you think about it Kevin Garnett is thirteenth NBA season his first title Paul Pierce's ten season his first title Ray Allen -- twelfth season his first I would even. Guys -- the bench like PJ brown who who -- it was picked up mid season his fifteenth NBA season his first championship. -- I mean the list goes on and on so very deserving for all these yet."

[6:44]" I -- I couldn't be more proud of I mean Garnett and our team for awhile you know he's the guy deserves that ran out as well what. Pot here so I've been a huge and it became an -- team and yeah. He stuck with that you the trafficking because demanded a trade eagle could pull that Vince Carter and not faking injuries the guys just pop and thought he was out of first in the wild look well he has finals MVP -- hometown team -- Storybook ending for very came John you're the man and -- have a good night so that the best."

[7:17]" slot that -- take about all the drama in this entire post season appears -- a return from that game one knee injury the finals record 24 point combat in game four even does some surprises lightly on -- emergence as a game -- star. The injuries adversity 24 wins last season and I champions this season. You never know in one year what a difference a year makes it. Of the groups that more than the Celtics title."

[7:44]" Run in this playoff run and they score 131 points against the Lakers and have slowed blog 131 to 92. 39 points they beat the Lakers by which is the second highest point total. Margin of victory the entire season. The your biggest victory was back on November 20 ninth against the Knicks when they beat him by 45 this is the second. Biggest margin of victory the entire season they do in game six of the NBA finals here's jacket rode out --"

[8:11]" They generally don't -- I talked -- last march -- excuse -- in dark. I told Trinity Gasquet it was going to be close right I would at least -- Kobe Bryant -- took a lost art history because this team has helped him mention -- Well you are here and it. During the regular season and -- I want our detectors it was going to be -- I did not efficient in. I want to want to -- just like -- it was like a machine -- Derek it it was just if it it was the -- the GP last -- this team. Was was was placed in the scheme it sparked all the big moment throughout the season and throughout the playoffs yeah. It -- it was no way to allow this to go to seven games and are outside just. I was so proud of this team expression wait. They put an exclamation point this season because there's no dull world -- chart this year in India."

[9:12]" there is no question he looked out the box score. Of course you know. We a look at all the numbers we want we know the heart and hustle of the -- of the defense is why they won this championship but it is out late edition really. Jumps out edge yet Hodges dominant they were in this game six would amaze me of course the second quarter where they outscored 34 -- fifteen but. At to have I looked down and I couldn't believe it affected the Celtics had more steals than the Lakers had made field colds in the entire first half the Celtic and steals in the first half. The Lakers had eight made shots from before."

[9:44]" I'd beat this game was. What's at tight are all teams tactic just just keep really epitomized what the Celtics are rested team. -- what belief guitarist achieved I don't wanna I don't want to diminish what you'll with the lake is accomplished she all of the."

[10:00]" Well it was just evident that the Celtics wanted this much more I mean and you could tell tonight that the the Lakers had pretty much given up at at at the half I mean really they they were just getting crushed. On the glass completely they had two offensive rebounds the entire game the Lakers did in both those came in the fourth quarter."

[10:19]" I got a great shot try to try it to -- The team's active just need all the any any teams. So it's just I don't much better ironically it was the key to -- that they -- give. In the -- lost the big comeback. I told you -- right at the guesswork out the luxury of twenty point lead in the first -- that I disputed resiliency. That the Celtics played with those games in LA. We at times in the NBA it's very difficult to get back. Are all the any key role -- you --"

[10:55]" Well especially against a team like the Lakers where they've excelled so much on their home court nearly suffered. One no loss on their home court through the entire post season by the way the Celtics finished thirteen and one -- on their home court which is a record for the most. Wins on on a home for the playoffs and they establish how many records this season."

[11:13]" I I don't -- solid a front runner yeah I really have to be brutally as they -- Dick Gephardt that point so well Pierce's career. A lot of people write him off at times -- actually really what the hype was all ball. And I'm not seeing this because dictate what she is ship and lost the -- dished it if they lost and I Somalia or eight separate. I peaceful it will sit wait. There's this guy is a legitimate superstar at -- was just -- ignorant some White lie there's not been able to it. Throughout the year certainly I don't -- he was a talent but at times I would think keep."

[11:54]" This isn't as this was his best season overall because not only did he do it on the offensive bed. And he's done that before it was more -- fancy but into the deep reds and nothing was more evident about that. Then in game four when he played a tremendous Stevenson Kobe Bryant and ask Doc Rivers at the half. To guard Kobe Bryant that he wanted to go right up against Kobe Bryant in the shut him down."

[12:16]" Well I'll decided aren't just -- very happy what is it I'm glad the Celtics are back -- a little old score all. Are off for -- he has all RV eight it was in east that Larry -- and if yet in jail almost guys. And it was great years it is don't really dish yeah. To be back in the in. It was like I said whipped out any doubt Norwood in Indian BA -- in the past all world. Can say to salt Milwaukee or -- he caught a break here and get past -- stopped the -- they aren't exclamation point on right."

[12:52]" Dated Jack that -- for the call up Paul Pierce seemed hell bent on winning a title and not only appears the entire team -- it. You know just the look in their eyes in the confidence that they showed on the court was evident from the first tipoff maybe a little frenetic pace to the first quarter. But really in the second quarter obviously. They did they started just hammer away at this Lakers team and ages -- building and building this lead and ultimately is at 39 point win. In -- seventeenth NBA championship in the first title for many of these Celtics of course -- first. In 22 years have John -- this is Celtics relied take your calls and 6 AM lead into the Dennis Galley a joke. The phone number 617779850 toll free. 888525850 of the Verizon cellphone punch up pound WEI and that's a free call -- marriage or compete. I --"

[13:42]" Eight of thought not good -- are you on operate what do you work around you know what the."

[13:49]" Total team. I mean it's so resilient this team. And they needed at every one on this team one through twelve to win this championship would fittingly all of them played for the most part tonight."

[14:00]" Yeah opt out what a lot caller I I knew that alters that -- herbal -- career really odd couple at its current well that -- You know he's been won -- dollars and in the lead bird -- careers and band thing for years that -- didn't know lead big and you know look at look at his involvement in. You know home to all of you all the different and -- well kept him."

[14:24]" Yeah -- and that all changed tigers' first when David DO Kevin Garnett. Was announced -- this deal made in India it is amazing what do you think about all that Paul Pierce is gone throughout his career in Boston comedy. Times he's been docked. How many times we've heard phone calls after Celtics games even this season people saying that Paul peers you know isn't a team player well I think he's answered the question. All these critics out -- and all these doubters that Paul Pierce's team player and he's definitely. A champion and a warrior."

[14:52]" And Jack -- edges -- as well -- game."

[14:56]" They all did and Doc Rivers you have to feel terrific for him as well and I think he had even one as a head coach. A first round playoff series before this season and in his first title all those years he spent with the Atlanta. In playing in the NBA is well it in coaching at different spots in. It in the last season suffering through that. With the Celtics team that never given up and heading into the season and all went through the past bunch years as well so all of these guys can't be more happy. For of -- there's so many guys on this team that deservedly so nice to see that they win this championship together."

[15:29]" Yeah you're right this off gonna give the good work. Have --"

[15:33]" Our takes let -- Here's Mike is to women time like."

[15:37]" Hey John looked -- don't. Badge on you -- much to say you know wait for them so elated that we have won a championship yeah yeah yeah I can't."

[15:48]" Unbelievable it's it's tough to find words at times because when you think back to last year at the stamina --"

[15:54]" You know actually shattered jaw and they came in here -- source -- KG and they're out but who have believed it. Extra activity today and not want being on any day you'll I have that try to find. God knows that not or that. Most durable bat -- play well."

[16:15]" I mean it for a Celtics man who it was a -- hard NBA bad it wasn't probably too competitive if if you were neutrally we're shut this up at to have for in the second quarter and if you're a Lakers miniature throwing stuff at the TV. And Kobe Bryant probably throw and stuff right now or throw a doubt about thirty shots he thought he needed. Twenty shots in the case of beer after game four I can't imagine what he's gone for after this what. Here's Joe in -- a joke."

[16:43]" John I think tickets speak for every Celtics the end we knew that it was going to come by. Unbelievable game -- I got -- they also. I would rather have the MVP. Being a Celtic in the final in the regular season any day."

[17:02]" Now that's that there is no doubt about that Kobe Bryant. You know -- you can steer a dead MVP trophy Ali once the east and it did you got right right that's true he has won NBA championships before but I think he wanted this one more than the previous offs."

[17:18]" overall the overall score the the the record or are we here. Every big everything any video -- even I called you before and I said. Giant Chicago it was a -- ball -- they would just awesome they would just awesome."

[17:34]" Well from start to finish who it was unbelievable the record start how they raised after that quick start at the all star break the built up the great record of course they finish the season with a 66 wins in. And ever going to question marks and understandably so after you know goes seven games against Atlanta and then it takes and seven in Cleveland it. People worried at that seventh game why not go one up against LeBron James that epic effort by Paul Pierce. They wrap up Detroit six they get that road would when they needed and is series. Just the ups and downs and they put it away in six when they really had to -- had to because you don't want. You know give the Lakers any momentum for game seven."

[18:10]" A judge you don't you don't of one of the great things is I was I was allowed in the eighties I was he had I'm born -- sixty but just wanted to say -- wants her job. I partied I partied with the Celtics -- don't understand I was bit. It was just. It was phenomenal it is seeded in the drought that we had. That this is a body."

Just four of that thirteen shooting had ten assists three rebounds but it was more what he did. Through the previous five games of this series -- defense on Kobe Bryant is overall deepens in blown by everybody depicted post you ran with Kevin Garnett so well. They'd stated so well throughout the entire season they did a great the NBA finals those those two working out well together Garnett scored 26 points and grabbed fourteen rebounds or -- was. Hollering for that monster game from Garnett. Well you got it tonight game six that's for sure with a 26 of the fourteen he had a double double and all of six games of these NBA finals and he scored 500 by the way. Kevin Garnett. 530 points total if you added up throughout the entire post season these 26 games which is the third most in Celtics playoff history the 530 points the most ever.

What was he foreign those threes tonight Allen with 26 point scored 21 of month three pointers. It 73 pointers. Which is a finals record the Celtics with the yeah. With the three ball working everything was working -- the glass which stated so many times during this season they did it tonight again 48 to 29 L rebound the Lakers they just completely -- the Lakers and every facet of the game nineteen turnovers the Lakers which turned into 29 Celtics points. Of course they did on the deep feds have been so much during the entire season their -- story and dirty things and Poppins which they did that again tonight. The Celtics were just -- seven turnovers in this one. It would get all the stats you want the finals record of eighteen steals in one game so many records set. But the most important thing is that standard number seventeen it's the first NBA championship in 22 years for the Celtics. And -- suffered through so much in these past 22 years when you look back guided of course. The death of land by his Sid and Reggie Lewis in all.

And it just extended in here to game six when you play 26 playoff games but this team went through so much during the entire season overcoming so much adversity and just playing so hard. Throughout the entire season I'm surprised a lot of these guys just didn't collapse when when you know -- Paul in in KG walked up the court with four minutes to go I that there are they just might collectively collapse all that they did --"

[23:35]" I -- want to not I remember this game lightly played a helluva game. What -- run."
