The pressure is still on the Celtics to win Game 7 on Monday Night, the pressure to be the first to four, the pressure to finish this chapter in their quest to finish their story of winning banner 18. I said this was going to 7 because people forget, the Miami Heat were the number 1 seed last season and just had a bad regular season for whatever the reasons. The Heat have proven to be a tough, well coached, defensive team. The Celtics still have moments of being a play when we feel like it, live or die by the make or miss three point team. We’re also watching the growth of a first year head coach, 34 year old, Joe Mazzulla, develop and learn, under the magnifying glass of national TV.
