Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 2733811, member: 1329"] To me, personally, it's more about the way it happens than what happens. The journey not the result. I was entertained that both series went to game 7s and that the "predictable" teams had to win tough games on the road to close it out. If the favorites weren't challenged, I'd agree, and I do wish more of the games were closer throughout in the earlier parts of the series. But the Celtics were favored in game 7 and they forced LeBron to literally go all out. In a sense, greatness is only apparent when it's needed. The old Bill Simmons-told story of Milton Berle just pulling enough out to win: you only get the full experience in times of desperation and great challenge. [/QUOTE]
