Celtics happy to be rid of Bulls
They’re glad it’s over.
Celtics players expressed relief to be done with the Bulls tonight following their 109-99 win in Game 7 at TD Banknorth Garden.
“It was definitely the toughest one that I’ve been a part of,” said Ray Allen. “They gave us everything that we could handle. I told Rondo after the game that they were probably the toughest match up that we’ve had you know, if I go back to even last year, because they have guys that, one, two, three, are capable of scoring 40 a night. It definitely put a crunch on our defense.”
Said Paul Pierce, “I think this probably was one of the most mentally tough series that I’ve had to deal with. I mean, after every playoff series that I’ve ever been through, I mean, of course you’re going to have your emotional highs and lows. But, when you lose that game and you go home — I thought some of my lows were a little too low…I haven’t took it this hard in a while in a playoff series like I did in this series.”
