So here’s the deal. There was this 11-year-old boy named Allan who was screwing around on a golf course with his buddy. Only his third time golfing, Allan dropped a ball into a hole 150 yards away on one shot. Yeah, that’s an ace. A hole-in-one. The full-court shot of golf.
Funny thing is, the kid didn’t know what he did was so special. Not because he’s 11 and had only golfed twice before. No. He didn’t know it was so special because his parents raised him in a fucking box.
Want proof?
Allan was mum about his hole-in-one when he got home, and never told his mom, Karen, about it. “I didn’t even know what a hole-in-one was,” she said. “We’re not golf people.”

Editor’s Note: This instant analysis was written while the shit was still fresh in my pants.
Absolutely unreal.
The Boston Celtics collected themselves for just that — a collective team effort to complete the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history in a momentum-shifting Game 4.
It came from James Posey’s clutch three-point shooting. It came from Eddie House’s remarkable floor spacing, forcing the Lakers to cover all five positions. It came from Kevin Garnett, posting up on the block and grabbing 11 rebounds. It came from Paul Pierce’s tremendous lock down defense on Kobe Bryant, effectively shutting down the MVP. And it came from Ray Allen’s nine rebounds and game-clinching layup.
No Big Three. No Big Powe. No Big Perkins. The House-Allen-Posey-Pierce-KG became the Big Five that overcame a 24-point first-half deficit as one unit.
Now, instead of facing a 2-2 series against a perfect 11-0 Laker squad at home, the Celtics took a pivotal 3-1 lead in the series, with two games back at the Garden if necessary.

Quick post game reaction:
Obviously, the Boston Celtics shit out bricks tonight. Make all the star-studded-Hollywood bright-light-blinding clichés you want. Speculate that Pierce and Co. threw a premature victory party, running ramped through the streets of Inglewood. Do whatever justifies the frustration watching two different Celtics teams, a tale of two coasts. But what Game 3 came down to was a few questionable Doc Rivers moments, when a still-salvageable game was on the line.
