Game 7 in Boston

Back to Boston one final time...and at stake, another turnpike ticket to Detroit.

The guys are relaxed, but focused as we just arrived. I'm sure the Celtics are too...it's the fans and family members who's stomachs are churning already, less than 24 hours away from the Game 7 showdown.

Mike Brown says the approach HAS to be same as any other game, adhering to the job at hand principles. Mike was a Rick Carlisle assistant in '05 when the Pacers came to Beantown and stole Game 7...but he says he recalls very little about it because it doesn't apply to this situation. He says he's not even going to waste the energy to look it up.

The point is, both teams have new chemistry, so, past Game 7's have nothing to do with this one.

Mike was asked if he'll continue to ask for 40 plus minutes from LeBron and Delonte...he said yes..because they'll have part of the summer to rest...Those two wouldn't have it any other way.

One of the things the coaches will remind the guys about, will be never losing their aggression or poise...even when that crowd turns up the pressure...and they do a great job of that here.

Can't wait for this one.
