It won't be easy, especially if LeBron James puts on the same kind of performance that he did in Game 6, but the Celtics are going to South Beach ready to move on.
They're so ready, in fact, that the C's are set to "pack for a week," as a whiteboard in the locker room said late Thursday night. If Boston were to win Game 7 on Saturday night in Miami, they would then head straight to Oklahoma City where the Thunder is waiting in the Finals.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers said after the game that even though the Celtics are down right now, they're not out.
"The whole locker room was down," he said. "But you can see their resolve in the locker room. They're not just going to pack for Sunday. They're going to bring suits for Tuesday, and they're going to bring suits for Thursday. And that's the way we're going to do it."
Pack for a week.

And this should end the "Call Me Maybe" craze. Hopefully.
