Like many games of late, the C’s start wicked slow, finally make a big run to make it a game (and exciting) and then lose.  We had a great time at the game though, mostly.  A few Tebow fans behind us  had to be reminded that they were at an NBA game, and if they weren’t into basketball (why were they here?), they should realize they were in Patriot country.  They left early.

We were lucky enough to see another Celtics W.  Brandon Bass was a great pick-up!  Super fun to watch.

We saw the C’s first W of the season for our first game of the season.  It was also Paul’s first game back.  The announcer at the game got to tell the crowd, as the news said he wouldn’t be playing.  The crowd went crazy.  The picture of Quisy below from warm-ups came out pretty cool.  We were at the scary game where he got hurt so bad.  We like having him back.

The Green versus White scrimmage was fun.  There was a flurry of last second scoring and lead changes, culminating in an Avery Bradley 3 for the win.

The item of note this year, is that when they went through the whole roster and announced everybody, they didn’t mention Jeff Green – we definitely noticed and wondered what was up. The news wasn’t released until later about his heart condition.  We will definitely miss him this season.  We like him.

After watching Wade break Rondo previously, we no longer held out much hope for our postseason, but we were prepared to go and be a part of a good Garden crowd one last time this season.  Turns out, we almost stole one more game from the Heat we had no reason winning. But by the final minutes, the Celtics had the loss, and we knew we had probably seen our last game this year – and maybe for two years if the NBA and the Players Association can’t sort out their issues. 

Also, Arroyo doesn’t understand Celtic ways. At halftime, during a playoff game, he was over chatting it up with his old teammates and shooting hoops on their side, warming up with them! Unbelievable. Ray Allen finally pulled him away – I only wish it was KG who corralled him. Unbelievable. Video of that below. I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes.

We have new seats next season (whenever that will be), but we really enjoyed Section 330, seats 9 and 10 – especially our neighbors!  Go Celtics!

(The Heat finally changed their starting lineup.)

We had tickets to Round 1 Game 1 of the Playoffs this year.  There were more Knicks fans present than anticipated – and they were a bit aggressive and vocal for the regular Garden crowd.  It was awesome that the Celtics got the win to back up the Garden fans mouths in the stands.  Way too many Carmelo Anthony jerseys there.

We wore our new Celtics gear we got from Thadd for Christmas!  Thanks Thadd – we love it!!

After the game we headed over to our favorite pub and worked on our mug cards.  A good night!

We didn’t bring the camera to this game, but the Celtics brought their defense.  Another one in the win column, 99-82.

We had to sell tickets to a game while we were in New Orleans and this was our last regular season game.  It was good to see a win.
