Round 2, Game 3: Celtics v Cavs

When you go to so many games, you get to witness history.

We saw Game 5 of the 2008 ALCS.  “The comeback of the Red Sox from a seven-run deficit is the second-biggest in postseason history, the largest since Game 4 of the 1929 World Series, and the largest ever for a team on the brink of elimination.” (Thanks Wikipedia)

We saw Rondo pass Cousy for the most assists in a season (Celtics record).

OK, I’m struggling to finish this post – (I just want to move on and forget this game already) so maybe I’ll come back and fill in the other random history we’ve witnessed at a later date.

But tonight we witnessed the worst playoff home loss in Celtics history.  (124-95).  It was brutal.  No defense.  And LeBron put on a Try-Out performance for Jay-Z’s team, as he was in attendance with Beyonce – dressed like it was a Lakers game.  Blech.

We thought we still had chance here (at tip-off):

Jay-Z and Beyonce for LeBron’s try out:

A little reminder to us that we have had it good:

It’s sad when a highlight of the night is getting to see our old friend Leon play… for the other team… in garbage time.  🙁
