W – Celtics (105) v Knicks (101)

Tonight was our first regular season attendance.  Some fun things we saw:

  • The new hype machine (didn’t quite get the first few seconds on the video – we’ll do better next game)
  • The new intros (Josh really misses KG‘s old yell)
  • Before the game Rondo received awards for leading the league in steals last year and for being 1st team All-Defense.
  • Rondo‘s career high assists (24).  This is second highest for a Celtics record (Cousy had 28).  See all 24 here.
  • Rondo had a triple-double 24-10-10, and the 24 assists are a NBA record in a triple-double (tied with Isiah Thomas (and his was in a 2OT game).
  • We saw Baby sing Tik Tok – it was amazing.  You too can enjoy it, here.
  • We saw The Captain bring down 14 boards (the first time since KG and Ray came to town).
  • A WIN! (105-101)

We love Grandpa Celtic!

And so do these guys! They dressed up as him for Halloween!!

We’ll get a full video next game – but this was good!

Our new intro:

The Garden was loud – the ticket holders in front of us sit there with their ears plugged. 🙂 Poor guys.

Despite letting the Knicks keep it close, the Captain had ice in his veins and closed it out.

24-10-10!!!

And we did feel welcome!
