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!!
Rondo getting his awards
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!
