Round 1, Game 1: Celtics v Heat



Whoooeeeee! What a game! What a win! (76-85). We yelled the whole game long – my throat is still hoarse.  We will miss KG next game, but what a game!  Also, TA won the 6th man award – then followed up with impressive D on Wade.  What a game.



We got pictures of “The Skirmish” – one is included after the jump.

Celtics v Cavs & Happy Easter

Happy Easter!  We made that fun French Toast Casserole again.  So good.

We also went to the Celtics Cavaliers game!  Some of the crew who was in town for Philip’s shindig was still in town for the game, and they had tickets across the arena from us.  We had ridiculously good seats again.

It was an awesome game.  Such a good win (113-117).  And as our 12th and last regular season game we are attending, our Win Attendance Percentage is .500 – wow.   Their actual Home Win Percentage was .634… I could do a student’s t-test to figure out if our presence was statistically significant in its detrimental effect on the C’s.  But I will keep that to myself.  Let’s see what else can we figure out here.  We attended about 30% of the home games this season, that felt like a good amount – week night games are rough.  We have tickets to some playoff games we are excited about though!

More fun pics after the jump…

Celtics v Rockets & A Gathering of Gs

This was our 11th game of the season. And a tough loss (119-114) especially since it was such a huge game for Rondo tonight.  He passed Celtic’s great Cousy for franchise record assists in a season AND he played an awesome game tonight (5 rebounds, 10 assists, 23 points, 5 steals).

So we had bought tickets for this game before the season started.  Then, our friend came out to celebrate his pre-weddedness  by gathering his boys together for a Celtics game and this game ended up being the night.  The boys got a luxury box that ended up being right across from our original seats and Jeannette and her friend took some paparazzi shots across the court of the guys night out.   It was a fun night, despite the loss.

And yay Rondo!

Celtics v Pacers AKA Dropkick Murphys

Well, our Win Attendance Percentage was dinged tonight by fielder’s choice.  We had tickets to the Celtics game tonight versus the Pacers, which they ended up winning (122-103).  BUT, we also had tickets see the Dropkick Murphys!  These tickets were fairly hard to get, especially so close to St. Patty’s Day and IN Boston!  The concert was super super SUPER fun.  They really get your blood pumping and get everyone riled up with excitement.  I had goosebumps hearing them play!  We really enjoyed it – worth the WAP ding.

As a sidenote, with the Celtics playing so poorly, we couldn’t find ANYONE who to buy the tickets off of us even at a loss.  Our other Celtics-loving friends all had plans, and no one else was interested in a team who loses at home.  So on the way to the show, we stopped off at our new favorite neighborhood bar, Wally’s, and asked if anyone was interested in free tickets (the game started in less than an hour).  One of the bartenders wanted them and was SUPER excited to go – a big C’s fan.  We figured if there was anybody to get in good with, it sure can’t hurt to make nice with the bartender at your new favorite hangout!

Celtics v. Nets

Another L.  To the Nets! It was awful.  (104-96).  Don’t want to remember it.  Drowned our sorrows at Beerworks.
