Fiallen Game 1
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 Celtics Open Practice is never anything all that exciting, but we still decide to go every year by the time it rolls around, because we are just so darned excited for the season to start. The excitement was only increased by the NBA lockout.
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.
Fiallen Game 23
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!
Fiallen Game 22
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!
