Did we really win the other night?? We did, didn't we!!!
WOW! I didn't expect that.

Celtics are finally back in town. I can't wait for the first homegame this year.

Oh no!!!

This roadtrip is turning into a nightmare. I was hoping it would be a good chance for the youngsters to step up and play some good basketball. I guess I was wrong. It is painful to watch not only because the games are on so late but also because I just can't stand seeing them lose like that.

OH NO!!!

Wednesday, December 20th: Golden State

We were one pass away from winning 6 games in a row!!!

Just one pass.
I think when you are surrounded by two players and you see another one coming you should pass. I think it is not a good idea to actually try a spinning move while you are surrounded by 3 players trying to stop you.

Just a thought....

December 15th: Denver Nuggets

Final Score: Celtics 119 Nuggets 114

What a great ballgame.
I just got home from the Garden and I am just absolutely hyped. Tonight was a special night in many ways and I just enjoyed every minute of it.

What an amazing first quarter right? I was a little surprised about the starting line up but it seemed to work out just fine.
And the most amazing thing is: THE OLD TONY ALLEN IS BACK!! The Tony Allen we all saw at the end of last season. HE HAS RETURNED!!! He jumped. He dribbled ( and did NOT lose the ball) He dunked..oh how beautifully he dunked.

He made me jump up so many times. So did Big Al!!! He had yet another amazing game. Once the Nuggets had figured out how amazing our Big guy really was they started double teaming him and suddenly the game got really close.

The Celtics won! The crowd was proud. I was proud. People were excited. Once the crazy Melo groupies stopped screaming I could actually hear people say: "That was the best game I have ever been to." Well, I wouldn't go THAT far and obviously those people haven't been to many games in their lives but the truth is, it was fun to watch and the Celtics played well. I won't even mention how the refs ruined an amazing finish for the Celtics. The crowd was on fire we were winning but then it just got nasty...but let's not talk about that right now.

I WAS ON THE JUMBOTRON, ON CELTICSVISION FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER TONIGHT...EVER IN EVER.
Alright, you could only see my face in the corner but hey, I made it.
Another thing that made me smile was the SEAT UPGRADE of the night. At every Celtics game a lucky member of the audience gets better seats. Tonight 2 of the former Buckets/Perkolators were chosen. I actually jumped up when I saw them on the screen. It brought up good old memories. Lodge 6 is not the same without the guys but I am glad to see some of them still make it to the Garden.


We seriously won 4 in a row. 4 in a row can you believe it?? Wohooo!!!


Notes:

A Celtics Dancers Diary is NOT necessary. I really don't care what Alexis' favorite holiday destination is!!

*humming* I believe Tony can fly

Ask the Celtics a question cracked me up tonight..Who is the best dressed Celtic?? I was laughing so hard about the answers the guys gave.

Carmelo Anthony really impressed me tonight. He is not only an amazing player and his fade away shot is just beautiful but he also seems to be a good team player and tries to be a good leader to his team. It also looked like he and Pierce enjoyed playing against each other. It was fun to watch!! I LOVED IT!

I am glad so many people show up to the games. I really hope the Garden will never be as empty as the Sixers arena was the other night. That was a depressing sight.

I guess my CELTICS FREE LIFE aka WORK has been taking over too much lately. I really must have missed something.. WHERE OH WHERE IS KENDRICK?????

December 9th: New Jersey

Boy, did we need this win!!!







I really needed this win. Rivers needed this win. The players definitely needed this win.
I have to admit I have been ignoring the Celtics a little bit. I just couldn't stand seeing them lose anymore.
Tonight however, I decided to give them another chance and watched the game. It almost made me sick to see them down by 20. I couldn't take it much longer and didn't really watch the game anymore.
I actually couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Paul's buzzer shot. It seriously took me about a minute to realize we had actually won the game.

Oh yes, we all needed that win and we sure do need another one!!!

December 1st: Toronto Raptors

I successfully forgot about Wednesday night's disaster and was ready to move on.

Another night, new game, new chance to win.
Pretty much ever Celtics player had a new haircut tonight. One would think shorter hair would make you run faster and maybe it would help you to finally win games and impress fans. Well, truth is, getting a haircut doesn't improve your game at all.

Celtics lose again..how frustrating.
WHO IS TO BLAME??? The barber? The coach? The players? Chris Bosh?? The unbelievably loud Toronto crowd? The weather?

Oh I just don't know anymore.

Let me tell you a story...

A long time ago there was a very prestigious and successful team. Every day they brought joy and excitement to millions of people all over the world. Even when the success started to fate the team's name managed to live on. For years people have been telling each other about the glory days of this team now.

One day the almighty ruler Danny Ainge decided to bring back those glory days and to become the number one team in the country again. He had to come up with a plan. His plan was to support his First knight Paul Pierce with rather inexperienced knights in order to make them the best team of knights that ever existed.

His plan wasn't too bad. He sent out his scouts to gather talented knights. He found them. He found fast ones. He found tall ones. He found aggressive ones.

They all knew their job was to support Paul "the first knight" Pierce.
Danny Ainge decided to let Doc Rivers be the leader. "Doc, guide them." Danny said.

Along the way something went wrong.
Doc Rivers somehow forgot to tell those young knights were their positions were.
The young ones were confused.
"Am I supposed to be the powerforward? Am I supposed to be the center? Am I supposed to be the pointguard? WHAT AM I???"

Doc Rivers just couldn't decide on who should play which part in this team. All he knew was Pierce is our main man. He knows his role. So Rivers started to experimenting.
"Let's try this lineup"
(two seconds later )
"Oh no wait..let's change it."
(three seconds later)
"No wait, this could work out."
(one second later)
"Okay I guess it's not working out either. Just let Pierce handle things."

Pierce managed to save the confused team several times. He somehow managed to lead his team to victory.

But what happened to the young knights? Young kids who went on a mission to become a prestigious team again but somehow got lost along the way. They ended up in an identity crisis. They weren't sure about themselves anymore. They didn't know their role and slowly all their talent vanished because they were too busy adjusting to the new role they were given every night.

What a sad story..
Fact is I don't care what happened on Friday and I definitely won't mention it ever again. No seriously I won't ever talk about how Curry destroyed us and how at some point in the third quarter I was starting to get dizzy from all the changing of the lineup. Fact is I am glad Pierce and the team managed to come back last night after tailing by 15 points. I am glad the kept Redd in line and I am glad they won.
But seriously, all this doesn't even matter to me right now.

All that matters is WE HAVE TO BEAT THE NETS ON WEDNESDAY!! We just have to..
