Wednesday, April 5th: Washington Wizards

Final Score: Washington 108 Boston 91

My first Celtics game as a 27 year old girl. So of course everything was a little different this time.

The game started at 7 not at 7:30 and I am glad I realized in the afternoon otherwise I would have been too late.

It was still bright out when I arrived at the Garden which absolutely confused me for a second.

Baseball season started last weekend so the few people who actually cared about the Celtics before are now probably busy rooting for the Red Sox. ( plus it will now be even more difficult to find a bar that shows the Celtics games booo )

Everything seemed to be different.
Well I guess nothing had really changed.
The Celtics lost.
Why?
Because of him


He was just unbelievable last night. Or did he just look soo good because our players didn't????

Delonte just could not keep up with Gilbert. Orien tried and did a good job but then somehow ended up on the bench again.
I just don't really know what to say about the game or the team in general right now.
The Celtics just aren't playing very well at the moment.
There is Lafrentz who obviously is too busy complaining about the coach instead of taking the ball to the hoop.
There is Gomes...well I don't know what happened. After all the hype about him things are rather quiet now.
There is Perkins. I love him but like Perkolator Joe said last night, he seems to be pressured by the fact that an entire section is cheering for him now. He hasn't really done much lately.( even though I liked his dunk last night )
Then there is Gerald. Everyone is excited about him getting more minutes. I have to admit I am still amazed by his windmill dunk and whenever I get the chance I watch it over and over and over and over again but at the end of the day he is still very young and ..well he can't win the games all by himself.
Then there is Pierce. He is still being Pierce but for some reason we only get to see him with a towel wrapped around his head sitting on the bench most of the time lately. I know, I know..we are trying to give the young guys the opportunity to learn more about the game but still. I am not too excited about the way games are "coached" right now.

There is only one hope right now...only one thing I am looking forward to ( and I am not talking about the beer or the horrible pretzels )

Tony! Tony! Tony!
He is becoming so much better every single game. At the beginning of the season I was so nervous and covered my eyes whenever he touched the ball. Now I am actually screaming: GIVE IT TO TONY at least 5 times a game. He has impressed me a lot lately.

Gosh!!! Come on. I know the season is almost over and well we obviously won't make it to the Playoffs anymore but I still want to enjoy the games. All of us, the fans, the people watching all your games want to see some wins. We want to be proud of our team.
COME ON GUYS!!!!!
