Anybody else wake up with a little extra pep in their step?! Tonight Celtics basketball returns as they hoist Banner 18. The quest for 19 starts tonight against the New York Knickerbockers. There are so many memories and moments from last season that are locked in my basketball brain. I'm waiting to fill it with even more this season. Today feels like a holiday if you love basketball as much as I do.
The Celtics have been slighted since they won banner 18. For a truly dominant team to be torn down, is a travesty. Every other champ gets their flowers. Unlike our Celtics who according to the media had the easiest path to a title. To those people I say I'm sorry this team was that damn good and kicked everyone's butts in both the regular and post season. Motivation for this team should be through the roof...
Let's not forget how the Olympic team slighted JB by not even having him on the roster. They put JT on the roster only to sit him on the bench and watch as the team full of divas won gold. If I am the Jays I'm going scorched earth the entire season. They hate us cuz they ain't us. I expect MVP caliber seasons from both players on both sides of the court. Along with the Jays most of last year's deep roster returns. Especially the defensive dynamic backcourt of Jrue Holiday and Derrick White. Two of my personal favorites!
I can't wait for tonight to see how the journey towards Banner 19 unfolds. Personally I expect this team to be awesome and eventually raise Banner 19 and become the first team in a while to go Back to Back.
PS I freaking love Joe Mazzulla!
From a personal note I'd like to remember my Yia Yia (Greek Grandmother) as she passed away a few weeks ago after 93 years on this earth. When you talk about a life well lived, she could have written a book. I love you Yia and Memory Eternal.
C Us Rise! Bleed Green! Celtic Pride! Nineteen is Green!
