I know you guys probably hate it, but the 3:30 ET match time makes it possible for us poor Europeans to be be people tmrrw instead of zombies
Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

It’s part of why I love the earlier weekend games, even living near Boston.

lol gotta love Joe's dry humor. I still remember when he was introduced at the press conference, a reporter said "Brad said he had no doubt that you're the right man for this job" and Joe said:

"Brad had a concussion when he said that" :lol:
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

It occurs to me that they're close enough in frame that Dad could rock a genuine game-worn son jersey, if he chose.

Ya know -- the Celtics swept the first round last year, and were still too tired by the end of the playoffs.

I.e., they know every game matters.

I was very disappointed with the Celtics at home last year in the playoffs. Felt like every big road win the Celtics got they followed up with laying an egg at home particularly failing in the clutch.

They have got to be better this season and need to finish series early if the opportunity presents itself.

I don’t see the Celtics losing many games this postseason. I got them going 16-7. Hope I am right. Let’s Go Celtics!!!!!!

Celtics going with single big starting lineup. Timelord off the bench. Just don’t give up too many ORebs, we’ll be fine.

As long as there is life, there is a potential; and as long as there is a potential, there will be a success! Get your hopes up, get your faith up, look up, and get ready to rise up. Setbacks and disappointments prepare you for greater success in life. Get ready to rise up out of the ashes. New levels are coming. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NAME ON THE FRONT OF THE JERSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(!)
