This isn’t a sympathy digging post but I figured I would share with my C’s brethren.
So twice a year my team at work does an offsite, typically one in NE or NY then the second in the Carolinas (where I live).
This October it was the north’s turn, my boss called me 3 weeks ago making sure I could make it and he said “good, since we know you’re the resident Celtics fan we’re going to get a box” (for the Cavs game on the 29th). He went through all the internal approvals and all that to pay for it although not a basketball guy but knew I would be stoked. Such a cool gesture to go through the hassle at all.
Unexpectedly, he went to the hospital this weekend not feeling well and passed away by Wednesday at only 50 years old. Completely out of the blue. Our existence is far too fragile.
Get your blood checked and go C’s

[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

TBD: Garza, Baylor
OUT: Walsh, Tilman
Tillman OUT? I think that he just needs to get his NBA speed and instincts back.
Garza seems to me to be a shoo-in. I see him being part of our Center by Committee.
Tillman makes Luke Kornet look like Prime Olajuwon.
Kornet is playing like prime Olajuwon right now

Tilman will be fine. He knows how to play. Hampered by injury and getting back to form
