This Already?

Wait a minute… are we really going to have to go through all this NOW?

The Celtics have gone from lovely Rome to dreary lovely London for a friendly little game of basketball… and a ton of hype over playing the Timberwolves.  Well… maybe “ton” is overstating it a little… but there will be hype… and it will be there sooner than I care to hype this thing up.  Hell… I’m just starting to enjoy the Big 3, Gap Band, GPA 3.0 (I give up) era.  I don’t want to see Al Jefferson again. It’s just too soon.

Look… this is the break-up we didn’t want to happen… but now that we went through it… we realize it was for the best.  But you don’t want to be walking in the mall with your new flame and bump into your old girlfriend a couple months later… no matter how great the new relationship is.  It just stirs up old feelings that you aren’t willing to deal with yet.

And to make it all better…. they’re all staying in the same hotel.  At least the game is going to be in the most awesomest place on earth.  That O2 arena looks amazing.  It had better be… because Rome looked awesome.  Now the shot of Ray, Paul and KG sipping Cappucino and eating biscotti will be replaced by the three of them in long rain coats… eating fish & chips off a newspaper.  Yay, London!
