We’ve all had those life-changing phone calls: ”I’m pregnant!” or “The test came back negative.” Today I received a call worthy of this category:
Hey Chuck, it’s John. I got free luxury-suite tickets to tonight’s game. You in?
That’s right….the blue-collar boys of Red’s Army will be hobnobbing with the suits tonight! And we’ll be wearing these green goofy t-shirts courtesy of Reebok.
And leave it to Bob Ryan to calm everyone down. He just posted a great blog detailing several instances where the Celtics were tied 2-2 in a series with lesser teams. Here are the examples:
1972 — 56-26 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 36-46 Hawks.
1973 — 68-14 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 46-36 Hawks.
1974 — 56-26 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 42-40 (Buffalo) Braves
1976 — 54-28 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 46-36 Braves
1976 — 54-28 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 49-33 Cavs
1976 — 54-28 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 42-40 Suns
1981 — 62-20 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 40-42 Rockets
1984 — 62-20 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 47-35 Knicks
Thanks Bob…we needed that.
ill be there is section 306 wearing my pierce jersey, green celtic pride cape, green wig and green top hat making a scene…. THE HAWKS CANT FLY IN THIS GARDEN….. lets go celts.. FUCK THE HAWKS
Can you start a chant from a suite?
I’ll be there too. I’ll be sporting a goofy Larry Bird shirt.
Hate to say this is a must-win game, because the C’s can still win the series if they go down 3-2, but I can’t see the C’s winning #17 if they have to comeback to beat the Hawks in 7.
There will be blood tonight.
I bleed green…. we sure as hell will try.
You know…. I’m an average guy…. but I get the feeling I’m going to feel like Larry the Cable Guy in there.
well u sure can’t count on history for anything as for ATL will make Celtics history. Difference between Celtics and LAKERS we have killer instincts you guys lets your opponents have life in them
