i know i know, i'm a month late. ever since i got back from the cruise, i haven't gotten back to my normal routine. my blogging has suffered, so pretty much my next few blogs will be playing catch up on recent news and such. but anyways, back to the celtics. HELL YEAH!!!!!! FINALLY! first championship since '86. everyone whose known me for a long time knows that i'm a die hard boston celtics fan. ever since i was kid. in the philippines, all they showed were lakers and celtics games. my brothers and my dad sided with the lakers, naturally i went with the celtics. i've been there with them thru thick and thin. first seeing the celtics win in 84 against the lakers; seeing them lose to the lakers in 85 & 87; a championship win against the rockets in 86; len bias drafted to be the next francise leader for the team, but dying soon afterwards; reggie lewis collapsing during a game and dying a couple of months afterwards; bad luck with dino radja, eric montross, dominique, kenny anderson, rick pitino; and tearing down the old garden. they finally made the eastern conference finals in 2002 with antoine walker and paul pierce and that gave me lots of hope for the team. sure enough, it finally paid off this year with a win over the LAKERS!!! even though we had to trade for ray allen and k.g. who wanted to throw away individuality for team unity to win a ring, having to show the best season turnaround in history, and to make this season the greatest NBA championship story to be told. Its GREAT TO BE A CELTIC FAN right about now! (sucks that i saw almost every single game in the playoffs except for the all important game 6 of the finals 'cause i had to work that night on the cruise. i had to watch the game and all the celebration on a championship dvd that i just bought)
