Worst of the Year

[Redz]

I'm generally Mr. Positive here, but I've been so flooded with Happy Thoughts I thought it might be a nice exercise to recall some of the very few moments this season that really pained me.

I threw up some ideas.  There were just a few that really bothered me. 

Picking one, I'd say Game 4 in Atlanta.  I gave the C's a "mulligan" in Game 3, but really had fully expected them to win that one.  I never felt they'd lose that series, but I sure felt they could have made it easier on themselves if they could have just clamped down for a few more minutes.  By the time Game 6 rolled around the Hawks had it in their heads they could win at home.

#2 on my list would be the loss to Charlotte at home.  That one just bugged me.  The Celts never got over the hump against a team they clearly should have beaten.  For whatever reason Charlotte gave them a couple of good games.  In terms of having a team take it to the C's at the Garden that game falls second only to the thrashing the Jazz gave the C's all season and playoffs. 

Anyhow, not too shabby!

hey redz, i would say the troubles winning on the road in the playoffs. losing two straight to WSH bugged me too, buy most teams, even really good teams, have a team against whom whey struggle for some reason. for us, it was wash and charlotte.

but a #1 seed should not struggle like that, and it really bugged me that we did that. but it is all good now, no worries, your pessimistic thread not withstanding!

I have no recollection of any of those things happening.  It's all happy thoughts from here.

I think it's a tie between the game 4 loss in Atlanta and the game 6 loss in Atlanta. I felt confident that the Celtics were going to win going into game 4 & 6. We had a big lead in each game and blew it. Losses to Washington was bad, too. The only regular season losses that bothered me.

Yeh, I guess that was more of a cumulative thing so I looked for one particularly frustrating night.

How `bout those 18 straight losses though, huh?   

While I'm jarring up bad memories during this joyous time let's go there.

Or the time I caught myself in my zipper - definitely the worst of the year

I chose game5 because it was the great game of Paul Pierce. It was also his best game to clinch the finals worthy of being handed the MVP.

Winning game 5 will also make it sweeter for all who doesn't favor Celtics.

Has to be the Game 6 loss against the Hawks.  That was the longest series of my life.  I didn't enjoy anything that went on those two weeks.  This loss just extended the absurd purgatory another game.  Thank God Game 7 was an absolute joke, or I might not have made it to see number 17.

I have no bad thoughts from this year.  The Championship has wiped them all away.

The Laker loss.
As beautiful as the home celebration was, seeing Paul be MVP in LA?
That one hurt me the most. Maybe if they had won that one the haters would button it. I heard kornheiser predict that toronto or orlando will prevent us from even winning the east.
next year should be even sweeter

Listening to all the nervous nelly's jumping off the Celtics bandwagon because we lost playoff games on the road, like anyone ever said playoff games were going to be easy.
Pretty shamefull.

Red not being here to see this Championship season, the death of Doc's father, and Ray's son getting diabetes.
