It was one year ago today that we brought home the championship.  I remember the feeling like it was yesterday.  I couldn't sleep all night.  I want that feeling back NOW!!!!

We'll get it back this time next year.

I had brought my dad to the clincher.

I rememember walking in the arena that night and there was just that sense among the crowd that the series was ending that night.  We smelled blood in the water and we sure were right.  The "Na Na Na" chant in the 4th quarter gave me goosebumps and people were hugging and laughing well before the final buzzer sounded.  My father had brought in a couple of cigars and we channeled our inner Red right there inside the Garden (with many others doing the same).

Just an awesome night and I'd love to relive again next year.

Sounds great, wish I was there.

What made that day special for me, was that I was at a friends house (the one with HD and the big screen, lol), and there were alot of Laker fans there, including my family(i know, yuck!). By the end of the 3rd qtr there was nothing but green jerseys, green hawaiian punch, hypnotiq with hennessey and redbull(which turns green, ;D ), and a couple of "Green Cigars" being lit. Not to mention it was the first championship I got to watch live. I was a 1 year old last time they won.

Yes, I agree with you.

Great videos, great memories. We may have lost this year and I don't know what the future holds for the Celtics but it's amazing how I can rejoice again and again when I watch the videos or pictures from last year, as if I find back the feeling that "we have just done it" everytime I look back at these memories. It's cool and it says a lot about this team, his place in history is already made, but of course another championship would be great... what about banner #18 on the 18th june 2010?

I think I have to watch game 6 again tonight.  What a great night.

I can't wait for next year.
