I was a Tanker until we got IT. I changed immediately we had a chance so I cannot apologize for being a Tanker. You could say I flipped and flopped.

At the very beginning of the season with Rondo coming back from injury I predicted the team would make the playoffs then the season began and the team just did not play well. Rondo was worse than is usual self, and Green was more of the same. I went into full Tank mode.

When DA got rid of Rondo I spent the first couple of weeks looking to follow Rondo on Dallas games, but it became evident that while Rondo's 'magic' did not translate to the Mavericks something was happening with the Celtics.  Players were developing and the hustle and grit of Crowder together with Prince were improving the Cs game. CBS was also coming into his own as a big time NBA coach. I already knew Zeller could play so his play was not surprising. I campaigned for Bass to be unshackled. The games got more interesting, but I did not become a true believe again until Danny flipped those Maverick rejects for IT4.

A couple of games with IT4 and I was on board again. Now the playoffs are upon us and I see clearly now why in the immortal words of Coach Edwards 'you play to win the game'. It is exciting anything can happen and waiting for more games is far more exciting than waiting for the Draft.

What were your feelings at different stages of the season, what are your feelings now, if your feelings about the team's fortunes changed when did they change and why?

GO CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
