Man, I can't tell you how hyped I am for this year's Playoffs. Gonna be a good one, guaranteed.

I can't wait for:
• Return of Leon Powe and KG
• KG and Starbury playing together
• Starbury to get hot and win a game or two for us
• Mikki Moore getting hot
• BANNER 18!!!

Discuss anything related to the Celtics and the Playoffs.

I just watched game one of last years final last night...
It gave me shivers watching it...and it also made me realise how much I have missed watching KG in action lately...man, this is what I am calling, and have been telling everyone who wanted to listen...

KG >= 80% health mixed with the guys right now = We can beat anyone. 

I honestly believe that.  The intensity he brings to this team is unrivaled, both defensively & offensively. 
I cannot wait to see my Celtics in action, especially how everyone has written us off.
1-2-3...Ubuntu!

[HYPE.]

I can't believe we are still the underdogs for these '09 Playoffs. We deserve just as much respect as the other top contending teams. Come June, we're gonna prove to all the doubters and non-believers that we could take the cake back-to-back.

This is one of my favorites. Bob Cousy's last game. Note how little pressure Tommy feels while shooting FT's. 1963

TP xmuscularghandix. My heart was beating out of my chest watching those videos. I want us to win this year so much more than last year. I want us to prove the whole league wrong.

And the thing is, with all this skepticism, what if? What if they do win? With the Lakers so hyped, the Cavs so hyped, Marbury being in green, banged up going in. This one would be even more sweet, nostalgia aside.

Thats the way its always been. all the other teams with the younger, faster, better players are picked to win while the team that actually has won is the underdog. Always the underdogs.

[HYPE.]

The thing that just boggles my mind is experts pick contending team over the actual defending champions. Underdogs once again. It's all good, though, because we all know the underdogs always come out on top.
