Pride

[Quinn]

This has been one of the most exciting series I've ever seen.
The Chicago Bulls stepped up their game twelvefold and we didn't expect them to be this good.
To put it simply, I'm proud.
I'm proud of this beaten up, injured Celtics team
I'm proud of them for winning 4/7 without KG or Leon, and a limited Rondo and Pierce.
I'm proud that we can continue on our quest for banner 18
I'm proud to live and die Green.

Congratulations to the most exciting basketball team that I've lived to witness.

This, frankly, is what Celtic Pride is all about.

It dates me, but this reminds me of fighting through in 1973 with Havlicek's shoulder lamed.

Win or lose, this team will play with character.

The series is a testiment to Celtic Pride, and to what it means to step on the court in a C's uniform.

The team definitely showed pride.  They are a far worse team without KG, but they refused to give up.   Proud of Rondo and Perk for stepping up.

This is what Celtics Pride is all about - having a special togetherness as a team and playing together with no hidden agendas ....... the only agenda being to win another championship.

Celtics Pride is also about playing with more mental and physical toughness than anyone else in the league - and this Celtics team has that toughness in spades, just like Bird's teams and Cowens' teams and of course, Bill Russell's teams who showed the ultimate toughness winning the title as heavy underdogs in 1969.
