When I joined CB back in August of 2007, I never imagined what a ride this would be. If not for injuries, these Celts would be a team you mention when you talk about the greatest teams ever. I really believe that. And I don't think that's hyperbole when you think back to KG's injury or the way Perk went down. In both instances it broke our spirits and in the end we were just too spent to take it any further. Again, I don't think that's making excuses or anything, it's just explaining it how it is: If not for injuries, these Pierce/Garnett/Allen-led Celts would be named among the greatest teams ever. That's quite a feat.
No matter what happens in Game 7 they have proved the doubters (looking at you, ESPN) wrong time and again. They are warriors and I am so proud of them. So proud.
