I remember when Jeff Green and Wilcox were both lost for the season with heart conditions. If we had those two, i think we would be in the finals right now. Green instead of Pietrus would have been huge.

You're not helping right now.
Besides this season I will cry when KG retires.

Especially because pietrus just a) stands around and doesnt get in transition and b) falls down all the time...I seriously think he still had a concussion in the playoffs. he general body language just was not right.



However, i remember the day Garnett was traded... I was out to dinner with my parents, i had to keep texting friends for updates because this was a pre phone internet era. i remember a lot of things about these last 5 years. too many memories.

I remember a lot from the big 3 era

I remember we traded for Allen and then KG came along.
I remember opening night and killed the Wizards
I remember Pierce vs James game 7 in 2008
I remember seeing the Celtics beat the Pistons in 2008 and went to the finals first time in 20+ years.
I remember game 1 of the Finals, Posey missed the 3 then KG slammed it on Gasol
I remember game 2 Leon exploded for 20 pts
I remember the 24 pt comeback in game 4
I remember the 30+ pt beat down of Lakers in game 6 and then capturing our 17th banner

I remember the next season we went for 22 straight wins
Skipping middle of season because of you know what
I remember Rondo averaging a triple double in the Chicago series

KG came back, won our first game against the Cavs
Beat down the Cavs in 6 games then approached to dispatching the Magics en route to the finals again in 3 years

THANK YOU CELTICS FOR ALL THE GREAT MEMORIES. I still believe in you guys and wish you guys will still stay for one more run!

I would add one more to that list. the "LETS GO CEL-TICS" chant at the end of a game 6 blow out.

I remember clicking the CB bookmark in my browser and seeing this headline:

The Rumor that just won't die.

And I think there was a picture of KG.

Turns out you could switch "rumor" with "team" and that headline could have been the motto for these Boston Celtics.

Always thankful, always appreciative, always a Celtic.
