Hey all, first time posting, at least that I remember, long time Celtics fan ( well, since early 90's so not THAT long), long time fan of this site.
Anywyay let me get my rant out of the way: I gotta say how very displeased I am with the NBA's way of ripping people off into paying for as many bogus media services as possible. I am originally from New England, but moved to California in 2009, so I subscribe to League Pass to follow my beloved Celtics. Tonight's game was scheduled for League Pass. But because fans voted it as a highly anticipated game, it is now a blackout, and is only available for the 83 people who get NBA TV. I was really looking forward to this game!!! Now I can't see it! Add this to the growing list of technical difficulties I encounter with League Pass everytime I use it... ugghh it all comes down to money with the NBA. I wonder if the new NBA commissioner will listen to public advice unlike the last one, though he did many wonderful things for the league obviously.
On to more useful talk... I can't wait to hear how Rondo does tonight (our first "national TV" Rondo night of the year!), and I really hope Sully takes it to Bosh and boxes him out all night (along with Hump, who has been so very solid most of this season). Bradley better stay on Ray, and maybe Olynyk can get a few easy baskets. Jeff Green seems to wake up for the big games, so we'll see about that too.
Let me also say what a pleasure it has been to watch the C's this season, even though we ripped much of the heart out of the team last summer, the writing was on the wall, and it's been a lot of fun rooting for these youngsters. Rondo = C's Captain for life! Especially happy with Sully, Bradley and Hump this year, and Pressey has started to be very solid. Love this site too, love all the different opinions. Sorry for the long post, so... LET'S GO CELTICS! BEAT THE HEAT!! DEFENSE!!!!!
