Last time I did this turned into a nightmare - Game 7 2010, you know the one.
No Thanks. Go Celts.
and we choked that game away in the 4th, shoulda won. blew the lead. I blame doc rivers 100%. That was way worse than losing in 1985. yeah we shoulda repeated in 85 but that was a great lakers team and well magic hit that hook which was a great shot. we did not fold in 85 like 2010 late.
I never watched that 4th quarter until months later - I was too nervous, just kept up with the score online that horrible day. All we needed was a couple of baskets and a couple of rebounds. Still my most painful Celtics loss of all time, 2nd place belonging to the 1973 Game 7 ECF vs Knicks and the Magic Johnson shot you mentioned, which was actually Game 4, 1987, after we blew a 15-point lead and then McHale fumbles a missed free throw rebound out of bounds to set up Johnson's shot. People don't remember that mishandled rebound. We had the game...... oh, don't get me started ................
I will be picking up my xanex script and a bottle of Crown after work tomorrow - It's sad I know, but it's the only way I can watch these important games any more. After all these years, my nerves are shot. Just don't have the tolerance for pain I once had. Maybe we'll be ok and I won't need too much assistance to get through the game. Be great if the Celts would get a good start tomorrow night.
