Pray Paul Pierce Doesn't Get Hurt

That was the final announcement given by the new pastor at the 10:30 Mass this morning. We have come a long way when we get to hear just what is on the minds of the parishoners. I am a forever Boston Celtics fan. I even got to see Cooz, Tommy, Russ, Havlicek etc. play. I was fortunate enough to be at the triple overtime game between the Celts and the Suns. I saw people leaving thinking the game was over. Good for us as we moved into the better seats. Then I had season tickets for a decade. Yes, it was during the fabled Bird/Magic Era. We had great seats third row to the right of the basket looking over at the Celtics bench. I can still see ML Carr waving that towel and Larry stealing the ball right in front of us with DJ getting the hoop. Those were the glory days of the big three, Bird, McHale and Parish. Now we have another marvelous three, Pierce, Allen and Garrett with a chance to win our 17th championship. Happy days are here again – GO CELTS/BEAT LA!!!

Deetz! Spoken like a true Garden Rat! I am watching and marveling at the chemistry of the "new" Big 3! They are awesome! Thanks for the words to cheer them on to another banner! Love, Curl

Congratulations on the big win last night. I am not a basketball fan anymore, though I vividly remember those season tickets! I think the sports broadcasters must be right that the NBA needs a successful East Coast team. I haven't seen this much buzz about the NBA in years. Must be a great time to be a Boston fan ...
