πππ£π'π€ βππ¨π€πππ₯π₯ππ£ πππͺ πππ₯π, ππππ The Boston Celtics and the Art of Moving On by Mark James McDonough Itβs April 2013 and the Celtics are playing their first home game of the playoffs against the New York Knicks. The Knicks hadnβt won a playoff game in something like ten years but theyβre heading into Boston up 2-0. Iβm annihilated drunk off of 173 dollar Garden beers and sit hopelessly as a middling New York team destroys the Cβs. Garnett and Pierce are on the team but Jeff Green is our leading scorer. Ray Allen, who helped Boston take the Heat to the brink in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals, is now in Miami and a few weeks away from hitting the greatest shot in NBA Finals history. Itβs beginning to set in that the Big Three era is officially over and thatβs only accentuated by the fact that Iβm able to move down to almost courtside during the third quarter. The fans had left. We lose the series. 2008 was five long years ago.
