Am I being pessimistic to think this is the Sixers night? I love the Celtics, I know nobody who is a bigger fan than me (though I am sure most of you would argue that point ;-))
I am going into this game tonight somewhat sad because I really believe this may be the final game of one of the greatest groups the Celtics have ever had (I speak of Pierce with Garnett and Allen and Rondo). While Allen is not having much success, I cannot forget how clutch he was in years past. Pierce is truly our captain and we live or die with him. Rondo can be the best [dang]ed point guard on the planet sometimes and KG is just...KG. I love these guys.
As a Celtics fan, I am aware I am supposed to dislike the 76ers, but I never have been able to. Our rivalry with them - to me - has always been enjoyable but never "nasty" like it is for me with the Lakers (or more recently the Heat). I do not want the Sixers to win, but if they do I will be very happy for them.
Perhaps this is just nerves and pessimism I don't know, but I really cannot come up with a scenario in my head where the Celtics pull this off tonight. It almost seems like this team needs to go out with a whimper, somehow that almost seems correct.
Don't get me wrong - I will be rooting for them all night and will be optimistic when the game begins because I know - as we all do - that when the Celtics play their game, *nobody* can beat them. But I think we may have a lot more heart on this team with not quite enough wind left in the sails.
I will be the happiest guy in the room if I am proven wrong.
GO CELTICS!
