If there's one good thing about this, it's that Red is not here to see it.
And it would NOT have happened if Red HAD been here.
This sucks.
I just tuned in and missed the pre-game. I assume there was a tribute to KG and PP. I'd appreciate if you (or someone) could provide a quick synopsis of the pre-game and crowd response.
I see you got a previous run-down ... they were both clearly choked up.
I'm trying, trying, TRYING, to watch this game, NG, but to see these two guys in this building without green on ... it's killing me.
They just chanted "KG - KG - KG" when he sat down ... jeez, man, call me a sap, I'm having big trouble with this.
Don't think I'll make it through watching this entire game.
They'd better find some way to retire these guys in Boston ... honestly don't care what it takes.
Yeah, I know it's all "good business", I know all the "upsides", but I say screw the upsides and good business, player loyalty is worth more to me than any of the justifications.
That's my opinion ... let me choke on it.
You aren't alone in feeling a sense of loss in seeing KG and Pierce tonight. It's more than strange -- there is a feeling that it just isn't right. I am not unhappy about the trade from a future perspective; but as for the present it is very hard to watch these guys not in green.
That said, it was an absolute pleasure to watch them play as Boston Celtics. They personify a Celtic era -- a lasting tribute.
