Late in the 4th quarter last night the C's had just struggled to pull within 10 or so again, and the crowd was back into the game for what turned out to be the last time, and there was a timeout. The Celtics still had an outside chance. The crowd in the balcony started brewing a "Let's - Go - Cel - tics" chant, on its own, without the stupid PA system prompting it. It would've resounded throughout the Garden, and it would've reached the players, and it would've made an impression, i.e., these fans are diehard, they won't quit, even now, they really love us. It might've given the C's a little extra swagger. But they didn't hear it, because the chant was drowned out by the ****ing fancam music. All night, during almost every break, that stupid fancam nonsense. You would think people look at themselves so constantly these days, are so used to having their selfies seen by thousands, that they wouldn't care so much about the fancam. Nope. They care even more! At the end of an elimination playoff game, after a run to get us within striking distance, too many people were paying more attention to the fancam than the game. The music for it sucks, too. It's music designed to make lowest common denominator white fans happy. What's the point of home court advantage in the playoffs if the music and fancam nonsense during breaks might as well be exactly the same as every other arena. How about putting music on the PA that the particular players on the Celtics like and play better to. I mean, I can understand why all the distractions are useful during the regular season, 41 games is a lot. But this was a ****ing playoff game, an elimination game, a Game 6. If the Celtics must cater to the kind of fans who need fancam distractions and crap fancam music during the regular season, fine. But those fans should STAY HOME during the playoffs.
