Most of the old threads can be brought back to life.  They usually ask if you would rather start a new one...if the old one hasn't been active for a considerable stretch of time, but will reactivate after that prompt... 
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift...
   That is why it is called the present.

Springfield, Mass


I graduated from Springfield College (birthplace of basketball)


Fun fact: I was friends with James Naismith's great great grandson, Ben Naismith


Another fun fact: Ben Naismith didn't like basketball at all

That really is a neat fact.

Nice, I'm originally from Wilbraham.

Now in Malden, MA.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

Can't remember if I replied to this before, and I don't feel like taking the time to check, so I'll chime in:

I'm originally from Windsor, Maine, spent the first 30 years of my life there, but for the last 12 years I've been in Azusa, California (part of L.A. County).

I'm Lebanese, born and raised.
It might seem weird but we have a tendency in Lebanon to support foreign teams as the sports scene here is pretty weak. Most lebanese support European soccer clubs and religiously watch every match.

For me I love basketball, started watching the NBA around 2010 and for some reason I always liked the Celtics, and after that finals run I was hooked, I've been a celtics fan ever since (staying up till 5 am to watch every single game (illegal streams before and bought league pass the past 2 years)

I've also been a lurker on this blog (and the CelticsBlog main page) since the 2011 season. Always on my bookmarks and I check here everyday and read the game threads, and it's a guilty pleasure of mine to read all the overreactions positive and negative here.

  • A true Celtic plays with heart.
Born in Queens, New York, moved to NJ, then Virginia shortly after. Signing up with FBLA, (Future Business Leaders of America,) I met Paul Pierce in 2001, during FBLA meeting with the Wizards vs Celtics, and he was very nice and polite. He gave me his autograph, and that was when I followed Pierce, and the Celtics!  :P  ;D

Baltimore, MD. My grandfather immigrated from Ireland and the Celtics were the first American team he supported. Unfortunately he was also an Orioles and Colts fan. So go Celtics.

The northern part of Boston and by that, I mean Portland, Maine!!

Haven’t seen the time lord in person yet but I’m a big yabu fan and think his extraordinary rear end may be hard to miss.

Also, since were sharing, jaylen Brown super fan.
