Awesome championship ring.

 

Win another.

Anyone got anything earth shattering as far as ways to get good Bruins or Celtics tickets on the cheap? I'm coming into town for the Celts/Bucks game and the Bruins/Sabres game the weekend of 11/7. Thoughts?

[YanksHater213]

You can find cheap Bruins tickets, but not Celtics tickets.

 

Thankfully my Dad has a box through his company, so I'll be able to get a few games here and there.

 

I've got tickets tonight though, it's going to be awesome.

[MANNYHOF24]

I got 5 tickets for 10/31 against the Bulls for 300 dollars. In section 6.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Apparently we're wearing special uniforms for the opener tonight.

Good thing its only one night, we look like the A's.

 

 

 

I heard the Red Sox did this for the 05 opener too... did they really? I didn't notice it if they did.

Nice, enjoy.

 

 

 

 

Am I alone in thinking that TD Banknorth makes the best sausage pepper & onion subs in existence?

Yep, they were a bit gold.

[TheKilo]

Ring ceremonies on TNT I believe

[See Red]

I believe the Red Sox only wore the uniforms for the ring ceremony, and wore their regular home uniforms with a patch on the sleeve for the game itself. I think.

 

Nice little touch, I think. The rings are beautiful, by the way.

 

edit: A great moment ruined by a s***** U2 song...

[TheKilo]

Yeah f***ing terrible song choice.

[Cocos Disciples]

Haha what song was it?

[See Red]

"Beautiful Day" by U2 while they were raising the banner to the rafters.

 

I just really hate U2...

[Drew It Again]

good finish to the first quarter.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

C's are finally back on track after the s***** first half. Up by 6 in the fourth quarter as I write this.

[Dojji]

What a dagger play by Pierce and Powe!

[MANNYHOF24]

Thats a good win. The bench made a statement tonight with Tony Allen and Leon Powe coming up huge.

[Dojji]

Great game! Worthy of two very good teams!

[MANNYHOF24]

The refs tried to take over that game. IMO, sucked the air out of a very good game.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Did anyone else want to skin the broadcasters for talking while Paul Pierce addressed the fans? I did. That was pathetic. Marv Albert FTMFW.

[YanksHater213]

Awesome game to be at. The ceremony was awesome, loved every second of it. As for Pierce crying... you guys can't say s***. The s*** that he's gone to in order to get to that point in his career, coupled with his connection with the city, it was an awesome moment. It was also nice to see that Doc probably got one of the biggest ovations from anyone when he got his ring.

 

As for the game itself, Powe, Rondo, and Allen were GREAT tonight. If those 3 guys can sustain a level of play like that this year, we have an amazing shot at taking another championship.

 

Great to see a big win vs. another Eastern heavyweight, especially with Garnett and Allen both shooting the ball pretty poorly.

Who would be saying s***? That was an awesome moment.

[Cocos Disciples]

Yeah I haven't heard anyone say s***.

[YanksHater213]

It was a post that I made on a basketball forum I also frequent, I just copied it over here without realizing that I was responding to someone else's post over there.

 

Easily was one of my top 5 favorite moments as a Boston sports fan and as a Celtics fan.

[Crazy Rob]

Sick pictures needed a laptop background picture layout thanks Kilo!!

Celtics dominating the Pistons in the 1st half. Tony Allen has 13.

 

I'll be honest with yall - my dad (who has grown up as a die hard Celtics fan) has officially converted me. I've watched or listened to all the Celtics games this year, and have just really enjoyed it all. Call me a bandwagoner or whatever I don't care, but I'm 100% behind them from this point on.

[TheKilo]

Tony Allen?!?

[YanksHater213]

We played some special, special basketball on the defensive end in the first half.

[Cocos Disciples]

Seeing Iverson in a Detroit uni is odd.

I won't consider you a bandwagoner.

 

 

 

 

This has been an absolute rapejob so far. I love it.
