Oh well

For the first time in the history of the Boston Celtics, they lost a playoff series while leading 3-2. It was bound to happen eventually, right? One way or another it is definitely frustrating. As if last years playoffs wern't stressful enough having the first two rounds go to game 7, while the Cav's took the C's to game 6, and the Lakers took the C's to game 6... Only for the C's to go to two game 7's in this years playoffs. So stressful as a fan, however this post-season was pretty stressful too.

As the last couple days of the season winded down, the C's kept saying that Kevin Garnett would be back for the last couple games of the season, then we were told he would be there for the last game of the season, then we were told he would be there for the playoffs, then we were told that maybe in the late rounds of the playoffs, then it was confirmed that we wouldn't see him until next year. It's no secret that not having KG in the line up takes a very important cog out of the machine that is the Celtics.

Possession after possession, watching this years playoffs compared to last seasons were so tense. Wondering if Perkins, Powe, Scal and Big Baby could fill the big shoes that KG left out there (note how I left Mikki Moore out of this), and then only to have Powe tear his ACL immediately in the playoffs. Great. But Perk played great, and Big Baby shined when he needed to shine, same with Scal. Seeing Big Baby play well was promising for next season, however not having KG out there really hurt us, especially on defense. But on the same wavelength of not having KG, not being able to re-sign James Posey really showed its true colors last night. Sure Rondo played out of his mind this post season, but Posey was a big peice of the championship equation. Not to sound overly pesimistic, but going into this postseason, it was pretty easy to realize that this wasn't the year for the Celtics. At least we don't have to watch them get killed by the Cav's.


Oh well.

Rough Game 7's for both the C's and the B's.

Now it is time to fully focus on the Red Sox, I 'spose.

I just hope that when it was all said and done, that the Celtics wern't out partying the night before game 7 with McLovin. Since when did he become the #1 Celtics Fan?

(Peirce, Perk and Pruitt with McLovin)

And while we're on the subject of Celtic Fans... why was Boston's own WWE Superstar John Cena sitting at game 6 of the Magic vs. Celtics series wearing this:

I'm disappointed in you, Mr. Cena
