LIII.It's been 1,958 days since SB LII, and I'm thirsty.
I was just thinking about this, 76-81 was the only other time outside of those two that was a 5 year stretch without a title. Crazy.LIII.
Also, did you know this is the 2nd longest drought (to 86-01) since like 1960 for Boston?????
And it has been 4,513 days since the last sports title for a NY team (almost 12.5 years), the longest effective drought in NY sports history. And this despite having fucking NINE Big Four teams in the greater NYC area.LIII.

I do worry a bit that all of the attention on Luka and the fouls will lead to some favorable calls for him. Of course it could just as easily go in the other direction, especially with an ego like Foster out there. Seems like the officials collectively reached a tipping point anyway.Thinking about how the refs will treat Luka, it occurs to me that Tatum has been WAY better in his whining and moaning to the refs this playoff stretch. Seems like he's finally internalized it's not helping his cause.
I forget the game, too, but Red tells that story in " Let Me Tell You a Story" by Red Auerbach with John Feinstein.From one of the Celtics books I read, forget the game but a big one, after warm-ups, Auerbach had the team around him, looked at Russell and said “did you throw up today?” Russell said no. Red said “go throw up.” He did. They won.

Luka's worst nightmare.Foster is a good ref with a huge ego. He'll get into fights with the players, mess up the pace of the games, and call unnecessary technicals.
That’s the book! It’s still in the bookcase right here in the family room. Took about 30 seconds to find it. I looked in Amazon and there are like a dozen books about Red and or the dynasty and the Feinstein is the one I have.I forget the game, too, but Red tells that story in " Let Me Tell You a Story" by Red Auerbach with John Feinstein.
Or the 2018 Red Sox--just dominant. The Sox ran through the best 3 teams in the MLB, but the Celtics are dominating.Feels like a Patriots Super Bowl in the Brady/BB era. The Celtics don't just have a chance to win a title, they have a chance to go down as a historically dominant team.
2013 World Series game six, however caveats of getting to Wacha early and Lackey having it early. OK. probably shouldn’t allow the caveats but it did feel damn good coming home up 3 games to 2.Or the 2018 Red Sox--just dominant. The Sox ran through the best 3 teams in the MLB, but the Celtics are dominating.
Bc lacrosse wonMy daughter turned 5 this week. She’s never seen a Boston sports championship, which, if I can be honest, is some bullshit. She knows the Celtics might win the “big trophy” soon, and she likes this team, even though she’s a bit infatuated knowing there’s a team called the Nuggets.
I’d love to show her the video of my team lifting up the big trophy tomorrow. Go do that.

Happy Birthday! May the Celtics make it a great one.It’s my Birthday today, be great to get no. 18!
That's pretty great.Hell yeah, the Walton shirt arrived this afternoon. LEGGGOOOOO
Safe travels and wish all of us the good news in Laos @PreacherI’m on a plane to Laos shortly after tipoff. I hope to be landing with good news.
Good luck. That's never happened bef....I’d really like for this to be a laugher for the entire second half. A hot first quarter and Kyzuzu and Basketball Peter Griffin will fold like a cheap tent. Make it so.
If you are a diehard this photo is iconic - no sarcasm at all - and this is how this journey started.
