Thank you Celtics.

This post is not to talk about tonight's Game 7 loss. It is what it is. Lebron James is a very talented player and will be for years to come. So congrats to Miami. What I'm really here to talk about is the 2011-2012 Boston Celtics. Coming into the season, expectations were very high-Banner 18 or bust. That's how they have been since 2007 when KG and Ray arrived here. No one could have ever predicted what would transpire..

The first obstacle? A lockout affected schedule that would see the Celtics play countless back-to-backs and travel around the country at a dizzying pace. Then came the injuries; Paul Pierce missed time early in the season with a foot ailment. Then, we lost both Jeff Green and Chris Wilcox to season-ending cardiac issues. Couple that with major injuries to Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley, and this team was short-staffed and banged-up all year long. They scrapped & fought through many games severely undermanned.

But the C's fought through all of it. The media, the fans, opposing teams and just about everybody else counted them out. We wouldn't make the playoffs. We wouldn't get out of the 1st round if we did. We were too old, too slow, too cocky, too this & too that. Yet the 2011-12 Boston Celtics took a younger, more athletic and highly favored Miami Heat team to the brink in the Eastern Conference Finals.

I love this franchise that is the Boston Celtics, and I have the utmost respect and gratitude for this year's squad. They showed me the true meaning of trust, faith and pure, unbridled courage. I witnessed so much this year, both at TD Garden and watching from afar. I still have much to process, but right now, I just want to say thank you to the 2011-12 Boston Celtics for all they've done for the city of Boston, all their devoted fans around the world and me personally.

Celtics vs Heat- are you ready?

I know I am. Here's a great preview video to get your green blood flowing. Game tips-off tonight at 8:30pm.

Paul Pierce Nike Air Legacy

Back in January 2011, I featured my friend Drew on "Fan Friday" over at RedsArmy.com. Drew is a die hard Celtics fan and avid kicks collector. His collection includes game-worn shoes from Ray Allen, Jermaine O'Neal and many more. This week, I got a tweet that literally stopped me in my tracks. As I was walking down Mass. Ave in the pouring rain, a picture of Paul Pierce's Nike Air Legacy appeared on my smartphone.  Sneakerheads that collect Celtics themed kicks know that all of Paul's shoes only come in kid's sizes. So the only way you're going to get one in adult is by getting one of Paul's personal player editions.

Paul wore this edition of his signature shoe during the 2009-10 NBA season. Drew has not been able to confirm this yet, but this pair may in fact be the same one Paul wore during the NBA Finals vs L.A. that year. And as I found out after some (painful) research online, Paul may have worn this exact pair in Game 7. Drew is obviously excited about his latest score and was more than happy to send me a few pics:

Two classic KG games

Could this be KG's last season? I surely hope not. But with that becoming a possibility, I've been doing alot of reminiscing on the Big Ticket's career. Here are YouTube clips of 2 of his most memorable games. 1st, a 2005 loss to Phoenix where KG scored his career-best 47 points, and then a Game 7 victory over Sacramento in the 2004 Western Semifinals. The win propelled KG and the Wolves to the Western Conference Finals. Enjoy:

Pics: Kobe at pre-draft workout w/Celtics in 1996

Found these pics on Weibo's NBA site last night. They are of Kobe Bryant at a pre-draft workout for the Boston Celtics in 1996. I did a triple-take first time I saw them. That's former Celtic player/coach ML Carr in the bottom-right corner joking w/then teenage Kobe:
