RIP 2009-2010 Celtics

I never like writing these, but for some reason, it helps me with closure. So, in typical Big Guy fashion, here is the 2009-2010 Celtics Obiturary.

Los Angeles, CA (June 18, 2010) -- At the Staples Center last evening, in front of celebrities and a zillion screaming Lakers fans, the 2009-2010 Boston Celtics passed away. Authorites say the team died of natural causes, but an investigation into the teams demise is leaning towards the lack of key rebounds, free-throws, lay-ups and some sketchy officiating.

The team, comprised of an all-star, veteran team, played like a B-Team all season, but turned up the heat at the right time -- steaming towards an unprobable playoff run that ended in dramatic game seven.

Is Expecting to Win Delusional?

Boston: The home of championsIf you live in the Greater Boston area and you are fan of any one of our professional sports teams, you realize that over the past 10 years or so, we've grown accustomed to winning.

It all started with the improbable 2001-02 Superbowl win of the Patriots, and then back to back Lombardi's just two years later. Then of course, we had the down 0-3 Red Sox who defeated their arch nemesis, the Yankees (or Skankees as I call them), only to sweep the Cardinals in the 2004 World Series. Sox did it again in 2007 by sweeping the Rockies. The next year, in 2008, the Celtics brought home the hardware by defeating their arch nemesis, the Lakers, in one of the most exciting finals in recent history (yes, I'm biased).
