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.

Celtics Fans: Please Don't Forget the Bruins

As my buddy @dbinkowski will tell you, I'm probably the biggest Boston sports homer in the Greater Boston area. Every year I believe each of our teams will win a championship. That mentality has only surface since 2001 when the Patriots won their first Super Bowl, which sparked a decade of dominance by all out of sports teams, with the exception of the Bruins.

This year, the Bruins stumbled into the playoffs and got stronger and stronger as they beat Buffalo and the best goalie in the league. Next up was the Flyers and the Bruins went up 3-0. The series was stretched to a game seven and the B's were up 3-0 in said game.
