Game #79 - Open Game Thread

by Jim Weeks on Apr 13, 2007 7:19 PM EDT in Green Bandwagon

I just can't get up for this game. We definitely will not see Paul Pierce, Al Jefferson, Michael Redd, Andrew Bogut, and Charlie Villanueva. Furthermore, the Celtics have several other injuries and the sore left knee is the Milwaukee Bucks' kryptonite. So don't expect Delonte West and possibly Mo Williams. However, I do enjoy watching Kendrick Perkins, Rajon Rondo, Gerald Green, Ruben Patterson, and Earl Boykins. And there are a numerous lingering questions? Will the Celtics be able to contain Boykins after he scorched them for 32 last time? Will Tommy Heinsohn and Mike Gorman finally air their true feelings about the mess that is this season? Will Bob Cousy unexpectedly join the crew? Will Donny Marshall be in the arena or the studio? Regardless of his location, how many references to his playing career will Marshall make? Will this game set basketball back 45 years?

I was wrong. Delonte is playing. Good to see. But I swear, you have to believe me, I had no idea that Cousy would be in the house. For some reason I'm fired up. And Cousy just said he really liked Ryan Gomes last year. A compliment! Whoa!

Celtics '08 or bust. Are you on the bandwagon?

The Good Old Days

Tommy Heinsohn is cackling as he and Cousy recall the old days. Sharman, Satch Sanders, other guys from the glory days. Cousy is talking about his nightmares in French. They're talking over the action and I don't care.

As a side note is it depressing that I am the only one commenting on my open game thread? I say no because there are a lot of Celtics blogs and I'm still trying to establish myself. Of course I also talked myself into buying a typewriter the other day. So what do I know?
