I am so proud of these guys!



The 4-year run comes to an end. Injuries over a 3 year period hurt this bunch far more than any team could ever deserve.

But Paul, Ray, Kevin, and Rondo have in their way made me as proud of being a Celtic fan as more productive groups in years past.

There are of course a million things to say about how and why we lost. Referees are high on that list. But it doesn't really matter.

In 8th grade, about 1968, I read Bill Russell's boo, Go Up for Glory. Russ talked a lot about what it meant to be a man.

These guys are men. They are men in ways that hype-merchants and hype-fans will never understand.

I am proud of the Boston Celtics. Being men (most of us) let's carry our disappointment with pride.
