Don't adjust your monitors, CelticsBlog and all of SBNations's basketball blogs have gone (mostly) black and white in mourning of the start of the regular season. Today was supposed to be the beginning of the regular season. Tomorrow would have been the Celtics first game, playing in the TD Garden against the down-and-out Cleveland Cavaliers. We can't look forward to an opening day till they resolve this lockout mess, so we'll look back on what we're missing.
- A year ago on opening night, the Celtics took down the Heat and took the wind out of their sails: There Is No Bron In Team - CelticsBlog
- On a similar note, two years ago the Celtics took down the Cavs and started LeBron's goodbye tour in Cleveland: Game 1 Recap: Thanks Lebron! Can we all shake your hand? - CelticsBlog
- Three years ago, the Celtics got their rings and Tony Allen had a very Tony night. A No-No-Yes Kind of Opening Night - CelticsBlog
- Four years ago, the Big 3 was unveiled to the world (and Gilbert Arenas guaranteed a win on opening night). 2007- 08 Season Game 1 Recap (Revisited) - CelticsBlog
That's a taste of what you are missing this week.
