We've all had those life-changing phone calls: "I'm pregnant!" or "The test came back negative." Today I received a call worthy of this category:
Hey Chuck, it's John. I got free luxury-suite tickets to tonight's game. You in?
That's right....the blue-collar boys of Red's Army will be hobnobbing with the suits tonight! And we'll be wearing these green goofy t-shirts courtesy of Reebok.
And leave it to Bob Ryan to calm everyone down. He just posted a great blog detailing several instances where the Celtics were tied 2-2 in a series with lesser teams. Here are the examples:
1972 -- 56-26 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 36-46 Hawks.
1973 -- 68-14 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 46-36 Hawks.
1974 -- 56-26 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 42-40 (Buffalo) Braves
1976 -- 54-28 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 46-36 Braves
1976 -- 54-28 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 49-33 Cavs
1976 -- 54-28 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 42-40 Suns
1981 -- 62-20 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 40-42 Rockets
1984 -- 62-20 Celtics tied at 2-2 with the 47-35 Knicks
Thanks Bob...we needed that.
