Celtics Stuff Live! Post-game-Tonight. Sat.,5/24.

[JB]

  Saturday night fever at "The Palace."

With or without the video of the dancing Geno fan, the Celtics will  
have to bring their best moves to the floor tonight, as they face the  
daunting Piston's crowd (233 straight sellouts) and a well balanced,  
playoff hardened, shark like team, that can smell the blood on the  
water.

Which Celtics team will show up? Will it be the timid; "please don't  
take my lunch money, sir" bunch that has been humiliated in less  
hostile environments in Atlanta and Cleveland, or the hard driving,  
tobacco spitting, snarly bunch that has closed out two game sevens  
with a rattle snake's venomous bite?

Which team, like the "Beatles,” will check out early, take the money  
and run, after a nice little 10 year career and which will be like the  
“Rolling Stones,” still strutting and prancing, as they lock into  
their 5th decade?

  The coaches and players are talking about rotations, too many fouls  
called and making big shots in the clutch, but my own feeling is that  
this series, like most advanced  playoff rounds, will go to the team  
that will suffer the most to win it.

   Suffer you say? What does suffering have to do with winning  
basketball games?

Well; any great achievements have to be bought and paid for with sweat  
and blood.

Remember the Red Sox in 2007, breaking that 89 year curse? How many  
post 2: 00 AM extra innings games were there? How cold was that rainy  
early morning  air at ground level Fenway Park as the Sox turned  
around an 0-3 start and won games 4 & 5?

  Even the fans were walking zombies, from the mind numbing lack of  
sleep and the body numbing chill.

So whatever it takes, must be the price, for fans and players alike.

In that vein, the Celtics Stuff Live crew will be on hand, at whatever  
ungodly hour, to do our part; to suffer like the fools we are.
