Exactly how big of a Celtics fan are you? I'd like to think I'm one of their biggest fans. I'm pretty knowledgable (correct me if I'm wrong), I watch 95% of the games, and basically can't get enough of the team. Weird story. Some of you know I recently tore my ACL and I had reconstructive surgery on my ACL 2 weeks ago. As of right now I can barely bend my knee. I got it all the way up to 85 degree angle, while pushing it, somewhat painful. I just found out today that I have tickets to the game on Wednesday vs. the Hawks, and well, I'm going no matter what, and I have a feeling that I won't be able to fit in the seats, and comfortably sit there and bend my knee. But F*ck that I'm a warrior I'm going to the game. Can't give up tickets just because I can only bend my knee 85 degrees.
Tell them you can't sit in the seats and try to move up to courtside I'd say I'm a very big fan..maybe not one of the best because I didn't live through the glory years but I watch every single game whenever I'm home and when I'm not home I check ESPN immedietly for the box scores once I do get homeI love to watch videos of old games and old players..I know a lot about the Celtics history and would say I could answer pretty much any question and recognize when and where a specific game took place..and every year we won a championship and who the starting 5 were for most of them
I am an absolute die-hard fan, no question about it. I have not missed one game this year, despite the 18-44 record, and I haven't missed any more than 10-15 games total in the past 3 or 4 years, to tell you the truth. I wear some type of Celtics clothing probably 3-4 times a week at minimum. In fact, I am wearing a Celtics shirt right now. I think I'm a knowledgeable basketball fan. After every home game, I listen to the Celtics Pride Show (ESPN radio) with Jeff Hickman and Patrick Gilroy, and I call 2/3 times I listen. Every Sunday, I listen to Celticsstuff Live and call in probably 4/5 times. If I miss either one of these shows, I sit down and listen to the podcast the next day anyway. I am a writer for celtics247.com. I visit and/or post at CelticsBlog every single day. During the games, I am in the CelticsBlog chat room with other die-hards to discuss the game as it's going on. I make game threads here for every single game and write a little recap at the end of each game. I make Celtics mixes. I am in year 2 of a Celtics association in NBA 2k7. I'm just involved with a lot of things. I really don't know how to explain this question, I mean it's not really a straight-shot answer. But I am a die-hard fan, I will support this team 100% win or lose, and I will do this for the rest of my life.
I'm older, my life has responsibilities. I follow the team but I've never been one of those dissect each player after each game. I see the season as a whole. With a 1 yr old, I don't get to see many games, but prior to my early bed times with junior, I checked out 3-5 games a week. I don't live in Boston so it was whatever games were on. I've followed basketball for over 20 years though and have bled green for all those years, so I'd say I'm committed to the sport and the Celtics.
