<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><div align="center"><span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%">The End is Here</span> </div> Tonight, the Celtics will end their long, injury-plagued season at the Garden as they will take on the best team in the Eastern Conference, the 52-29 Detroit Pistons. This has been a tough year for everybody associated with the Celtics as well as the true Celtic fans. The Celtics have been killed this season with big injuries to basically every key player on the team, they posted the worst losing streak in franchise history (18 games), we lost both Red Auerbach and Dennis Johnson, they clinched the 2nd worst record in the league, and the fans are emotionally confused. While it has been a very tough year, there have been a lot of bright spots as well. Al Jefferson had a break-out year and has been a consistent double-double threat. Rajon Rondo was one of the best rookies of the 06-07 season, and he has convinced the majority of the fan base that he is surely the point guard of the future in Boston. Gerald Green, though inconsistent, has shown a lot of flashes and has progressed a bit faster than most expected. Hey, he even brought some joy to the city of Boston when he took home the dunk trophy. Ryan Gomes has extended his range and become arguably the most consistent player on the team, for what he does. Kendrick Perkins has been exceptional the past two months. Also, look at the bright side: we now have a chance at getting one of the top 2 picks in the 2007 NBA draft, both slots consisting of serious franchise players. Aside from all the individual progression and flashes, this team has left their hearts on the court every single night they were out there. From Paul Pierce to Kevinn Pinkney, every player on this team played hard every single night. They may be young, they may be raw, and they may have a lot to work on, but I?ll tell ya - they lay their hearts on the line for this organization every night and the chemistry level has actually increased much more than you?d think. Yes, the season was dreadful for the most part, but I still support this team 100% (I haven?t missed a single game this season) and I can?t wait to see what tricks the front office has up their sleeve for this summer (like they promised us). In closing, instead of sulking about how rough this season has been, let?s hang our heads high and do this one for Red: Let?s go Celtics!</div>
Great article, I just wanna see us end this on a great note. Like, a spectacular dunk by GG or something crazy from Rondo!
