The Celtic Pride…....
โIf you dedicate yourself to doing itโฆ They will comeโฆ You may have to put your arms around a couple of guys and take them with you but you canโt drag them, you just put your arms around them and take them with youโโฆ a proud Bill Russell said to Kevin Garnett. It wasnโt a traditional passing of the torch it was like a father talking to his son as Russell told KG how proud he was of him in an emotional one on one talk.
Kevin Garnett has been struggling this season after being injured playing only 69 out of the 82 season games. The Celtics finished the season with a respectable 50-32 record placing fourth in the East but they were not suppose to go beyond the first round, they were old, they were undersize, They are no match for Dwayne Wadeโs Miami Heat, Lebron James and the Cavaliers will crush them.. But they continue to defy all odds and prove everyone wrong. Everybody doubted them but they never entertained that thought they carry with them a sense of confidence a fighting heart and a resilient mind, no team, no man can break that sense of pride. Cleveland was NBAโs number one team they have the seasonโs MVP, Lebron James, it was a championship team but somehow the Celtics are not sold to that idea. They are the more experienced team and right after tip-off it was all business for the Celtics.
KG was holding his team up giving high fives, bumping bodies, inspiring everyone and playing defense. โWinning is gratifying,โ Garnett said. โYouโre playing the best team in basketball; the challenge is there; you donโt have to dress it up. One thing we donโt lack is confidence. Weโre a veteran team and we understand when itโs time to lock in as a group. I think we did just that. I think the experience is taking over.โ
