Remember When

Balcony Gal Disclaimer: if you come here for silly or for the basketball-but-not-necessarily-basketball related then you should just avert your eyes. This isn't going to be pretty. And I don't think I have photos for this. At least not yet because that would require an energy I don't have right now due to two sick kids, a house on the market that has to look like we don't have kids, a big work thing that requires a photo shoot of me, work things in general, and a team I'm behind 100% that is confusing the hell out of me.

Remember when, at the beginning of the season, when the Celtics team, all players, came out on fire?

Remember when, part way through the sesaon, when the Celtics team, all players, came out on fire?

Remember when, at the end of the sesaon, when the Celtics team, all players, came out on fire?

Remember when the energy of the team constantly ran high?

Remember when home or away didn't matter?

Remember when Rondo or Pierce could toss the ball toward the basket and KG miraculously appeared to snatch it and put it home?

Remember when Ray Allen wasn't just the calm and consistent but was consistent?

My View From The Celtics Balcony remembers a lot of things. I'm choosing to stop now before I anger the Celtics gods, or front office, or players, or fans who aren't concerned and frustrated by the playoffs. No matter what is happening on the court or in the locker room I'm still going to be a fan. I'm still going to love every minute I sat in my Balcony Seat. I'm still going to be here next season. I'm just saying that my fire has faltered a little because of everything else that is going on in my life and it seems like the Celtics are faltering a bit, too, because of what is going on.

Anyone want to tell me what is going on?

GO CELTICS

PLAYOFF GAME TONIGHT

I ask my reader(s) who come here only for the pictures to please bear with me as I talk about basketball for a minute. See, there's a little controversy in Celtics land. I wasn't really going to talk about it because I'm not into beating dead horses or people named Bibby. Plus, the rest of the media and blogosphere have chimed in repeatedly. But this morning I was laughing my ass off at a post I read over at Red's Army. They pointed me to this Bibby Head that I can print out and display from my balcony seat during tonight's Game Two. I'm going to be making extras, too, so if you see me waiving my Bibby Head then come on over and ask for one.

You'll have to go check out those sites for the back story. I don't have time to get into it b/c I have to run out to the store and get Popsicle sticks and more colored ink. Hmmm, should they be one-sided or two?
