Incase you missed it while you were out partying (or drinking wine by yourself like me) last night, Avery Bradley did this:

Which caused me to do this:

And eventually this.

Unreal game. Unreal finish. Incredible to see this young Celtics team stroll into the LeBron’s castle and cap it with an ending like this.

Let’s talk about the facts – sitting well above .500, this Celtics team has been pleasantly surprising. The rebuild is going better than most of us thought, and Boston has been better than expected.

But every time they get some momentum and take two steps forward, they seem to take another two steps back. It’s become somewhat of a shitty “Post-Paul-Pierce-Era” awkward square dance of mediocrity and it’s been driving me insane.

But I suppose that’s what growing pains are all about. We knew it was going to be a bumpy ride when Ray-Ray, KG and Pauly hit the bricks, and the awkward dancing is all part of growing up.

But tonight, this young green puberty machine showed some resolve. Sitting on two straight wins and 8 in their last 9, we seemed primed for a classic 2015-16 Celtics letdown. But instead, against the best team in the East, they battled back all night, and pulled off a massive upset on a hilariously awesome last second shot.

I’m not saying the Celtics are going to shock the world this year. They play the Cavs 7 times, they still probably lose 5.

But make no mistake about it – this Celtics team is no joke.

They might not win it all this year. They might not win it next year. But Trader Danny tore it down and rebuilt it the right way. This team is going to be very good for a very long time. You can count on that.

Speaking of, I can’t wait to see who Queen James blames this one on.

PS Gorman’s “Yeah” was so electric at the end of that video. So much excitement and accidental diarrhea at the same time. Love that guy. He can call games for me any day.

HIT IT GENO!
