Has reality set in yet?
Is the sense of magic with this team still there for people or has it become routine? 61 games into the season, I'm still amazed at how we're playing. We've won as many games as we did the last time we went to the ECF, and we still have 21 games still left to play. It's still hard to believe. I'm so used to expecting the team to collapse and fall back into bad habits. Sure, they stray occasionally, but they quickly bounce back. After the three game losing streak, they've followed it up with 8 straight wins and counting, including one against the Pistons. They're 19-3 against the West. No, they haven't won a championship yet, but this season will still be the best it has been in over 20 years regardless of the outcome. And the best part is how great a group of guys this is. Even opponents are happy to see them winning. This is just the most fun I've had watching Celtics basketball (I wasn't in Boston in the 80s and was too young to remember much). I hope it doesn't become boring for me. I don't think it will as long as the passion is there, and I don't think these guys will lose it with KG around.
