Christmas Miracle....vs BOS

Twas the day after Christmas, Against the Celtics at the Oracle, The Warriors won and it was quite a spectacle. Bad Holiday parodies aside this game was truly a spectacle. Not just for the fact that we pulled off a Christmas miracle and beat the Champs. But because of the energy in that arena. I have to say this was hands down the best game of the season thus far. The entire place was going Mighty Dumbo Dorfian Dummy.

Crazy thing is we initially tried to sell our tickets. Reason being is Celtics tickets normally sell for 2 or 3 times the price. I put them up for 3 times the price but found no takers. Looking back I am glad they didn't sell. We were excited to go to the game. We didn't expect a win, But we both were looking forward to seeing the Celtics play. Even if it meant them stomping on our boys. Most of the night that was the case a matter of a fact. Right from the jump you could see how better the Celtics are then us in both defending and scoring. They did however look tired and a little worn. They played the night before in LA against the Lakers. Ending the Celtics 19 game winning streak. I thought that would of fired them up a bit. Perhaps it did mentally but it didnt show up physically. Another big deciding factor was some sloppy 4th quarter turn overs the Celtics made. Also some key late game calls going our way. We did also have Jackson back and it was the old Gun Slinging Jackson. Not the new turn over machine Jackson. He looked like his old self shooting well and bringing a big spark. Also Marco has continued to do well with his extended minutes. Wonder if Nelson will still use him as much once Maggate, Crawford and Ellis are healthy? Speaking of Ellis it was nice to see him rejoin the team after that 30 game suspension. When they showed him on the screen the place went nuts. Still tons of love, we all can't wait to get him back.

The only bad news from this game was I didn't have my camera. We lent it to my Wife's parents for the weekend. No worries though a picture or a video would not properly capture the vibe that night. People really started to believe again that night, If only for a game. It had a vibe that I have not felt since Baron left. I don't know what the future holds. But like I said before that was the best game so far this season. We all know the playoffs are not going to happen. Lets just hope we can finish out the season with some intensity. Then hold our chins high with the best record we can.
