So close

As you know, I come from a basketball family. My dad played in high school and one year of college. I starting playing in third grade with my dad as my coach. I have coached the boys' basketball team for three years.

My dad got season tickets for the Celtics in 1978, the year Larry Bird was drafted. I spent the 1980's hearing "Beat LA" chanted through our town. I still think the long gone Boston Garden was the best place to watch a game. We no longer have those season tickets and I'll admit we hadn't been paying much attention to the team in recent years. When we took the kids to a game last season, it was like watching the team of misfits who play against the Harlem Globetrotters. And they are suppose to play like misfits.

Below is the video the Celtics play on the jumbotron over the court before home games. I have no idea who composed or performed the music. They are so close to winning it all. Staying up late for game 5 was brutal but I'll be up late for game 6 on Tuesday night.

However, considering how well they've played, Kevin Garnett has every reason to scream.

I have to admit it - I just love big, loud, sports anthems. Don't you?
