Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Now that’s what I’m talking about.  Playing great defense and winning by four just wasn’t enough.  Wasn’t enough Marshmallow Fluff.  Wasn’t enough to make you huff and puff.  HR Puff N’ Stuff.  Always there when things get rough.  HR Puff N’Stuff.  You can’t get a little if you can’t get enough.  Celtics got a little last night.  Celtics got enough last night.  Sixteen-point beatdown last night.  Sweet sixteen-point beatdown last night.  Punks jump up to get beat down!  Bron Bron jumped up to get beatdown.  King James.  Witness.  Witness the Celtics holding King James to six for twenty-four last night.  Witness the Celtics holding King James to two for eighteen in Game One.  Witness the Celtics holding King James to a shooting percentage of just nineteen in these here playoffs.  Nineteen!  That nineteen percent is the lowest shooting percentage in the NBA playoffs in the shot-clock era among players who attempted at least forty shots over any two consecutive games in one postseason.  Yowza!  So now you have to ask yourself, is the Celtics defense that good; or is LeBron that bad?  Those are your two options.  Your only two options.  I don’t think LeBron is that bad, so I must say, the Celtics defense is that good.  Good to the last drop.  All night, the Celtics hand their hands in a face.  All night, the Celtics were clogging the lane.  All night, the Celtics had a booty on a brother.  All night, the Celtics were doubling on the pick and roll.  All night, the Celtics were crowding mugs on traps.  Coach Mike Brown said the King’s shots were just not falling.  Coach Mike Brown said he has to go back and watch the tape.  He don’t need to watch no tape.  I’ll tell him.  I’ll tell him what happened.  I know it.  You know it.  Tracy McGrady knows it.  And now LeBron James knows it.  This Celtics defense is the best defense we’ve ever seen.  The best defense there’s ever been.  Better than Afrosheen.  That’s what happened.  The Cavaliers’ offensive game that usually flows so easily has been brought to a screeching halt.  The shots that normally drop have been clanging off the rim.  Cleveland’s Superman has been reduced to Clark Kent status in these Eastern Conference semifinals.  The Celtics are the Kryptonite.  Dy-no-mite!  Dolemite.  Bone-crushing, skull-splitting, brain-blasting action!  Credit goes to Paul Pierce.  Credit goes to James Posey.  But credit also goes to Kevin Garnett, Kendrick Perkins, Big Show Leon Powe and everyone else who chased down Bron Bron and gave him fits.  This a team effort.  Tom Thibedeau defense.  Team defense.  Five players on the floor functioning as one single unit.  Team, team, team.  No one more important that the other.  Welcome to Boston Celtics basketball.  Roll Celtics roll!

Josh Q. Public:  Simple and plain.  Give me the lane.  I’ll throw it down your throat like Barkley.  See these car keys?  You’ll never get these.  They belong to the 98 posse.  -Public Enemy

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Finally.  Finally we made it.  Looks like we made it.  Barry Manilow style.  But hold on there big fella.  Not so fast.  There’s still business to take care of.  Serious business.  Big business.  Growed folks business.  Cleveland Cavaliers business.  LeBron James business.  King James.  The King is dead.  Long live the King!  Witness.  This is the question on everybody’s mind today.  How do the Boston Celtics stop the King today?  How do you top a car?  Tep on the break, tupid!  If only it were that easy.  We all know the Celtics play defense.  Ridiculous defense.  Preposterous defense.  Ludacris defense.  When I move you move.  Just like that.  Hell yeah!  Hey DJ, bring that back!  The Celtics are going to have to bring that defense back.  Bring back the best defense in the NBA.  Getting stops.  Big stops.  Important stops.  Stops in the name of love.  Getting huge defensive stops that enable the C’s to go on huge runs that lead to huge leads that means never having to look back.  Howeva.  Howeva, during the regular season, the Celtics and Cavaliers split their four games.  Both teams winning on their home court.  Boston won a game that LeBron James missed.  Cleveland took a game that KG sat out.  Pretty even.  You know who you are?  Even Steven.  The Celtics are going to have to do better than Even Steven in these here playoffs against these here Cavs with this here Bron Bron.  Paul Pierce will try not to exhaust himself defensively against the King.  Why should he?  He has help.  He has Defensive Player of the Year help.  Kevin Garnett help.  Big Ticket help.  Here’s your ticket.  Hear the drummer get wicked.  Garnett will be able to help because he will be able to leave Big Ben Wallace.  Offensively impotent Big Ben Wallace.  Offensively impotent Big Ben Wallace who averaged a paltry 3.2 points against the Wizards.  Yes, Garnett will be able to leave Big Ben Wallace.  But in order for Garnett to be able to leave Big Ben Wallace and help with LeBron, Kendrick Perkins must do his job.  Perk must do his job and hang tough with Ilgauskas.  Žydrunas Ilgauskas.  Make sure you spell it right.  Mike Bibby called Perkins “soft.”  Mike Bibby said a lot of things.  Where is Mike Bibby now?  Perk cannot be soft tonight.  Perk cannot be soft in any of these games.  Perk will have to get physical.  Let’s get physical, physical.  I wanna get physical.  Perk will have to get physical and keep a booty on the brother at all times.  He will have to do his job so Kevin Garnett can do his.  He will have to do his job so Kevin Garnett can free up and help with LeBron.  Kendrick had his best game of the playoffs on Sunday.  Heck, Kendrick had the best game of his life on Sunday.  Ended up with a double-double.  Double trouble.  Throw it down, big man!  Throw it down.  He also blocked a playoff career-high five shots despite not playing in the fourth quarter.  Perkins dominated Al Horford at the offensive end of the court.  Perkins dominated Al Horford at the defensive end of the court.  He limited Horford to four points, on 2-for-8 shooting, through the first three quarters.  For the Celtics to win this series, they need more of the same.  They need more Kendrick Perkins.  NBA Action.  Win or go home!  Roll Celtics roll!

Josh Q. Pubic:  I never had a chance to shine.  Never a happy song to sing.  But suddenly half the world is mine.  What an amazing thing.  ‘Cause I’ve got a golden ticket.  -Willy Wonka

Public Service Announcement:  OK, here we go!  Knock ‘em down!  Roll ‘em around!  C’mon defense work!  Work!  The Big Ticket works.  Workin’ nine to five.  Works on defense.  What a way to make a livin’.  Works on defense enough to become the first Celtic ever to win the Defensive Player of the Year Award.  Bill Russell never won it.  Kevin McHale never won it.  Don Chaney never won it.  KG did.  KG took the worst defensive team in all the land last year, and transformed them.  Transformers.  More than meets the eye.  Transformers.  Robots in disguise.  KG is Optimus Prime transforming the Celtics into the lockenest-down team in the league.  The rockenest down team in the league.  The shockenest down team in the league.  I shook the world!  The Celtics shook the world.  Shook the NBA defensive world.  The Celtics ended up mere percentage points behind the Deetroit Pistons in points allowed.  The Celtics ended up first, and first by far, in all the rest of the defensive categories.  First by far in defensive field goal percentage.  First by far in three-point defense.  First by far in point differential.  And get a load of this. Boston’s opponents made 46.8 percent of their field-goal attempts last season, but only 41.9 percent this season. Only one NBA team since 1970 has had a larger improvement in opponents’ field-goal percentage. The Spurs opponents went from 47.1 percent in 1996-97 to 41.1 in 1997-98. Holy cow. For all of that, you can thank Mr. Garnett.  He’s an eight-time NBA All-Defensive selection.  He’s good.  Real good.  The Big Ticket guards everybody.  Anybody.  He guards centers and he guards point guards.  He chases folks all the way to the perimeter.   He camps underneath and alters shots.  He comes from the weak side to put a bootie on a brother.  He fronts to deny the ball and keeps people out of the post.  Know this sports fans, if Kevin Garnett decides he doesn’t want you to score, you ain’t scoring.  And that’s the double truth, Ruth.

Josh Q. Public:  The long and winding road that leads to your door will never disappear.  I’ve seen that road before.  It always leads me here.  Leads me to you door.  -Beatles

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Larry Bird is not walking through that door, fans.  Kevin McHale is not walking through that door.  And Robert Parish is not walking through that door.   And if you expect them to walk through that door, they’re going to be gray and old.  Who needs them?  And on the cool check in.  Center stage on the mic.  And we’re puttin’ it on wax.  It’s the new style.  The New Style Celtics.  The Boston Celtics have won just three playoff series in the fifteen seasons since Larry Bird retired.  If they win three this year, they will be in the NBA finals.  The New Style Celtics will win three.  The New Style Celtics will be in the NBA finals.  With the Big Ticket, The Truth and Jesus Shuttleworth, how can they not be?  With the Big Ticket, The Truth and Jesus Shuttleworth playing the best defense on the planet, how can they not be?  The New Style Boston Celtics dominated foes night after night.  The New Style Boston Celtics dominated foes fight after fight.  The New Style Boston Celtics dominated foes like JJ Evans, dy-no-mite! They won forty-five games by at least ten points.   They led the league in point differential averaging over ten points a game.  Yowza!   They finished 66-16 after going 24-58 last season.  A forty-two game improvement that shattered the old record of thirty-six set by the San Antonio Spurs.  Shattered, shattered.  Love and hope and sex and dreams are still surviving on the street.  Look at me.  I’m in tatters!  The New Style Celtics left the rest of the NBA in tatters.  Led the league in opponents field goal percentage.  Led the league in opponents three point field goal percentage.  Second in the league in opponents scoring.  Defense wins championships.  The Celtics play defense.  Stifling defense.  Asphyxiating defense.  Michael Hutchence defense.  Tom Thibodeau defense.  Leading the way is the Big Ticket.  Here’s your ticket.  Hear the drummer get wicked.  The Big Ticket may get shammed out of the MVP.  May get travestied of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a shammed out of the MVP.  He won’t get travestied of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a shammed out of the Playoffs MVP.  That, boys and girls, is his and his alone.  As is the Finals MVP.  But like my main man Red Auerbach always says:  “Individual honors are nice, but no Celtic has ever gone out of his way to achieve them.  We have never had the league’s top scorer.  In fact, we won seven league championships without placing even one among the league’s top ten scorers.  Our pride was never rooted in statistics.”  Our pride is back.  Celtics Pride is back.  So climb aboard.  Climb aboard the victory train.  This train is bound to glory.

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Just a quick one today.  A Big Ticket one today.  Here’s your ticket.  Hear the drummer get wicked.  The Big Ticket got wicked last night, boy.  The Big Ticket got wicked in the third quarter last night, boy.  The Big Ticket got wicked all over Amare Stoudemire and the Phoenix Suns last night in the third quarter boy.  Oh boy.  All of my life I’ve been a-waitin’.  Tonight there’ll be no hesitatin’.  Oh boy!  When you’re with me, oh boy.  You can King James me.  You can Kobe Bean me.  Heck, you can even CP3 me.  I’ll take my chances with Kevin Garnett.  Game tied at the half.  Enter the third quarter.  Enter the Big Ticket in the third quarter.  Eight points in the third quarter.  Twenty cents in the third quarter.  One block in the third quarter.  Big deal, you say.  So what, you say.  Who cares, you say.  Check this out, I say.  Amare Stoudemire had no points in third quarter.  Zero.  Zilch.  Nada.  Amare Stoudemire had four turnovers in the third quarter.  As goes Amare.  So go the Suns.  That’s defense boys and girls.  Tough defense.  Rough defense.  Sho’ enough defense.  Championship defense.  Tom Thibodeau defense.  Stick with your man.  Think of him as chewing gum.  By the end of the game, I want you to know what flavor he is.  Toast flavor.  Garnett finished with thirty points.  Thirty points on 12-19 shooting.  He made hook shots.  He made jump shots.  He made incredible shots.  Unbelievable shots.  MVP shots.  MVP!  MVP!  MVP!  You know, a basketball hero around here is treated like a god.  Kevin Garnett has reached Mount Olympus.

Public Service Announcement:  OK, here we go!  Woooo doggy!  Larry Bird is not walking through that door, fans.  Kevin McHale is not walking through that door, and Robert Parish is not walking through that door.  They don’t need to.  It’s the new style.  Four and three and two and one.  When I’m on the mic, the suckers run.  Suckers are running.  The Boston Celtics just put the entire basketball world on notice.  The Boston Celtics just sent the entire basketball world a message.  Oh the lonely days are gone.  I’m coming home.  My baby, she wrote me a letter.  Yes, the lonely days are gone.  The Celtics wrote a letter.  The letter said, “I’m Godzilla.  You are Japan!”  What?  You thought this was a fluke?  Thought they’ve been lucky?  Thought this was an accident?  Thought you said are you all right, Spider.  Think again.  The Celtics’ position atop the NBA, contrary to popular opinion, has not been a result of a soft first half schedule.  The Celtics’ position atop the NBA, contrary to popular opinion, has not been a result of a soft Eastern Conference.  The Celtics’ position atop the NBA, contrary to popular opinion, has been a result of one thing and one thing only.  They’re good.  Real good.  Last night, the Boston Celtics clinched a playoff spot by smashing everybody’s pet pick in the East.  Smashed the Beasts of the East.  Smashed them real good like.  The Big Ticket smashed them.  He didn’t fill it up for fifty while jawing with Spike Lee against the joke of the league.  He did the right thing.  He put on his hard hat and went to work.  Put on his hard hat and scored thirty-one.  He put on his hard hat and played defense.  Tough defense.  Rough defense.  Dare I say it?  Tenacious defense.  The Celtics played team basketball.  Five players on the floor functioning as one single unit: team, team, team.  No one more important that the other.  The Truth had fifteen, nailing the three-point dagger, threecola! Larry Bird style.  Rajon Rondo contributed sixteen, including a thunderous, posterizing don’t fake the funk on a nasty dunk in the mugs of  Rip Hamilton and Jason Maxiell.  Kendrick Perkins notched ten points and twenty boards.  Twenty rebounds!  Big Al who?  The Celtics never trailed in this game.  The Celtics never trailed in this statement sending game.  This buckwheats sending game.  Buckwheats is a whole other animal.  A guy orders a buckwheats hit, it just doesn’t mean take the guy out, it means take the guy out in the most painful way possible.  It means the vic should suffer.  Typical buckwheat hit is to shoot a guy up the ####.  Yeah, uh, ba-bing.  A slug up the ####, you don’t die so much as contort for a good fifteen minutes, then you die.  I imagine it’s like crappin’ white-hot razor blades.  I imagine the Pistons are crappin’ white-hot razor blades right now.  Heck, I imagine the whole daggone NBA is crappin’ white-hot razor blades right now.  As for the Celtics?  They’re sipping boat drinks.

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Just a quick one today.  A run and stick one today.  A makes me sick one today.  Kobe Bryant for MVP makes me sick.  LeBron James for MVP makes me sick.  The Most Valuable Player in the National Basketball Association this year is Kevin Garnett.  Period.  Stated.  Bordered.  The Big Ticket.  And I gotta get a meal ticket.  To survive you need a meal ticket.  To stay alive you need a meal ticket.  The Celtics got their meal ticket alright.  We’re not talking McDonald’s dollar menu meal ticket.  We’re not talking Swanson’s Hungry Man meal ticket.  We’re talking Peter Luger’s.  We’re talking Sparks.  We’re talking Dylan Prime.  We’re talking United States Grade A  juicy porterhouse.  We’re talking Kevin Garnett.  We’re talking the man who almost single-handedly turned around the NBA’s most storied franchise.  From pretender to contender.  He’s not doing it with all that fancy pants stuff.  He’s not doing it with all that  prancy pants stuff.  He’s not doing it with all that dancy pants stuff.  We can dance if we want to.  We can leave your friends behind.  He doesn’t take off from the foul line.  Dipsy-doo dunkeroo slam-jam-bam thank you ma’am.  He doesn’t fill it up for eighty.  He brings his lunch pail.  Night after night.  Fight after fight.  Brings his lunch pail night after night and wills the Celtics to victory.  Wills them to victory with his leadership.  His leadership on defense.  Defense wins championships.  Just ask the San Antonio Spurs.  Just as the Big Fundamental.  Another cat who should be mentioned before King James and the Mamba.  Kevin Garnett is a superstar.  Lives large.  A big house.  Five cars.  He’s in charge.  He is the best all around player in the league.  He scores.  He defends.  He rebounds.  He makes everybody around him better.  Everybody.  You know who does that on the Lakers?  Huh?  Do ya?  Pau.  That’s who.  So while everybody’s jerkin’ Kobe.  So while everybody’s jerkin’ LeBron.  Have the goddam common courtesy to give the Big Ticket a reach-around.  I’ll be watching you.

Josh Q. Public:  Only the beginning of what I want to feel forever.  Only the beginning. Only just the start.  I’ve got to get you into my life.  Got to get you next to me.  Only the beginning.  Only just the start.  -Chicago

Public Service Announcement:  OK, here we go!  Boston Celtics Basketball.  The new Big Three.  Think Big!  Pierce.  Garnett.  Allen.  The PGA Tour.  These guys are good.  Before we get started, know this:  I love the Red Sox.  I love the Patriots.  I love the Boston College Screamin’ Eagles.  I love the Celtics more.  I started going to games in the year 2 BB.  Before Bird.  Dave Cowens.  Hondo.  Jo-Jo.  Ernie D.  The Polish Powerhouse Steve Kuberski.  The following year we saw Pistol Pete. We saw Bob McAdoo.  Cornbread Maxwell and Tiny had just arrived.  But none of the games stood out.  The team was horrible.  I was just a little kid who was glad to be out with his older brothers.  But then it happened.  John Havlicek night happened.  The night of his retirement.  Greer is putting the ball in play.  He gets it out deep and Havlicek steals it!  Over to Sam Jones!  Havlicek stole the ball!  It’s all over…It’s all over!  Johnny Havlicek stole the ball!  The Garden was electric.  It was the first time in my life I was there when it was sold out.  It was sold out and people were going crazy.  Bedlam.  Pandemonium.  I was hooked.  I knew, then and there, that I was going to be spending a lot of time in that old place.  The following year, my family got seasons, the Celtics got Bird, and I got the treat of my life.  A chance to see a dynasty first hand.  I want to see another one.  In 1986, I never saw the Celtics lose.  Never.  I want that felling again.  Why not us?  Why not now?  The time is here.

It all started last fall.  First there were the Iverson mumblings.  Then there were the Pau Gasol rumblings.  Then the Matrix grumblings.  Garnett says no.  The Celtics lose out in the Greg Oden/Kevin Duran sweepstakes.  More of the same old - same old.  Next thing you know, Sugar Ray Allen is a Celtic.  Nice move.  I could live with that.  Then came the big one.  The Big Ticket one.  Oh, this is the biggest one I ever had.  You hear that Elizabeth?  I’m coming to join you honey.  Kevin Garnett is a Celtic.  MVP Kevin Garnett.  Ten time All-Star Kevin Garnett.  All-Star MVP.  Eight time All-NBA and All-Defensive teams.  The first guy to average at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists per game for 6 consecutive seasons.  The first guy to average at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists per game for 9 consecutive seasons.  The first guy to reach at least 18,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, 4,000 assists, 1,200 steals, and 1,500 blocks in his playing career.  The Big Ticket.  The Kid.  The Franchise.  KG.  He’s here.  He’s really really here.   

Now in all this all this hoop-la with Allen and Garnett, let’s not forget about the Truth.  The Truth is, he’s the most underrated player in the world, and nobody can tell me different.  But Paul Pierce could not do it alone.  When I was young, I never needed anyone.  And making love was just for fun.  Those days are gone.  All by myself.  Don’t wanna be all by myself anymore.  Now that Boston got somebody to rebound the ball effectively.  You can’t win without the ball.  Now that Boston got somebody to rebound the ball effectively and they have somebody to handle the ball with consistency.  You can’t win if you can’t hold onto the ball.  Now that Boston got somebody to rebound the ball effectively and they have somebody to handle the ball with consistency, they will start winning some ball games.  A lot of ball games.  Throw in a guy who can shoot the ball, that’s a lot more ball games.  Once they start winning ball games consistently, Pierce’s accolades will come.  It’s tough to win awards, when you’re not winning ball games.  The Celtics will win ball games.  Pierce will win awards.  And that’s the double truth, Ruth.

So now we begin a new journey.  You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind.  A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!  The first step in the journey takes place tonight at the soldout TD Banknorth Garden where the Celtics open the season against the Washington Wizards.  Why not us?  Why not now?  The time is here.  It all starts now.
