Luck of the Irish: Celts come from behind and beat Spurs

After trailing by 17 in the 2nd quater the Celtics got back on track and squeaked out a victory over the San Antonio Spurs. Two big threes by Sam Cassell and Eddie House gave the Celtics a 2 point lead with a minute to go in the 4th. Rondo came through with a big offensive rebound and went on to nail two free throws.

With 4.3 seconds left KG made a big turnover but Big Shot Bob Horry was not able to come through with a game winner 3 pointer.

Huge win to start off this texas triangle trip. We know this trip will be like playoff atmosphere.The celtics now go on to play the Houston Rockets and look to break up the record breaking streak of wins. The celtics will win tommorow and will win in confincing fashion.

happy st pattys day!

Today is the day where everyone wants to be Irish and get drunk.

My grandmother is straight from Ireland and still has family over there, one being her brother Micheal - whom when he came to visit,  taught me how real Irishmen do it: drink numerous pints of Guinness (not my favorite beer) all this being done before Noon.

Another memory that goes along with St Pattys for me, is when i was ages 10-13, going with my best friends parents, to a local irish pub, packed to the brim. Drunk irish men singing along to the group Murphy’s Law (who are now back in Ireland).  Theres nothing like drunk people singing along to good irish music. Now whenever I hear those few songs that i can remember, i find my self tapping my feet, clapping my hands and reaching for a “pint”.

Ill leave you with three of my fav’s and maybe they motivate you to go to your favorite pub and grab some green beer:

Also as the group Murphy’s Law also ended their show : ” May the wind at your back…….never be your own!”

Tim Finnegans Wake- (where the drunk Irish people have to clap during the chorus and stop right when its ended)
