I’ve Already Mentally Prepped Myself For the Celtics Ruining Christmas

Less than a week ago, here were the current state of affairs with the Boston Celtics:

The entire month of December, and really the whole season for the Celtics hasn’t gone the way some people have planned. And when I say some people….

What better time to turn the ship around than a nationally televised Christmas game. In my brain, this is the time NBA games actually start to mean something. November games are extended preseason. This unofficially begins the sprint of the real season.
Reason I think that? Maybe it’s because of how the Sixers season played out just a year ago. It was pretty parallel with Boston’s mediocre play thus far, minus the lofty expectations. In the two weeks leading up to the Christmas Day game, the Sixers looked like absolute shit, just like the Celtics. They got blown out at home against the lowly Suns, just like the Celtics did. Joel Embiid hurt his back and we were down a star player, just li-…oh wait the Celtics have all their players they just flat out stink.
Regardless, when Embiid returned for the Christmas Day MSG game, it was a spark that put us on the right path for the back half of the schedule. The waters steadied.
Here’s hoping the Celtics don’t follow that storyline and ruin Christmas.
This has the makings of a potentially very aggregating week. There are few things I detest more than the Boston Celtics or Kirk Cousins. But, both parties have the opportunity to ruin the holidays and quality time with my loved ones. It would be pretty on brand for them. But, it is the season of giving, and I am giving my heart to St. Nick. Hopefully it goes full Grinch and grows three sizes like Nick Foles’ penis does in the 4th quarter of big games.
