Good win for the Celtics, even though they started off terrible. Heat fans are always wanting to trade their whole team for some star or other. I'm surprised at how much they hate Spoelstra through. The Celtics are fortunate to have Brad and Joe. Heat fans hate so much on their own team. Picturing Payton Pritchard as a garden gnome cracked me up. I loved the loud cheers for the Celtics in the arena. I got to watch my only Celtics game live ...
