The montage

Thanks to Ferrante, our agent in the field, for capturing this live footage of the Celtics-Rocky montage put together by the Celtics crew to show before game 5 on Wednesday night. As I described, the crowd was so intense before the game that the building wasn't that loud. Everyone seemed to be sitting, staring at the court very purposefully. This was not one of those nights when you drink 20 beers and come to the game feeling happy with a carefully prepared list of insults for your opponents. Wendesday night was all about taking care of business. Everyone was in a silent rage. But, notice around the 2 minutes mark, after they show the video of Hawks dominance in games 3 and 4 (which I parallel to the memory of Apollo's death). Suddenly, the crowd stands and begins going to work with their cheers. As you saw, the results were perfect. The crowd was nuts all game. We can only hope the team has something similar up their sleeve for tomorrow afternoon.
