What I want to know is where were all these fans ten years ago.
I've been at school here in boston for 4 years now and have been to about
3 games (tickets are impossible to get), yet my older brothers will
tell you of the days when they got Celtics- Knicks playoff tickets IN BOSTON
the day of the game at the stadium - it hadn't sold out yet.
Now, all of a sudden, with a team loaded with pale stars the fans
flock to the garden.

Well, I'll stick with the Knicks (unless Steinbrener buys them).
