We are so back.
We’re not just back, since that would imply that the Celtics merely won the basketball game. At a minimum, I expected us to be back. Had the Celtics not been back, remaining in whatever foreign land they briefly inhabited during Game 2, we would have needed a popular referendum or at least some sort of legislation. But there was another route available, one that would see the Celtics win with conviction and confidence-boosting pride: being so back. And now that’s what we are.
To be so back means that the course has been completely corrected, and the worries of the prior 72 hours have been expunged by clean and simple dominance.
