COMMENTARY
Observations from a professional Celtics fan on the team’s recent three game road trip …
What it was like being with the team following the Kobe Bryant news.
I don’t think anything I can write can adequately address the sorrow and pain of the Kobe Bryant tragedy. I will do my best to capture my own reactions and feelings from being in New Orleans for the Celtics-Pelicans game on Sunday shortly after the horrible news broke. Arriving at the arena, there was a palpable air of sadness and emptiness. I didn’t exchange my typical boisterous greetings with the other writers on the beat, just solemn head nods as we made our way into the arena.
