Game Day falls on the last Sunday of the month, Game 7 of an Eastern Conference Final re-match, down at the fancy gym on Causeway St.
A plucky bunch of re-vamped but snake-bitten Boston Celtics are out for revenge against the team that had rather easily dispatched them in five games twelve months earlier. One of the team’s up-and-coming stars has coyly quipped, “I’m not going to say anything, but we got them in Boston last time.”
The confident speaker of those words was none other than Jo Jo White, that “snake” – actually a solid Dave DeBusschere screen back in Game 3 – had bitten not Hayward or Irving, but C’s captain John Havlicek in the right shoulder.
