Anyone who’s spent time on the app formerly known as Twitter has probably seen the meme, “It’s been 84 years…” taken from a scene from the film Titanic. it’s internet lingo that represents waiting forever for something.
In the case of Celtics fans, we’ve done the math and know it’s been 16 years since the last banner was raised. It only feels like it might’ve been 84. Considering the many missteps, unlucky bounces and near misses the Celtics have experienced since 2008, we have definitely earned the right to enjoy the special night ahead.
