THANK YOU. NICE BREEZE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. SO PLENTY OF GREEN IN THE STANDS HERE. EVEN THOUGH WE’RE, YOU KNOW, OVER, WHAT, 1700 MILES AWAY. SO LOTS OF CELTICS FANS MAKING THE TRIP. A COUPLE EVEN ON MY FLIGHT TODAY. SO MORE CERTAINLY HEADING THIS WAY. AND OUR JOSH BROGADIR ALSO IN DALLAS. AND YOU’VE BEEN FINDING THE CELTICS FANS. PLENTY OF THEM. AND THEY’RE PRETTY EXCITED. JOSH. THAT’S RIGHT. ERIKA. YOU KNOW, IT’S A LITTLE HARD TO FIND CELTICS FANS BECAUSE QUITE HONESTLY, IT IS SO HOT OUT OUT. SO THEY’RE NOT WALKING AROUND IN THEIR GREEN LIKE YOU MIGHT EXPECT. BUT LAST NIGHT WE DID DEFINITELY HEAR THAT SMALL BUT VOCAL CADRE INSIDE THE ARENA BEHIND ME. THEY ARE CHEERING ON THEIR CELTICS AND THEY ARE HOPING FOR A SWEEP. THE CELTICS ARE HOPING FOR A START TO FINISH SWEEP ALL GREEN ALL THE TIME IN THE NBA FINALS. AND SPEAKING OF TOP TO BOTTOM GREEN, SOME GREAT FRIENDS GAVE ME SOME GREEN PANTS, INTRODUCING GR NELSON AS IN GEORGE ROBERT NELSON, THE GREEN SHOES THREE YEARS AGO. MY GREEN BOSTON SOCKS BEEN VERY LUCKY. GREEN PANTS A GIFT FROM VERY GOOD FRIENDS IN CHARLESTOWN. HE LIVED A LONG TIME IN CHARLESTOWN AND IS NOW IN WINCHESTER. BUT RIGHT NOW THIS CELTICS SUPER FAN IS ON THE ROAD HOPING TO SEE HISTORY IN DALLAS. GOOD KARMA. I MEAN, I THINK CULTURE AND SPIRIT FIT, RIGHT? THIS TEAM BELIEVES IN THEMSELVES AND THEY MAYBE GET A LITTLE RATTLED SOMETIMES, BUT NOT LIKE IN YEARS PAST. LIKE LAST NIGHT WAS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE. HE’S NOT ALONE IN GREEN. BRENDAN KELLI IS AN EAST BOSTON NATIVE LIVING IN BIG D. HE’S PROOF HE CAN TAKE THE KID OUT OF BOSTON, BUT YOU CAN’T TAKE BOSTON OUT OF THE KID. IT’S TRUE. TEAM UNITY. I’M VERY GRATEFUL TO LIKE, YOU KNOW, WITNESS THIS CHAMPIONSHIP BECAUSE IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN HERE FRIDAY NIGHT AND THEY’RE GOING TO REALLY HATE ME HERE FRIDAY NIGHT. I’M GOING TO HAVE ALL MY GREEN ON BACK TO GR AN ANALYST BY TRADE. HE’S SIZING UP GAME FOUR LIKE THIS. ANY DOUBT IN YOUR MIND THE CELTICS ARE GOING TO SWEEP THIS THING TOMORROW NIGHT. YES I COME FROM A AND LIST BACKGROUND AND YEAH I MEAN THERE’S GOT TO BE DOUBT BUT I BELIEVE WE’RE GOING TO WIN. I LOOK FORWARD TO IT. BUT YEAH IT’S NOT 100%. AND THAT’S WHY WE GO TO THE GAMES. THAT’S WHY WE GO TO THE GAMES. THAT’S WHY THEY PLAY THE GAME. SO NO BOLD PREDICTION FROM HIM ERIKA ON THIS ONE. BU
