Reunion cancelled as Pierce and KG sit out with injury

Yesterday I was excited beyond belief.

I was ready for the last opportunity to reminisce and appreciate all the memories I had of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce's time at the Celtics.

Paul Pierce was in Boston for his first 15 seasons in the NBA.

KG joined Pierce in 2007 where he transformed the culture of the team in his 6 year stint with the Celtics.

What did those 6 years for the Celtics mean to me?

Appart from reaching the Finals twice and winning a championship, it was an extremely meaningful period for my life on a personal level. 

We will get into all that mushy stuff another time.

I just wanted the opportunity to pay homage in person because who knows how much longer KG and Pierce will be playing?

I'd been holding onto this opportunity since I saw the schedule in Australia.

Hearing that KG and Pierce weren't playing was heartbreaking.

I have seen them play many times for the Celtics but I feel like I missed my last opportunity to enjoy watching KG and Pierce again.

Garnett and Pierce weren't even in Staples Center. Their absence in itself was just like the old days.

"I know when Kevin doesn't play he never comes to the game," Doc Rivers said. "Paul either for that matter. That's something we set up in Boston."

But how does that make me feel?

It's like Doc was mocking me, teasing me about the good ol' days.

Don't patronise me. Don't antagonise me.

Let me be.

Am I overreacting? Absolutely.

I'm mad and sad.

I know I'll get over it but in the mean time I'm going to reminisce on the good ol' days on youtube.
