I've loved what we've seen from the new look C's to start the season. Sure, the Knicks game felt a little too familiar (in the worst ways), but Porzingis saved us late.
Last night, the C's scored 155 points (2nd highest in team history) and beat the Pacers by a cool 51.
That's all well and good. I had fun watching, but we're the fucking Boston Celtics. Blowing out a shitty Pacers team on November 1st isn't what we're playing for. We know it's all about 18 (even though I hate the Yankee-ness of that slogan). We've gotten so close. There's been so many close calls and heartbreaks. I'm trying to enjoy the ride but I'm ready for the playoffs...where the ball truly matters (and it's spring, so it's nice out. Fall's barely started, and I'm already over the cold). It's stressful. Not like playoff stressful, but it's sometimes hard to enjoy the regular season when the expectations are so high. Like the I.T. years and early Jays C's,,,,,those were fun ass years. The 2018 playoff run was a delight. Now, the pressure is on, but it does seem like the Jays are hungrier than ever and ready to take the next step. #cliche. Jrue and Porzingis have been fantastic. You'd like to see such a tall guy be better on the glass, but I mean, woke Dozo can say it...Euro bigs aren't exactly tough. Dare I even say #soft?
But as for the C's new threads... After leaking some sneak peaks here and there over the past week, the Celtics officially unveiled their 2023-24 City Edition unis today, and they are gorgeous. If I had a better body that could pull off a jersey, I'd cop one. 
That may sound like a biased Boston homer take, but I genuinely mean it. These are wicked aesthetically pleasing and jam-packed with detail (which I LOVE as a history guy).
I have no qualms shitting on one of my teams' unis. I've hated the 2020s Pats uniforms since the instant I saw them. I stopped pouring my heart and soul into the Red Sox because John Henry ruined that wonderful game for me. You can trust me here. These are just straight-up beautiful jerseys. I just wish they said "Celtics" instead of Boston. I know they're the "city edition" jerseys, but there are teams' with their real name or a nickname on them. It doesn't take anything away from these; I just like the uniforms that say "Celtics" better, and it feels like we have too many that say Boston. I wish our road greens still did. These were simple but perfect uniforms.
The 4-0 Celtics debut these new threads on November 10th in the franchise's first-ever in-season tournament game. I still don't entirely understand how this thing works, but it feels too gimmicky and try-hard from the Association. I'm going to give it a chance, it's just like...who fucking cares? It's just a money grab. We're playing for another banner. All that matters to me this season is staying healthy. Homecourt would be nice, but the C's are high-key trash at home in the playoffs.
I will gladly admit the in-season tourney courts are sick.
But the NBA needs to bring these floors back! The NBA Finals: Presented by YoutubeTV needs that extra pizzazz!!
