Bill Sy saw we were out at dinner and sent me a Venmo to cover the bill. He didn\u2019t need to do that.

It was the central spot for all of us message board warriors and wayward bloggers to meet and talk about what we cared about most. The internet for Celtics fans 20 years ago was ill defined so CelticsBlog allowed us all to create a critical mass in our fandom. From there so many things grew\u2026.

After the Red\u2019s Army founders retired the site a couple of years ago, I was thrilled to become an occasional contributor with CelticsBlog. The current staff is filled with energetic and enthusiastic young writers. I appreciate their talents and enjoy being able to see their creativity up close.

The way we can all come together and discuss the Celtics is brilliant and fascinating. Over the years the Blog has become a great place for people to discuss Celtics fandom, the growth of the league and the sport as a whole.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"8OyAEw\">I actually stumbled into my role in moderation on the site and later writing recaps via the user \u201c\u201dClover\u201d\u201d who walked away from duties with the site and recommended myself to Jeff.

For me, I have the grave distinction of publishing what\u2019s inarguably the worst take in the 20-year history of this website, when on February 11, 2022\u2014a day that lives in infamy\u2014I declared that the Derrick White trade was a disaster. I\u2019m haunted by that article. He\u2019s already a Celtics legend for that game winning tip-in from the conference finals. He made an all-star leap this year, revolutionizing shot blocking from the guard position and seemingly never missing a clutch three. The more he thrives, the more I\u2019m reminded of that article. D-White plays with an anticipation and tenacity that epitomizes the winning culture of the Boston Celtics, and that knee-jerk reaction torments my basketball-loving soul. So thank you, CelticsBlog, for giving me the platform to publish this hall of fame freezing cold take, and check it out (or don\u2019t\u2026 please don\u2019t) if you want some high-grade unintentional comedy.\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"T9ILPY\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.celticsblog.com\/2022\/2\/11\/22929311\/sorry-folks-derrick-white-trade-disaster-josh-richardson-jayson-tatum-jaylen-brown-romeo-langford\">The Derrick White trade is a disaster<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"15Kr7H\"><strong>Jimmy Toscano\t<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"qLxCtK\">CelticsBlog was, is, and always will be where I could find the pulse of Celtics Nation.

It feels quaint now with how much the internet has changed, but I loved how the blog created a real feeling of community.
