Celtics back up point guard Nate Robinson came off the bench to make big plays and keep the speed of the game at a very fast pace. He also ignited the team and the fans with his wild enthusiasm, but that was nothing compared to the moves displayed by Big Baby (Glen Davis, Celtics back up forward). Who would ever guess that a fellow of his size could move with such agility? And I don't just mean the incredible plays he was making on the court while powering through the Lakers to score 18 points, 11 of them in the second half. This man can do a little dance, shake his tail feathers and get down tonight. His celebratory jigs were quite entertaining, as was his description of himself as "a beast" in his postgame interview. During this interview, Nate Robinson referred to the duo as Shrek and Donkey, very fitting comparison.
Again I find myself contemplating what I would wear if I was a die hard Boston fan. This could prove to be even more challenging than donning the dreaded purple/gold combo because I simply do not do green. Green as in caring for the environment, of course, you will always see me gathering my collection of reusable cloth bags from my extremely fuel efficient Prius as I enter the grocery store, but wearing the color is an entirely different topic.
I trace my fear of green back to an outfit my very sweet and otherwise extremely tasteful mother made for me and forced me to wear while attending kindergarten. In summary, this was a very thick, forest green polyester suit with bell bottoms and an overly wide collar. The buttons were the oh so fashionable brown plastic logs and the ensemble was finished off with a mint green shirt under the jacket. I will not further expand on the 'get-up' as I don't want to upset my mom (she's sure to read this and has been the key contributor to my love of shopping ever since the dreaded suit situation. In fact I cannot count the days she took me out of school to head over to the big city of Pensacola for a day of shopping. Truly an amazing mother). Needless to say the suit was not a pretty sight, but it was this very outfit that has scarred me for life, forcing me to steer clear of the spectrum of green colors.
My personal boycott of green would prove problematic if I was a Beantown gal, so I did a little research and found a dress that even I could contemplate wearing to support the Celtics. Click on this link for a peek at the dress:

And especially for my NFL/Tom Brady crazed friend Terri, something else quite pretty to ponder...a spectator at Game 3 in Boston, hopefully cheering on his fellow Boston sports team.
More after Game 5...xoxo

Great Dress! But then, I think the suit sounds precious! You're always the epitome of fashion, Lacy. My hero on and off the court. I'd say your mama taught you well-

I love green accessories. I would wear white with a large green necklace and some patten leather green shoes. But, then again, I actually like green altogether. I never knew about the suit.
I never knew you didn't like green- and for such a reason! You're poor mother- just trying to help you look cute!! :) I love the story- I can just envision the outfit now. Oh if we have a little girl next, she will NEVER be in school. In fact, I'll just homeschool her and we'll take her shopping. All. The. Time. Daniel is PRAYING for a boy now! :)
