Lessons from Celtics-Clippers: casual holiday obliteration

The holidays are for a lot of things. It’s a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, a time to relax, unwind, and chase the girl of your dreams through the airport on Christmas Eve to the theme from Chariots of Fire, ignoring all relevant security measures in the name of true love.

But it’s also a time for unending NBA basketball, as part of the deal for professional basketball players is occasionally getting sent on a holiday west coast trip. The Celtics drew that straw this year, and event number one was to have their heart broken by Stephen Curry, causing me to lose my entire mind.
