Boston Celtics Fans Confident Ahead Of Game 4 Against The New York Knicks

BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — Boston Celtics fans are feeling more confident about the team’s ability to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

On Sunday, the Celtics beat the New York Kicks 115-93 at Madison Square Garden after losing the first two games at home. Now that the series is guaranteed to come back to TD Garden for Game 5, Celtics fans believe the team has all the momentum.

“I think we’re coming back a little stronger. We have a little bit more depth,” said one fan. “It’s always been a big rivalry, and I like our chances. I think we have a good chance of taking it all.”

The Celtics have been stronger on the road than at home, only losing eight away games during the regular season. The team’s performance in Game 3 was enough to bring championship aspirations back to the minds of Bostonians.

“They look absolutely incredible and hopefully they can get the job done,” said another fan.

Game 4 is Monday at 7:30 p.m. at Madison Square Garden. Game 5 will take place at TD Garden on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.

Start by checking if the florist is BBB Accredited on \u003ca href=\”https://www.bbb.org/\” target=\”_blank\”>BBB.org\u003c/a>. BBB Accreditation signifies a commitment to ethical business practices and customer satisfaction. \u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cstrong>Read customer reviews. \u003c/strong>Feedback matters! Look for customer reviews on \u003ca href=\”https://www.bbb.org/\” target=\”_blank\”>BBB.org\u003c/a>. Read what previous customers say and see how the business handles complaints. Genuine customer experiences can provide insights into the quality of service and products.\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cstrong>Verify the seller’s contact information. \u003c/strong>Scam florists often use fake addresses or phone numbers. Verify the florist’s physical address and contact information. Legitimate businesses are transparent about their location.\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cstrong>Check for secure websites. \u003c/strong>Ensure the florist’s website \u003ca href=\”https://www.bbb.org/all/spot-a-scam/how-to-identify-a-fake-website\” target=\”_blank\”>uses secure connections\u003c/a> (https://). Look for security badges and verify the website’s authenticity before providing personal and payment information.\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cstrong>Get to know the business policies.\u003c/strong> Be wary of exceptionally low prices or deals that seem too good to be true. Review the florist’s pricing structure, understand delivery fees and policies, and read the fine print before making a purchase. Find out the florist’s return policy, whether they have a satisfaction guarantee, how their delivery process works, and what additional fees they charge.\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cstrong>Review the seller’s photos and advertisements.\u003c/strong> Ensure that the seller uses realistic imagery in their photos. Scam florists may use stock images or misrepresent the quality of their products. Look for realistic and varied arrangements. \u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cstrong>Use secure payment methods.\u003c/strong> Legitimate florists accept secure payment methods, such as credit cards. Credit card payments provide additional protection if you need to dispute charges. Avoid making payments through wire transfers, as these transactions are often associated with scams. \u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cstrong>Understand order placement and delivery timelines. \u003c/strong>Understand the florist’s delivery policies, including estimated delivery times and guarantees.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Reputable florists provide clear information on delivery processes and address concerns promptly. Florists may charge extra for quick deliveries or require orders to be placed ahead of time, especially around holidays. If you want your flowers delivered on time, don’t wait until the last minute. \u003c/blockquote>\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WBZ’s Emma Friedman (\u003c/strong>\u003ca

"As we have noted previously, Rumeysa is a student in good standing, and nothing in her co-authored op-ed of March 26, 2024, in The Tufts Daily student newspaper violated either the university’s gatherings, protests, and demonstrations policy or its Declaration on Freedom of Expression.

He brought uncommon wisdom and kindness to a lifetime of public service. After retiring to his beloved New Hampshire in 2009, he continued to render significant service to our branch by sitting regularly on the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit for more than a decade. He will be greatly missed,” said Chief Justice John Roberts in a statement. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Souter often voted with the court’s liberal members. In 1992, he co-authored an opinion with Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, affirming the federal right to abortion under Roe v. Wade. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>He also notably dissented to the decision in Bush v. Gore in 2000, which halted the recount of the presidential election in Florida and essentially declared George W. Bush president. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Souter retired from the court in 2009, giving President Barack Obama the chance to appoint Justice Sonia Sotomayor. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Souter was born on Sept. 17, 1939 in Melrose, Mass. He went on to receive undergraduate and law degrees from Harvard University and spent two years as a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>He started work as a lawyer in Concord, N.H. and eventually worked his way up to attorney general of the state. He then became a judge on the New Hampshire Supreme Court for many years. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Along with hearing cases on the First Circuit, Souter participated in conservations around civics

Tongue Twisted Town Tales.”\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Written by \u003ca

the book started hitting bookshelves last week. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Rotondo said the book is full of untold stories of Massachusetts towns along with the strangely pronounced names including Woburn, Reading, Stoneham, and Quincy. "Each of these towns has its own personality, and part of what makes up the town’s personalities are these incredible stories that somehow have gotten lost in time." \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>She described the book as part guide, part history, with some sarcastic musings mixed in. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>The book includes some of the more bizarre pronunciations of towns and cities that only locals would know, such as ‘Quincy,’ home of the iconic ‘Dunkin.’ "What I didn’t know is that the donut was invented by a guy who lived in Quincy for a time," Rotondo said. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Also in the book, the inside story behind the somewhat out-of-place huge statue of \u003ca href=\”https://www.britannica.com/biography/Leif-Erikson\” target=\”_blank\”>\u003cstrong>Leif Erikson\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Rotondo writes it’s because a Harvard Professor of Chemistry named \u003ca href=\”https://www.nationalgalleries.org/art-and-artists/104123\” target=\”_blank\”>\u003cstrong>Ebon Norton Horsford\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> and a group of intellectuals he hung around with back in the late 1800s didn’t want \u003ca

\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Horsford paid for the bronze statue of Erickson with his own money. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WBZ NewsRadio’s Chaiel Schaffel \u003c/strong>\u003ca
