Players-wise, no. Fan-wise, yes. I was getting texts from my mom about the game. Figured I'd be be the asshole hanging out and watching the game in the corner at the holiday party and instead the girl I picked up demanded to know if the game would be on before agreeing to go... It had legitimately gone beyond something casual/fairweather fans were excited for and crossed into the cultural zeitgeist here in Boston. I heard it was the highest rated regular season game since 1990 when Larry Bird was playing Magic Johnson in
one of these games.
