The kids are starting to go back to school. Football is starting back up again. The NBA schedule has been released for the upcoming season. You can feel it in the air that the world is turning forward to the coming year.

But I can’t let go of the Boston Celtics Championship season that easily. It was too hard fought. By all of us (of course). We trudged through years of uncertainty. Spent countless hours defending our team to friends that remained unconvinced. Poured our hearts into snarky comebacks to online trolls on social media. All to just to stand at the top of the mountain and say “see, I told you so.”

So before we turn the corner to the new year, I want us all to look back and appreciate the championship season that was. We can start by remembering all our favorite regular season games (or moments if you like) from the 2023-24 season.

Was it opening night when Kristaps Porzingis showed exactly what kind of cheat code he was going to be for this team? Was it Christmas day when we got to open up a Beat LA under the tree? Was it beating Miami …all 3 times we played them? Or perhaps Golden State?

There are plenty to choose from, share with us your favorites in the comments below.

Other topics:

• When did you KNOW that this was going to be a title favorite team?
• What was your biggest test of faith moment/game?
• At what point did you see others panicking and tell them that we had this under control (and why were you confident)?

We’ll get to next year soon enough. Let’s live in the recent past for just a little bit longer.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are kicking off a bus tour in western Pennsylvania today.

The Harris campaign is hoping to continue the momentum she has seen in recent polling as the Democratic National Convention approaches. 

Harris will land in the Pittsburgh area along with her running mate Tim Walz and they’ll be joined by Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and Gwen Walz. 

It’s the first time Harris, Walz, and their spouses will appear on the campaign trail since they were all together at their first rally in Philadelphia nearly two weeks ago. 

Now, they’re headed to our area and that’s where their bus tour will begin. The campaign said the stops will focus on smaller events such as canvassing, phone banks, and making stops at local retailers. 

This comes just a couple of days after Harris released her economic plan, mentioning her intentions to eliminate medical debt, cap prescription drug costs, and provide first-time home buyers with a $25,000 subsidy, among other things. 

The campaign plans to hit both Allegheny and Beaver Counties, the latter being a key to President Joe Biden winning the 2020 election. Beaver County is typically a red county, but it helped propel Biden and Harris to the White House four years ago. 

Of course, Pennsylvania has 19 electoral votes, and the Real Clear Politics polling average has former President Donald Trump and Harris tied. Harris has gained momentum since President Biden made his decision to drop out of the race. 

This bus tour, and the DNC starting this week, are looked at by the Harris campaign as a way to keep the momentum going as the November election approaches. 

We’ll have more on Vice President Harris’s visit throughout the day on KDKA-TV as well as KDKA.com.
