Been on this board literally 20 years, & have been 90% + through thick & thin.
I used to get all over the dudes who were invariably negative.

We just missed #18 & **** up the last couple of years.
This year is put up or shut up time for me.
7 & JT, although still pretty young, have been here a LONG time together, & now they have Zinger, DWhite, Jrue & ageless Al.
They have the talent.
Now is the mother **** time!

MANY of us who have been around a long time are fed up.
That is why I have become hypercritical.
You wanna put me in the ‘meltdown crew’?
Go for it.
IDNGAF.

Nonetheless, I will always hope for the best & root hard.
Would totally love to be wrong about Bubbles & the lack of grit when it counts.

Nah, the Meltdown Crew are fine as is.

Celtic losses are few this season.
That's why when the M-Crew get a chance, they serve us with some "fine whine". :lol:

What you guys think?

Celts have not lost 3 in a row this season.

Are they ready to lose 3 in a row for the first time?

Nope. Ain't gonna happen.
Not in the Playoffs, either.

Go C's.

Also, I have absolutely no interest in making the postgame thread today if anyone was interested in hearing about my current personal motivation level.

FUN FACT: The Celtics only have one wire-to-wire loss this season. Their 15 games w/ a blown lead are the least in the NBA (2nd least is 19 by OKC).

Hopefully we get a close game just to see if we ever do something new late in games which hasn’t been the case in years now.

Not an encouraging start... Seems like issues are carrying over from past games

The Pelicans' feed is awful.
