To be honest, Celtic post-game threads on realGM are some of my favorite reading material every year in the playoffs - Celtic playoff implosions never disappoint!

After losses, you drama queens are always talking about breaking things in frustration or how your team is made up of mental midgets :lol:


My post here are consistent and obvious because I said it from the start. You gotta fight the trolling with trolling.

The Heat didn't want this problem but they have it anyway. You wanna coast through the regular season and party? Well you have the almighty to deal with.

Being critical of my team means unlike the lot of the heat fans I ain't delusional about what im seeing.

Celtics in 5 baby.

The “almighty?” :lol: You guys just lost at home to an 8 seed without its best player and another starter. You realize everyone can see through the fake bravado, right?


I remember Jordan losing to the Nets in the first round. I remember the Mavs losing a series to the 8th seed.

Who cares. It's not unprecedented.

Call me when bron carries you to another unfilling title.

Everyone sees right through Miami fragile insecure we woulda won if we had better players lol excuses.

You lost to Marcus Smart in the ECF. That's embarrassing.

You know, as someone who's said the Celtics will win, has been around this message board for a couple of decades, and works with people with mental health issues (including bipolar disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, and psychosis, among many), I feel qualified to tell you that your smack talk sounds more like insecurity than it does good natured smack talk. Maybe go outside for a bit, connect with some people... Relax... It will do you some good. Get some perspective. This is just a game...

Yep. I think this is the first time I've set a fellow Celtics fan as a foe. It's like, chill.

Who cares? If you're bad enough in the regular season that you have to play two play-in games to get into the playoffs, then you shouldn't be rewarded with rest for it.

They finished 8th it's not there fault the NBA decided to set up a idiotic playin system so it makes sense they space the games and let the play-in team recover it's legs a bit and make it more competitive. Why should Chicago and Atlanta two sub 500. teams be rewarded for being "bad enough" by having a chance to make it?

It's not my fault the lot of the Miami fans are taking the bait my friend.

Please come back in the finals. I'd love to hear your level headed takes on why the Celtics can't win it :lol:

So, you're free to act like an **** but it's on the Miami fans to be the mature ones? Not really seeing how that works.

I don't think you have a full grasp on what's going on here.

If anyone feels some kind of way about my ridiculousness that's on them. I appreciate you're free diagnosis though, saved me lots of money spent on therapy.

Miami fans can't handle any kind of light trolling that's on them.

The system was in place all season and they knew the consequences of finishing 7th or 8th. And then they lost the first play-in game to boot. Again, they shouldn't be rewarded with rest for subpar play in the regular season. Plus, if they're going to have two 2-game breaks, they should be staggered, not back to back. It's dumb.

My friend. I haven't posted a single serious take in here.

Part of me is jealous that Miami gets to play fast and loose with zero expectations, it’s a fun time to be a fan.


Celtics had that in 2017 when they had absolutely zero business in the ECF and then barely any business being there in 2018 for Tatums rookie season. Those excuses are obviously long gone.

I really hope Joe stops with the panic rotations and looks to lean on Hauser and Pritchard a little more earlier in the game. I’ve seen enough this year where those two have a decent amount of dog in them to get things going. Particularly when the Jay’s start to get sticky and sloppy with the ball.
