Tired trope. Likely used by folks that have little time spent anywhere but their current location and certainly not used by anyone that has spent time in Boston compared to other cities. Please give it a rest.

Is it tired? Here are some receipts:
Green said that during the 2022 Finals at TD Garden, Celtics fans used racial slurs toward him, including the N-word. He said the atmosphere in some home games was worse than he’d ever experienced

James publicly said that Boston fans are “racist as f—” during an episode of The Shop. He described being subjected to racist behavior and also said his wife has experienced similar hostility in Boston.

Irving expressed concern about “subtle racism” from Celtics fans when playing there after leaving the team.

Smart also shared a specific incident: after asking a woman in a Celtics jersey to move out of a street for safety, the woman reportedly yelled a racial slur at him.

During a game versus the Golden State Warriors, DeMarcus Cousins reported that a fan used a racial slur toward him. The Celtics investigated. Although investigators could not conclusively verify the slur via video or interviews, they concluded the fan had verbally abused the Warriors bench. The fan (a minor) was banned from Celtics games for two years and placed under lifetime probation.

Every fanbase has bad apples, but this just seems to be something that follows the Celtics fan base pretty consistently. More than others.

Even if he does report to training camp, I don't see him lasting beyond it. I wouldn't be surprised if he got bought out and found his way to a contender that isn't in the second apron (so he can't go to Cleveland).

Kevin Love can be a great mentor, he won nba championship and was s star player, he has plenry experience to share with young players.
Ehhhhh, that is not Love's strong suit. Very short temper and loves to pout and whine.UcanUwill wrote:Iwasawitness wrote:I don't really see what purpose love serves for a team like this. If they were at least contenders that would be one thing. But they aren't anywhere close to being at that point.

If Love cannot provide you much on the court, I wouldn't be keeping him around for what he offers off the court. He can be a giant baby, which he demonstrated in the post-Lebron era in Cleveland.
It's weird how everyone assumes end-of-the-line vets are "good mentors."
Like westbrook is going to not want to take your court time? Like McCollum isn't going to be gunning for his next contract?
