netsforce, when are you going to accept that your team is soft as hell, clumpsy as hell, can't hit their free throws etc etc etc?
the nets should have won that game. its not as if the celtics brought their A game last night. the celtics defense is unbelievably good, but they have no control over the other teams free throw percentage.
i think this team is actually softer than the raptors, and thats saying a lot since i'm a raptor fan as well.
and, in general, the soft schedule being brought up is wack, considering they have beat every western team rather easily. and are we really considering the suns, mavs and spurs elite? are they really playing elite basketball right now? to me the lakers, hornets and nuggets are in the same boat with wins...and frankly, when the suns lost to the wolves....is anyone really thinking the celtics will have a hard time with any of those teams?
offense comes and goes. but their defense is legit. they've already embarrassed the nuggets, warriors and lakers. it really shouldn't be that hard, since the mavs, suns and spurs all look like they've lost a step this year.
netsforce, your celtics hate is bordering unbearable. i'm not even a die hard celtic fan, but dear god...give it up!

In all seriousness, NetsForce does have a particular dislike for the Celts- Garnett and Pierce especially.
But, aside from that he is usually a sensible poster. He might blame the refs for the loss yesterday, and that is completely reasonable (most fans do the same thing)- but the Nets didn't play well either and Boston's D was great in the 4th.
Either way, I don't see how the Net's success, or lack of, according to you, are relevant to this discussion?
