YEah he's lost this team somehow someway. Amazing actually in he's soft and lets them play what they want. But they're done with him for some reason. Perhaps he's just too stupid and they see and realize that. That could be it.

But I can't remember a time I was embarrassed as a Celts fan. I am now. That was embarrassing.

I prefer to fight til the end.


Just wish the coach and players would have your mindset and will

The players quit, not us the fans

These Heat bums just got hot at the right time.

You guys really believe they're beating the Nuggets in the finals?

Jimmy and Spo are legit.

But those other Heat players are playing beyond their talent level.

It's a maturity issue.

This feeling is similar to 2003, after Pierce and the Cs got eliminated when they just made the ECF in 2002.

And maybe not you, but some Cs fans already quit after Game 2.

Just shut up already! Admit you are wrong with your outrageous takes against the heat.

Didn't you say Celtics in 7?

Still think this series goes to a Game 7?


Of course not. We ain’t winning this series. At least i’m not dumb enough to belittle the heat. Actually all your takes was dead wrong. You said a sweep didn’t you? You said the heat were pretenders. The cavs were pretenders, the knicks were pretenders. You said gabe vincent won’t shoot like that again. Heck you said the heat won’t shoot like that again. All your takes were bad awful. Guys here were laughing hard at your face actually. and here you come back like all high and mighty lol. You are the worst troll ever!

Maturity issue lol. These core has been playing for years. Been to several conf finals, a finals berth. This is who they are. They will be the same 2-3 yrs from now.

How is it trolling if I don't believe in the Heat?

Like I said, how many rings Spo got after Lebron left?

Does Jimmy have a ring?

You claim Cs are bad and Heat are very good, but say Cs in 7.

That doesn't make sense because you're contradicting yourself.

If team A is bad and team B is good then it's common sense that team will win, not the other way around.

Clearly you've not been watching the NBA long enough.

How old and how long did it take for Jordan, Bron, and KD to get their first ring?

Smh!
The celtics are better. They have a better roster, that’s why i thought they will win this series. I even said they’d win in 5. But, i knew the heat won’t be pushovers. It’s fine if you don’t believe in the heat. You are a homer, i get it. Some posters are. But, to say that the heat are bums and pretenders, then something off right there. The problem with you, is you never know when to stop. Even if you are dead wrong, you still justify them with another outrageous posts after another. Just admit you were wrong about the heat, and we can all move on from this.
Plus for your info, just because posters, celtics fans thinks the other team is playing great, doesn’t mean we are rooting for them. Big diff. I’m a basketball fan overall, so i don’t support the team blindly, and i appreciate other teams, especially if they are playing beautiful basketball.

Nope. The nuggets ain’t stupid and soft like “our” team.
They have an all time great player, and a number 2 that fits well with the number 1. A coach that understands his team.
So no, the heat won’t beat them.

Yeah, it's true this Celtics team plays dumb and make stupid mistakes.

The IQ has to improve if this Cs team is to become a real contender.

Really disappointed with Jaylen in this series.

Jaylen already has his 1 foot out. He’s like a robot this series. Better trade him this off season before he lowers his value even more.

Are we just going to ban everyone until there’s nobody left? Park fought for me to come back when Canman perma banned me for saying he shouldn’t be a mod. What happened to that Parl?


FFS this is not appropriate. Send a PM if you want. This is the game thread. I want to watch this game without being stressed out by people's grievances that I'm not even aware of.


You strike me as a good dude, and zero beef with you at all. But if you don't want to mod, why be a mod?

Not telling you how to mod, mind you. Just poster to poster on that.

Man if you want to be a mod, volunteer yourself.

If you are going to couch mod, maybe don't go after a mod who has taken his responsibilities seriously, and a guy who always takes the time to put together a post-game thread moments after any big win or loss...especially when he merely asked someone to take their complaints and lies (or misconceptions) about past disciplinary actions to PMs instead of a game thread.

I don't think tight playoff rotations are a fit for this team. We need to go deeper than 7-8 guys.

I'm in shambles. That was horrible and I saw that after accidentally seeing the result.

Let the people rejoice in our failures, let them vent to their hearts content within the rules, cause I'm not going anywhere and I'm going to be positive every season I'm here!

Give me some Hahas when it's all over, I have been a sports fan all my life, it comes with the territory, that is part of the fun! You can't break me! I mean purely evil negativity can, but not bagging on me about losing, cause I like trash talking. I live in Florida, few hours from Mia, you CELTICS FANS have nothing on these people (some family and friends)!! They don't even watch til the team is winning but they gon drag you for filth when they do! You ever been talked about by people who don't even know anyone except Jimmy? They are ignant and don't care, they say wild stuff and you can't even retort because they wouldn't know what you're talking about!

Come at me, give me all you got, ABOUT CELTICS AND BASKETBALL!

Agree with a lot of this but not the "part of the fun!". Nothing about this is fun lol

Spoiler:
I hear you! Mods are going to need a safe room if tomorrow doesn't end in our favor. Good luck to us! Sorry I left you guys to this, I really thought this was our guaranteed win. I guess I'm cocky like the team, with nothing to show for it. :banghead:

Did it again!! Sorry!!! Just let it ride, don't need another post. :nonono:

Not couch modding or going after anyone lol. Never had any issue with dude and don’t expect to. Just wondering if he knows what he signed up for. You want to watch the game in peace, do that instead. Or do I have that wrong? Lmao.

Fwiw, I can assure you that it is highly mutual that I will never mod here. I did once serve as a mod on a board with much higher traffic for like 7 years, and know a bit about it though.
