Totally agree.
Been waiting too long since Truth & Ticket got us #17 15 years ago in 2008.
And it was heartbreaking not to win the chip in 2009 & 2010.
Also agree with what Richard Washington just said during the Heat so far waxing the Bucks & what we have been saying.
Championship teams are cut throat & TCOB quickly VS **** teams - to get rest & avoid potential injury.
That is why our D last night was disgraceful, & why we BETTER **** TCOB tomorrow & Tuesday.
Biid gets a little more recovered every day we dick around.
We have too much talent to **** this up.
CELTICS!
lol. 15 years is nothing, dude. Get real.
In the past 15 years, only 8 teams have won a title. That's only 26% of the teams in the NBA.
You sound so spoiled haha. We've won SEVENTEEN titles. That's tied for the most in NBA history. 17! That's a lot haha. Magic, Nuggets, Clippers, Suns, Hornets, Grizzlies, Pelicans, Jazz, Kings. Those 9 franchises have combined to win 0 titles. I can't imagine how pissy you would be if you were a fan of one of those teams!
Wizards haven't won a title since 78. Sonics haven't won a title since 79. Sixers haven't won a title since 83. Hawks haven't won a title since 58. Knicks haven't won a title 73. Nets have 0 NBA titles and their last ABA title was 76. Pacers have 0 NBA titles and their last ABA title was in 73. Yet you're b&tching that we haven't won a title since 2008?
I'm rooting for the C's to win the title this season as much as the next guy, but if they don't, it's not the end of the world - it's just basketball.
Stop with the partial stats.. 1 in 36 years!! too many posters like yourself who are in your 20s and 30s that really don't get it.. real opportunities may take decades to come by.
Sick of your what about the "Pacers or Wizards" blah blah.. We are the Boston Celtics! Not some rinky-dink organization with shet history. Get your standards up.. If you want to go through life with low standards and "it's just basketball" well that's on you... Not me..
And I am getting sick and tired of you claiming "B&tching" about other posters yet you come on B*tching when they have a different opinion then yours.
what's worse than B*itching?? hypocritical B*itching!
Don't agree with a posters BB opinion or desire.. Fine.. debate the BB points or Ignore.. But when you start calling others for Bitching, check the **** Mirror first!
lol relax dude. Go smoke some weed or something.
1 title in 36 years? lol, what a weird, arbitrary cutoff point. Only reason why I mentioned titles over the past 15 years is because exculpatory brought it up - that's a weird, arbitrary cutoff point too.
All that really matters is how many titles all-time. We have SEVENTEEN, tied for the most all-time, out of 30 teams in the league. So what are you b*tching about?
There's no reason we should have higher standards than the pacers or wizards. all teams have the same salary cap constraints. All teams get the same number of home games, the same number of draft picks. The same number of players on their roster. We get to put 5 players on the court at a time, just like the pacers and wizards do. The league has made a ton of changes over the years to help competitive balance. There's more talent in the league than ever before, and less separation of talent among teams in the league than ever before - hence, why it's not shocking that we lost 3x this season to the Magic and lost by 30 to OKC without SGA. And no, we're not the only team that had losses like that - it happens to every team - for reasons I just stated.
It's great that we've won 17 titles in our history, but most of the guys who won those titles are dead now. There's no reason for us to have higher standards because of them.
I said "it's just basketball - not life or death" because it seems like there's people on here who are taking these games - taking the team way too seriously. That's not healthy. It seems like there's certain people on here who have some serious anger issues, or if they are getting this angry / upset about some guys trying to throw a ball into a hoop, it's not good for their mental health, they're gonna have high blood pressure, and that's not a good way to go through life, imo.
That's why it might seem like I am more positive/optimist with my posts and don't get too upset if we lose. It's not that I'm less of a fan. I'm just not trying to have a heart attack, or end up in a mental hospital or anger management counseling over a basketball game.
Some of the posts I read on here, I'm like picturing the person post it and being so angry that they punch a hole in their wall after hitting the submit button. It's concerning, to say the least. Especially considering how big of an issue mental health is in the world right now.
Look, basketball is fun for me. It's a hobby. Watching basketball - talking about it with people, analyzing it, playing it - it's fun for me. That's why I do it. End of story. BUT it seems like there's posters on here (based on the words and tone of their posts) who are freaking miserable - who aren't having any fun - who seem like they're ready to spiral into a deep depression or wind up in a mental hospital the next time the C's lose a game. If that's the case, maybe find a new hobby?
