Agreed!

Next season I expect less negativity toward JB and Joe and hopefully we will finally get the epic matchup with Denver we have all been salivating over for 2 years.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

There was a play yesterday in the first half where Luka was on the perimeter and Tatum tried to deny an entry pass to I believe Gafford instead of getting between him and the basket, but Luka successfully threaded the pass to Gafford so he had an open path to the basket. Horford seemingly had anticipated it and ran over to play some great help defense and prevent the easy basket. Does anyone remember roughly when that play happened? It impressed me watching it live, and I want to see a replay to see how it developed and what Horford saw there.

One final tip of the cap to Sam Hauser who had a GREAT final game this season. As much on defense and hustling for loose balls as anything he did shooting. He's one of our rotation guys for the 2025 title chase.

Not to sound like a Debbie downer but one thing that I’m going to find interesting next season is the post game loss threads.
It felt like the sky was falling every time we’d have a loss the last couple of years. Will be nice for a change to not get too worked up even if we lose a couple in a row lol

I feel this team should be able to win multiple titles. They’re much younger than the big 3 when they won their first. Gotta maintain that hunger though.

I think that's over. I think the monkey is off everyone's back - players and fans alike.

I know I personally feel like I'm going to worry less about Joe or Jaylen or any of the other things that have sabotaged this team in the past. It's gonna be nice.

I just hope the players don’t get into this mode though and they stay hungry for more. Hope they don’t settle. I still think we are the best team in the east next year. Idk where Milwaukee is at. Philly is always a threat but they’re always unhealthy.

Cherish this moment guys. I think we will win more soon... But I also thought that after 08. Cherish cherish cherish. This team could easily go down as 08. The team that could have won 3 straight but only won 1.

Hey, so I wonder if there are any posters left who believe that "Mount Washington" is a better defensive player than Jrue.
