Have low standards, that's fine, but don't call others out because they have higher standards than you; how you lose matters. Regular-season wins mean more to you than competing for a championship. If you're not competing for championships, you should be resetting, period.



It was a troll response from them. It's fine to call me out for takes you don't like, to **** on my basketball IQ and to even ask me what value do I add here. I've taken abuse from some of the worst dinks around here for years. Even come to a appreciation for most of them.

But to say I was bitching about the Celtics not sweeping the Mavs and essentially implying that even when winning a title it wasn't good enough for me is horse ****. It's a outrageous lie and pretty pathetic from someone who hardly shows their face around here.

These trolls come and go but I'm consistent as always. When they have the best roster in the league I call it like it is and when they aren't looking too hot it's the same story.

That was truly a embarrassment of a response from someone who came out of the woodworks to take a **** they were feeling some kind of way.


It matters how you lose. Does anyone see INDs, or DENs season as a failure this past year? On the flipside, CLEs or MINs?

It's not about always winning the championship, of course, that's important, but when you continue to lose the way the C's have lost, it's unacceptable to me. The common denominators are Brad, JT, and JB. Pretty sure that's why Brad left coaching. To me, JB is the odd man out and the first real domino to a reset.

My response wasn't to you, but to the person you bubble quoted.

The Celtics have underachieved the entirety of the Jays term here. Minus 1 season where they had so much help it would of been unprecedented for them to blow it.

And if you can believe it or not a lot of people around here would tell you that they actually overachieved for many years.

Man, I know people hate to see me talking because I am almost the total opposite of you on feelings on our future. I think everything can turn out roses to benefit us. Especially a few years ago before the world p’d me off! I’m more amenable to humbug mentality.

I say that because what you’re saying is grinding my gears, that means what I’m saying is grinding other’s gears, including yours. I don’t want to get on folk’s nerves (most of the time), but I’m going to keep doing it, I hope you keep doing your part! :lol:



You're way too optimistic but I've not really called you out on it and if what I'm saying is grinding your gears than your problem is with the Celtics, not me.

I think my take is objectively factual and not from a position of perspective.

They're **** next year and you just don't know it yet. You'll get there.

Keep this same energy if they aren’t.

Hey, step back into reality, when did someone say we are winning the chip next season? Not winning the chip doesn’t equate to being trash! If the Celtics are a good team next season, but they don’t win the chip, you were still wrong plain and simple.

Memphis has room and could use a shooter. I'd take Konchar and 16 for Sam. :D

Combine 16 and 28 and move into the lottery sounds good :D

Those first round picks salaries might cost us Kornet/horford. Gotta find a way ti shed salaries while accumulating athletes.

If he’s still connected I wonder if Brad is holding onto Hauser hoping Kasparas slides and then Brad can package Hauser and picks to a team like the Bulls for the 12th pick.


The Celtics ain't doing **** tonight. Probably draft a guy who will never amount to anything and call it a day.

Probably. Ut ther goal is to win I may and early June. It be talked about in July
