I think one dude tried to talk s*** on us for injuries and got talked down upon quickly, which is good. Never a good thing to do, to anybody.
But I stumbled upon one of their posters saying like they should expose the media for saying Boston would be better earlier in the season when they "knew" that would be false. Like, I'm sorry, you forgetting Gordon Hayward snapping his ankle in 5 different places? Like, you think, maybe losing our clear-cut second-best player would affect how this season went? A guy who was an All-Star in the loaded Western Conference last year? I couldn't stop laughing man.
I think they’re mostly referring to the time period when we had a brutal schedule and you guys were on a 16-game winning streak and most people had you pegged as the team to beat LeBron.
Still, how could you guys have "known" anything? We beat you guys in that stretch, without Kyrie and Hayward. No one saw the Raptor surge coming after that game.
I'm sure he's not speaking on behalf of your own board, but still.
Yeah, most of us were in a very pessimistic mood after that game, I’ll give you that. Many people were calling for Casey’s head, not because we lost, but because we played a terrible brand of basketball that game, reminiscent of our play-off struggles.
