Yes, let's compare these guys to one of the most competitive mofos ever to play the game.
I promise to expect less once that 18th banner is raised.
Just having a laugh.
I remember the melts the 2009-2010 Celtics caused amongst Celtics fans with how garbage they were heading into the playoffs that season.
And that was with the wildly competitive KG out there every night.
That 2009-10 regular season really sucked.

Next thing you know, you're down 0-3 and fighting for your playoff lives.

No sweat, guys.
If Cs exit the playoffs again then they just have to try again next season.

It's not like you guys will stop becoming Celtic fans if the Cs don't win Banner 18 this year.

Kobe running over washed up Rasheed Wallace like he was a homeless man sure did. But as others have mentioned once KG hurt his knee the year before it was over. Would have had at least one more without that.

If the standings stay as is, Cs will only see one of the 4 teams among NY, Philly, Indy, and Milwaukee.
So Cs will be against Cleveland or Orlando in the 2nd rnd.
Right now Cs have the easiest path to the east finals.
Hopefully it stays that way when the regular season ends.

This is true evidence that we need to trade everyone before the playoffs and build around Davison.

More to life than sports. It is what it is. Better luck next year. We need a stud.

Why bother rebuilding? Trade everyone, sell the team, sell the arena. Sell Lucky to a children's hospital and donate the uniforms to Goodwill. Sell the team plane for parts. Boil the Lobsters. Keep Derrick White though, make him mayor or something.

If this was the effort level they were going to play with, why even suit up?
Even if the goal was to get sharp/knock off rust, a good coach could get them to play for a half and then have them sit.
Fans act like this group is proven. The only thing proven about the Tatum/Brown core is that they can't get over the hump and they're front runners.
Keep whistling past the graveyard I guess....

Celt8cs played to not get hurt and get some reps and cardio in.
Idc about the loss.
They played hard all season amd have earned the right to preserve themselves, if this was 5 years ago no started would have played this game.

Joe was playing to not show Thibs anything for the playoffs. Nothing we did will show itself again in a playoff series with them. It's all a chess match with Joe.

true that, but it's a losers mentality. Its banner 18 or bust IMO. This team has loaded up for the title , now it's time to bring it! JT claims he's one of the best players in the NBA every other interview. Lets see that "Mamba Mentality", because it's Time to show out !

Totally agree with you about it's time to bring it.
But we all know nothing is guaranteed in the sports world.
What I'm saying is even if the Cs don't win it all this year, it's not the end.
This season is just the beginning of great things to come.
