It’s WAY more than 4. We know that there are good cetlics fans. But there is a reason Celtics fans are by far one of the 3 worst fan bases in all of sports. I’d rather have a conversation with Cowboys fans.


Where did all this Dallas energy come from? My takes are my own. I scroll by a bunch of Dallas takes I don't agree with but I don't single anyone out.

I can't speak for any other Celtic fan but for me I'm responding to anyone in my notifications only.

I don't think my Celtics in 5 take is so crazy that it puts me on a level of top 3 worst fan bases ever :lol:
My friend, your work to reach that Top 3 has been and is impeccable... don't be humble, one more week without games and you become a legend,... I will think of you during the games



I appreciate it. Good luck. Enjoy. Have fun. Don't take **** too seriously.

Celtics in 5 :lol:

You specifically have been all over this thread. Youre insufferable, a homer, and are not here to talk about actual basketball.

When people say cetlics are a bad fan base you can act all high and mighty but you contributing to that stereotype


No. I haven't.

I'm all over this thread talking about how the Celtics in 5 and the Mavs don't know what's coming their way.

It's insufferable because you disagree with it.

If you can't handle the bravado and the fun of it all, I'm sure there's some threads on the Dallas board you can enjoy.

This thread isn't here for your own personal enjoyment.


Are you telling me that the reason insufferable people are insufferable is because they don’t realize how annoying they are?

No I'm saying that if you read this thread from page one on you'll see that I'm reacting to outrageous takes with my own outrageous take.

It's not that serious my friend.

Warned for continued trolling. Take a break, this is getting relentless.

That's wild. Celtics have a title, bout to grab their second one, up somewhere around 8 ECF or so since the last time the cowboys won a Superbowl.

People in Texas are projecting I think.

This series needs to hurry up.


Yup this is exactly why you’re worse than Cowboys fans.

The Celtics making ECF doesn’t make you any less terrible to have a basketball discussion with. Worst fan base ever


Celtics in 5 is the highest Vegas odds currently.

It's not just my take. It's everybody's take.


You were cocky about OKC and Minnesota beating the Mavs too, how'd that fare for you?

You can write whatever you want, but it's difficult to have normal discussion, if Mavs fans can't make a case for their team to win. Listening to majority of Celtics fans this series is already over and they become upset, if we say that isn't the case.

The only thing you need to concern your self with is not if the Celtics win but by how much.

Bring the energy you brought today on that day. I'm a forgiven person.

The slander around here is uncontrollable.

Never happened.

I did say that Dallas had no chance at beating the Wolves.

I was wrong. We don't need to get into it.

What we can do is make sure you're here giving the flowers when Celtics handle business.

Dallas’s zone defense is why they won in 2011. They’re going to have to play another series of great zone defense to win this championship as well. Keeping Lively and Gafford in the paint with smart switches on the perimeter to no give up wide open 3s is how Dallas can win it all.

The slander? Lol, you're doing basically 90% of it alone. That's why people are coming back at you. Mavs being in the finals is already a huge success for them. It's basically Celtics championship to lose at this point. But if people are making normal post that Mavs could have a chance and you come back at them with your **** arrogant attitude, you better hope your team wins it all or you'll have a ton of responses on your posts.

The Mavs winning this series would literally be unprecedented. That's how big the difference is in the numbers.

Sorry I buy into the evidence.

I haven't slandered a single person.

I never said anything about Dallas beating or losing against the thunder.

That foul at the end of game 6 is probably what this user is talking about. It wasn't a foul. Shoulda went 7. Probably lose in OKC.

I did however say they couldn't get the Wolves. They did. I give them credit.

It is the Celtics championship to lose and I'm not sure why that's a take so dishonorable that it's worth all this petty replies. They are the better team. They have dominated all year. They have destroyed the Mavs. No team has ever won from the 5th seed.

Again, go back to page 1. My interactions with anyone is in response to a notification in my inbox toward something they disagree with me on.

It's a lie to say I've singled out anyone unsolicited.

I said like 20 pages ago these are my opinions.

All I want are some stats brother. Show me hard stats that show where the Mavs have advantages in the series

Can we stop pretending like the Mavs are the Jordan Bulls or the KD Warriors ?

As long as we can stop pretending the Celtics are the Bulls or Golden State.


Funny enough those the are the two teams closest to this years Celtics in net rating :lol:

Zone defense is not the solution against great ball movement and outside shooting though. One can see why it worked against the Heat back then, but Celtics have nothing in common with that team.

Idk if you can watch that Indiana series and say Boston has great ball movement. They were very stagnant for a lot of those games.

Yet another moronic nothing comment for a Celtics fan.
