haters of the celtics should be ashamed of themselves.

1) they're an organization that love basketball and want their team to win. this is unlike half the owners in the league.

2) their fans love basketball, in losing seasons, and in winning seasons

3) their 3 stars have never in their careers demanded a trade. they suit up and give 100% when they're on the court (kobe, tmac, vince, etc.).

4) we havent had any bench clearing brawls with this group of guys. the same can't be said for a lot of the thugs in this league.

5) even for an unbiased observer, the celtics style of play is very fun to watch.


there is no reason a REAL basketball fan should hate the celtics. I respected the showtime lakers, i didn't hate them. The only team i hated is the bad boy pistons because they played and won in a dirty and ugly manner.

Laker fans should hate us, and I totally disagree with statement #2, I knew a ton of people who made fun of people for being a Celtics fan last year now they act like theyve watched every game, not to mention the Garden is packed with bandwagon jumpers who think Scal is god

Generally an ugly girl will not have any haters because umm...she is ugly. When a girl is a dime most girls that walk by give her dirty looks. So all those girls that give dimes dirty looks are deemed 'haters'

Hating on someone or something is a sign that things are good. The celtics are that blazin chick that everyone is hating on right now because they want to be us.......so when people hate on the C's be happy because now its a sign that we look that good.

Yeah, 16 banners sucks. I hate going to the Garden and looking up at the rafters and see our name as NBA champs 16 times. I hate that. Wouldn't you agree?

Oh wait how can you agree, you haven't won 16 titles.

Who cares about being hated on? I think if 10 people hate on you, you need to figure out how to make that number to 15 ASAP. (Kat Williams)

I don't see why people are hating on the Celtics. If anything they have GREATLY improved the image of the sport.

The only concern I had prior to the season was the lack of bench depth. I am a Suns fan so I witness a lack of bench every season with having 3 core players. But you have since silenced that concern easily. House and Posey have played their roles and an even bigger surprise Glen Davis has done extremely well.

I wish to see you guys have a great rest of the season. And I hope to meet you guys in the Finals.

If you notice, the fans of goods teams usually wish the Celts the best, and like them.

It's the bad teams and their fans (NetsForce) that give the Celts hate.

The best part about the hate is when the Celts just keep on winning- those other fans just look so dumb
Damn

I agree with that. But it's great to see the Celtics back on top. With there long and outstanding history in the league, it's nice to have them as the focus of the league.

The haters will always hate. Trust me I know this. The Celtics just keep what they are doing. There is no proving. They are past that stage. But the haters keep hating.

it's about time we are hated. We haven't been hated in 20 years and it's about time.

I don't hate the Celtics, who would anybody hate Ray Allen or Kevin Garnett. Celtic fans are what other teams hate, they are some of the biggest trolls on the boards here, visiting other teams boards and talking smack, even the last few years when the team sucked.
