The time has come, to GIVE up :(

As much as it hurts to say this bros I think the time has come for the Celtics to peacefully, injury free en this season and give it to the Magic. I know Boston will fight to the very end and will never raise a white flag but we will not achieve anything beating Orlando. Cleveland will sweep us if we face them. Its pointless going forward. We have bunch of guys who are tired, beat up, injured. We have guys who are injured and without KG an Powe we can't win ECF, forget the finals. Coaching staff and the players should rest while Danny cooks something up and tweaks our bench a little bit. In my heart, we are the champions. I don't care about banner 18, or the ring or whatever. Theres not a team in this
**** corrupted league that has as many ups and downs like Celtics did and we still managed to come this far. My hat is off to our team
and Doc Rivers. Just know all of you haters, motherfookers...theres always a next season...our boys will be ready like hungry viscious pitbulls off the chaim causing kaos and massacre in every sinle arena.

I love all of you Celtics fans and I love all of the Boston Celtics.

Well thankfully the players/coaches don't share the same mentality as you

This reminds me of a comment made to me, saying that the Celtics should just pack it in seeing that they can't win; no need to risk another injury.

I just don't get it ... it's the dumbest thing to do.

Why don't all of the East teams except the Cavs pull out because they're all going to lose eventually.

The Celtics are defending champions and although it's unlikely they'll win it all this year, by no means do you give up when you're down 2-1. We win game 4, it's 2-2 with 2/3 being home games for us.

The C's should keep playing period.

possibly the dumbest most ignorant post you've ever made diesel.

Champs don't just lie down and die, end of story.

Lock this please

Why give up though, no real harm in giving it your best.

no reason to give up----Anything's Possible!!

The C's win next game means they get HCA back and tie the series. Magic are the fav to advance as of now but there is a lot of basketball to be played

Just a pathetic post.

LMAO at the best team in the history of the NBA and the defending champs just mailing it in.

DieselCeltic · Post #9 » by **DieselCeltic** » Sun May 10, 2009 3:35 am

Ok. We we'll see what happens tomorrow. Whoever thinks we can beat Cleveland is just crazy in my mind

GreenGrizz · Post #10 » by **GreenGrizz** » Sun May 10, 2009 3:37 am

At least, it is a good experience for our young players. We will have KG back and a few good offseason moves. We wiill be back next year.

I honestly can not believe some of the garbage that goes up on this board by supposed Celtic Fans. You're mentality is to give up when it gets difficult? Because we are "tired, beat up, injured"? Come on, if you are really a Celtics fan and "love the Boston Celtics" then you should believe that despite the injuries and how unlikely it may be, we will always have a chance at beating any team. And that includes the Cavs and Lakers.

Get confident, stupid.

Where's the guarantee that we'll be at full health next year? The same exact strings of injuries could happen next year and possibly worse. Athletes lose that recovery aspect in their body as they age and it's only going to present more potential problems. We only have so many years with the big three, or two in this run, left, so we might as well make the most we can out of every chance.

EDIT: Seriously, after this year, we only have one or two years where all of the big three are major contributors to our potential success when at full health and where we have the possibility of winning the championship. I don't want to flounder one of these years and bank on unpredictability the next. That's not why we made the KG trade. When you have Big Al, Rondo, maybe Jeff Green in the mix and Pierce or whatever you can get for him, over a decade, you can afford to waste a year or two, but not now. I don't want to see a team with this mentality and experience fold over.

I love all of you Celtics fans and I love all of the Boston Celtics.

I gotta ask.... where do you get this roll-over-and-die mentality from? Are you used to people taking a crap all over you or what??? As a former collegiate and professional athlete, I used to feast on guys like you. You were the easiest prey and I could see in your posture and (believe it or not) in your eyes that you were not up to the challenge and would let me absolutely dominate you, which I did willingly.

Even as a fan, I still don't understand it. I mean, from a personal standpoint, you have absolutely ZERO at stake here. The series is 2-1. 2. 1. So they're tired? Beat up? tough $h**, retire then. Panic doesn't start until the final quarter of an elimination game, down 8. Who gives a f*** if they can beat Cleveland or not, that is about 1000 miles outside the point. All 82 games during the regular season were completely irrelevant compared to this. This is the playoffs, this is what the whole thing is all about. Best basketball of the year, win or lose. You need to check the stats, we don't have 58 rings, we have 17. Even with the way things have gone down so far, if you aren't loving the M-Fing s**t out of this, then you just flat out don't get it. Look at the title of this thread. :nonono:

Slap yourself and pull it together, fella, you're better than that.

Lebron is ready to kill and embarrass us. Our pride probaly won't be same after that. All we need is to regroup and reload. It can't be happening this year with Cleveland and LA Lakers waiting for us in cold blood. We can't do it without KG, Powe and even Posey/Brown. It is ridiculous. Everyone will want to leave Boston.

PPAW4Life · Post #15 » by **PPAW4Life** » Sun May 10, 2009 5:44 am

There is no giving up!

The games still have to be played. Anything can happen...PP and RA might get on a roll and carry the C's offensively. If we get by the Magic...all it takes is a couple fouls in the 1st half to keep LeBron from hurting us.

Yes we're hurt. Yes, we're playing awful on defense. Yes, it looks bleak and giving up might put a quick end to a frustrating post season but we're the Champs.....

....we don't just give up!

So giving in to the Magic and getting blown out the next two games would be less embarrassing? At least we knew we lost to the NBA MVP, got to the ECF, and probably got screwed by the Lebron rules with the refs if we get through this round.

The best outcome to a season is winning a championship.

The second-best outcome is getting knocked out by the eventual champion.

"You can't give up hope just because it's hopeless. You have to hope even harder, cover your ears, and go 'blah blah blah blah blah!'"

But things aren't even hopeless yet. The Celtics could win this game today and be going back to Boston tied at 2.

Idiots were saying the same thing in the Chicago series. As a matter of fact, one of those thankfully lost a bet.
