Time to jump on the OKC bandwagon. Think of them as the refuge for Celtics fans for the next 4-5 years while the Celtics fade into irrelevance, mediocrity, and then flat out suckitude.
Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Ibaka, Perkins. Should be a really good group for a while. I actually like how they match up with the Lakers, even now.
Now, if the Lakers manage to land Dwight Howard, the NBA will basically end. Possibly the world. But for now, I think it's fair to regard the Thunder as our only hope.
The train is now boarding for Oklahoma City, Celtics fans. Either get on or stay here and wallow.P
Pos, you are starting to sound like a troll....
In times like these, I don't view posts like this as troll-dom.
Seriously, does the prospect of watching this Celtics team inspire you? Give you hope? Make you excited? The thought of watching this team fade back into the muck they were in prior to the summer of '07 is utterly unappealing to me.
The Thunder are the only team I like that I can see going deep into the playoffs and contending for a title anytime soon.
Well, for me man: if I could survive Larry, Parish and McHale getting older, Bias and Lewis passing, DJ, Red passing, Pierce (almost) passing - then I can survive this.
C'mon man it's not the end of the world.
You are supposed to be a fan through thick and thin.
i didn't say that i wouldn't still be a fan of the celtics. im still going to follow them, and im still going to cheer for their success, however limited it may be.
i love the celtics and i always will. that doesn't mean i have to like it when they suck and their biggest enemies are ruling the league, nor does it mean that i have to be endlessly optimistic and cheerful no matter what.
im not advocating that we all abandon the celtics, renounce our fandom, and move to oklahoma city. im just saying that the celtics are headed nowhere, and our only hope for enjoying the success of a team we like is to watch the Thunder.
