Time to lose again, please. Lose. Like Fantasia said, sometimes you have to lose to win again. Classic case of the current Celtics. Let's lose big.
You're disgusting.
I'm tired of defending this so I'll just keep it moving and I'll keep rooting for them to lose because I love this team and don't want another 20 something years drought of gold. Yea, I'm disgusting. Guilty as charged. Happy?
The problem is that you're too short-sighted, and honestly coming here to root for a team to lose, regardless of intentions, is pretty much trolling.
So if you guys want this team to lose, and want to root for the team to lose, you can honestly go do it elsewhere, this isn't the thread for it or the blog for it.
lol Relax, man. Stop being so sensitive. If you see it as trolling, so be it. I know I'm not, but whatever. Fair enough. Carry on
It's not about being sensitive, I'm just saying that coming into a Celtics Forum Game Thread, just to root for a team to lose is most definitely trolling, and it's certainly not welcomed.
If you want to keep at it fine, but don't act all indignant when people call you out.
I don't mind it. I represent a percentage of this fanbase that is rooting for a tank job. We see it as the best move for our long-term success. I think a recent poll showed that 60% of this fanbase would rather we finish with a Top 4 pick than make the playoffs with the 8th seed. Or maybe that's just what they thought was more likely... I forget.
Of course you don't mind it, you're pretty much doing the same thing. Who's ever going to mind a troll for doing the same thing one is doing.
I guess the problem is that you guys don't see it as trolling because you have good intentions, but it is what it is, coming into a team's fanbase game thread to make comments that you and all the ones that want to root for this team to lose are aware that it goes against the CelticsBlogs trolling rules:
"Commenting in a thread or elsewhere on the site in a manner that is likely to provoke an angry response from others is not permitted."
I mean, what do you guys expect on this regard? And then act all indignant when people call you out, please.
The one place that should be off-limits for this sort of discussion is the game thread, at the very least I say.
I don't see any conceivable way in which a person can't fathom that coming here to root for the Celtics to lose, just because one considers himself a Celtic fan, is not trolling.
