I can't believe the negativity. This is one of the better teams in the NBA. And it is set up to compete long term. We are competing and rebuilding at the same time. It's beautiful.
Me neither. Celtics fans like to think they're some of the most intelligent, but lately I've had my doubts. On a 13-3 run, a solid 3rd in the conference after a ton of injuries the first 25 games of the season, and people seem ready for the sky to fall. At the beginning of the year when the Lakers were playing well there were threads about how the Lakers were better off than we were. Now that the Lakers are 5-20 since December started, so it's back to being jealous of Philly. Again, we've won 13 out of 16, and they've won 13 on the season. When Philly finishes the month with 14 wins on the season, who will we be jealous of next? The Suns?
Be jealous of Cleveland, Golden State, and San Antonio. Beyond that, no one has it better. No one.
Who said the sky was falling? Not me. It was a solid win against a team they should have beat. I only pointed out that the defense could have been even better, especially in the 1st half where they gave up >50 points. How many times did Kemba burn IT on the high PNR? It was a lot, and I was surprised Brad kept him in there in the 1st quarter. Williams was hitting 3-pointers at will.
I am not going apologize for wanting this team to compete with GS, CLE, SA. Others may have lower standards. Have a good day folks.
