An Apology

[ctrey]

I would like to appologize for my posts regarding Jeff Green this morning. In particular any reference to Reggie Lewis. It was an infuriating thing to wake up to this news.
I have been a long time fan and supporter of Jeff Green here on this site and in general. I was looking forward to seeing him blossom this year and with that help us compeat for a title.

My frustration at knowing this will not happen and the damage it will do to the Celtics got the best of me and I acted, and posted inapropriately.

I am sorry for any hurt feelings I caused.

Let us hope for Mr. Greens' speedy recovery and for a fine showing by the Celtics this year.

Sincerly,

ctrey.

I'm sure the apology is appreciated by many; it certainly is by the staff.

This is a frustrating time for many.  Obviously, it's going to be hard to keep emotions in check for some folks.  It's important that everyone try to be respectful, though.  It's hard, balancing between the frustration of losing an important player, and the compassion of wishing Green the best. 

I think your apology is well said.  While there have already been some low points this off-season, let's all hope for an entertaining and successful season as we root on the team we love.

Whatever, man, even if Jeff was healthy, he wouldn't of gotten off the bench. Quis would. Doesn't matter that Jeff is talented, there's no way he is playing better than Quis right now, the guy exploded. Our bench is good. Better than most (all of us except Doc?) thought it would be.

apology well appreciated, TP for a great gesture.

Thanks, ctrey. It takes a man (or woman, not sure of your gender), to admit a mistake.

When I saw this news about JG, it was surprising, but after what most Celtics fans have seen over the years (Larry, Chief and McHale getting older...Bias, Lewis passing...DJ, Red passing...Pierce getting stabbed)...I think we can survive this one.

Jeff Green is still here. He'll get through his surgery and be ready for next season.

My attempt to place things in perspective here was solidified after I read this piece about our bitter rivals (LA):

Any Celtics Fans think WE got it bad? LA may be in for a long season - potentially one that they haven't experienced in a LONG time.

I can survive Jeff Green being unavailable. But LA? They have a LOT of things to deal with, too.

TP, for man-ning up.   

Though I am sure that Reggie was in our thoughts with this being heart related, I think it is a perfectly normal human reaction to draw comparisons to situations we reference within our experiences.

Yeh, 'TP' indeed.

There's not a single soul on the planet that should be happy with what happened to Jeff Green, and I guess you recognize that now.

Cheers, ctrey, well said.
