I'm new here so I probably should shut up... but this forum has an attitude problem.
Rondo sucks, Davis sucks, Kristic sucks... Bla bla bla
And guys really sucking like Allen and Green are hardly mentioned.
I don't get it
Here's the thing, Juneauz. A lot of people on this forum have been following this incarnation of the Celtics (and many other incarnations) for the last few years, especially closely the last 4-6 months. They have done so with the deep seated belief that this team can win a championship. Anything less than that will be a disappointment. This is, for all intents and purposes, our last real shot at a title with this group. After this year, it's lockout and then rebuilding time.
So many people are getting really worked up and riled up and disgusted and embarrassed and ashamed because what they're seeing before their eyes is this team breaking down and falling short before they even get to the playoffs. They're seeing happen again what they saw happen in the last half of last season leading up to the playoffs, which resulted in a loss in the Finals. The team just ran out of gas last year. Didn't have the legs, or the depth, or home court. The window is closing, and #18 is slipping away.
In other words, this all may seem like a gross overreaction to one game, but the last month has been pretty brutal. And it all appears to be a very ominous, disturbing sign of things to come.
I see what you're saying, PosImpos.
but I've been laughing and crying with the celtics just like you guys, in the last ten years. I don't miss a game, and I didn't miss one even when we were losing 20 in a row back in the days.
I'm frustrated just like you are, and I totally HATED the trade.
But what I don't get, is blaming always the same guys even when they play great, or never mention the "untachables" even when they play badly.
in the end, Danny Ainge is the one we should be really blaming for all of this.
But some guys here watch celtics games just to diss Rondo and BBD and will always do even if it makes no sense, just like today.
