Hopefully with this game we see as large a flood of optimistic threads as we did pessimistic threads after the Memphis game

Aw who am I kidding

I merged this "feel good" thread with the other one.  The first one never took off, but this thread can serve as a "pep rally" type of thread.

So we can't have more than one "optimism" thread? There are certainly more than one "gloom and doom" threads, (and I thought this other was confined to the Celts/Atlanta game) ... ah, well ... I tried. As my Grandfather used to tell me: "Sunlight can peep through a wee hole", (though I always wondered about the "wee hole" part). ;)

I am an optimist. But to be equal and democratic, a Haterzzz thread must be stickied too, otherwise CelticsBlog is saying the pessimistic fans are not worth the same as optimists  ;)

Well, that's entirely up to the pessimists. The reason I started this thread is that the majority of the threads that I see, (trade threads, what's wrong with this guy or that guy, this team is terrible, Doc has got to go, next year will be ugly, etc.), are already pessimistic. I could go through the boards and list them all, but I don't think that's necessary ... just skim them yourself and you'll get the idea.

If the pessimists aren't satisfied with the flood of negative threads that already exist, and they want another thread specifically dedicated to complaining about the team, voicing their unhappiness and just plain being as grumpy as is humanly possible for the sake of venting, (which, I'll admit, we all need to do on some level from time-to-time), then they are certainly entitled to do so.

But I also don't think it's our responsibility to do it for them. If the existance of such a "purely pessimistic" thread would make you feel better about this one and the whole "balance" of equality here, please feel free too start one for them ... the only problem with that would be that they might thank you or even give you a TP or two, and that in itself would be forcing them to travel out of the realm of the negative, and we don't want to be responsible for such injustices. ;)

I am an optimist don't worry, I am not going to start the thread  :) I think it's true that negative voices always sound louder than positive ones.

Response to some threads:

Rondo is Average: Rajon Rondo went for 16 points and 11 assists in only 28 minutes last night. It was the 32nd time he has had a double double this year and that currently ranks 8th in the league. We all know how average players constantly put up double doubles all the time ::)

Ray Allen's three point shooting: Ray was 2 for 2 last night

Okay if you're the coach what do you do: Apparently tell the players there's going to be more practice, have a team meeting to air out the differences and motivate the team, and then change nothing in the rotations. The result, a massive ass whooping to Indiana.

Start Sheed Debate: Perkins had his best game in a long time, Doc agreed and he only had one block but clearly effected others as they were taking them. He was very beastly last night and play to his offensive strengths and didn't force anything.

Doc's ball movement philosophy needs to be put out to pasture: Or not. The C's actually decided to execute the offense last night and put up 122 points

optimism only
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.
