Celtics suck??? What happened to Celtic Pride?

[cmon man pass tha ball!]

I am tired of hearing hearing how we cant beat the Cavs, or that the Celtics suck, or how Ray Allen sucks, or how Paul Pierce sucks.

I dont know when the people who make these statements began watching the Celtics, but they clearly have some sort of skewed perception of sports, and the focus, grit, determination, belief in yourself, and team, and persistence through adversity that it takes to win.

Its the playoffs. There are going to be ups and downs. How can you say Ray Allen all of a sudden sucks? The guy just had an incredible 7 game series against the Bulls were he was basically superhuman. If you havent watched the Celtics much of the past 2 seasons you'd know that Ray Allen goes through slumps, but because he doesnt get down on himself, keeps working, and keeps shooting, he always bounces back, and is always successful in the end. The same goes for this Celtics team.

Wait till we upset the Cavs. Then all of those people will be right back on the wagon acting like they never got off.

this is exactly what I said in another post...

Celtic Pride and Tradition - We are going to win

don nelson's shot that went straight up and down against the Fakers in the 60's...Hondo steals the ball...Jack Kent Cooke hanging the baloons in the Forum in 1969 in Russel's and Sam Jones last year...Triple OT against the Suns...coming back against Philly in 1981 down 3-1...Henderson steals the ball in 1984...Larry steals the ball...the shootout between Larry and Dominique...comeback against the Nets in 2002...comeback against the Fakers last year...all the OT's and comebacks in 2009...

Celtics Pride and Tradition...this is what it is all about...

this is what we love about the Celtics...they never give up...

we will win...count on it...

Wow. This was a refreshing response. I was beginning to doubt about people remembering what this organization has been built on, and what got us the 17 championships, and it sure as hell wasnt done by getting down on eachother when shots arent falling, and it sure as hell wasnt done without going through adversity because it wouldnt mean as much if there was no adversity anyway. But Doc has adheered to the philosophy that Red Auerbach instilled in this team, and they have perservered like true champions should even when they are undermanned, beat up, they are still playing their hearts out and grinding everything out, and giving their all. If thats not something to be proud of I dont know what is, and if someone can call a team like that pathetic, or say they suck... then i'm sorry but your philosophy for success is a little bit skewed. Its gotta start with the positive thinking and the support from the proud fans of Boston, along with the proud players and proud tradition of this organization will stand proud in support of a very strong team, and will not let this team lose.

SUNDAY. This is what we love. Game 7's in Boston. I read an article the other day implying that the Celtics favorable record in game 7's at home is a little sketchy. Implying there has been cheating involved. But we all know the real reason for that record. If you've been to a game 7 at the Garden, you dont have a voice after, and that place is going nto be crazy. Celtics will win.

And on Wednesday they will dig in and give the Cavs a battle they havent had in awhile. Remember when people thought we would sweep the Hawks. Well they took them to 7. there is NO WAY the cavs will sweep this team, and that is all I've been hearing.

We are the champs. Not them, and we as fans cannot let the Celtics forget that we are the champs, and no one should come onto our home court and beat us. I get offended if its even a close game.

If you are going to the game on Sunday from start to finish, we need to be crazy. This is it. once again.

next to last years championship this is the most fun i've had in years bein a celtic fan. ive always loved this team but making it this far is exciting.

i would be very hurt to lose the next game but i would never say this team sucks. if you've been a long time fan you can appreciate (spell check) what this team is doin and will do.

we as fans gotta step up jus like many players on our team has and be positive

im not even worried bout cleveland...im worried bout houston. i see us goin that far yall.

i'm sure we all have games that we remember but there is one that stands out in my mind that represents what Celtic Pride and Tradition is all about...I've mentioned this before but nobody has picked up on it before...last game of the 1988 ECF against Detroit...the Celtics are banged up beyond repair...it really was the last hurrah of Bird, McHale, Parish, DJ and Ainge...if you remember...both McHale and Parish had problems with their ankles...everytime they went down you that they weren't getting up...both DJ and Ainge had their thighs wrapped...and Larry was already having back problems...they are losing to Detroit in Detroit in elimination game of 1988 ECF...Celtics are down by 10 with just under a minute left...the game is pretty much over...even when thought it was never over with Larry...the Pistons are on a 3 on 1 or 3 on 2 fastbreak and they are at the top of the circle...then you see Larry sprinting back at halfcourt...he is totally out of the play...i never saw him run that hard in all the games I watched...he never got in the play and the Celtics lost...then I knew why he stole the ball and why he was such a great player...he never gave up...and that is what Celtic Pride and Tradition has always been...going back to Russell, Cousy, Sharman, Tommy, Satch, the Jones boys, Hondo, Nelson, Jo Jo, Cowens, Larry, McHale, Parish, DJ, Ainge, Paul and the rest...
