Little things I hate about the Celtics

[CelticPride18]

I hate how it takes 3 months for us to sign a guy like Marquis Daniels.

-tony allen

-in-game "entertainment" (dancers, green team, tshirt slinging, mascot, etc)

[nickagneta]

The fact that they allow Cedric Maxwell to "quack" on the radio.

The cheerleaders

[fairweatherfan]

That we aren't defending champs anymore and we should be.

Every time I put on a game on League Pass and don't hear Tommy's voice I get a little down.

Oh, and when I DO hear Tommy, I noticed once that he breathes heavily near the mic when he's not talking.  Now I can never unhear it!

[Who]

(1) KG not using his post game more often despite having a super-effective game down on the block. This drives me nuts! has for about 10 years!

(2) The Celtics not running more often.

(3) The whining to referees

"The different sneakers they wear. Sorry, I was always a huge fan of the all black sneakers all the time look of yesteryear. Now someone has green shoes, the other guys white. KG's has green and white stripes. I know corporate shoe money is huge but, are you telling me the C's don't have the power to say "Where any style shoe you want, the just have to be all black." I mean it costs Nike and Reebok like 4 cents to make these things overseas. It can't be that much of a financial burden to them."

I agree with this. I loved when they wore the black sneakers at home. It was one of those things they shouldn't have changed. Imagine Larry Bird with white sneakers in the Garden...

Red didn't want em and neither do I.   They're fine as cheerleaders go, but I still don't want em

To be fair, in that picture of Doc you posted we were getting absolutely mugged that game. Don't remember which game, against who but I remember the expression very well.

The purple and gold uniforms

Kobe

Phil Jackson

 

What's to hate about our Celtics?

Taking the foot off the gas pedal sometimes?

[Who]

Games take too long these days ... timeouts and ad breaks and other types of stoppages and all of that ... I think in-game entertainment has become necessary.

A sad situation -- I still don't enjoy the in-game entertainment myself, but I think the crowd as a whole would really suffer if it were to leave.

Me neither.  And I love Max, but his quacking drives me crazy.

That from Laker game to Laker game last year, we couldn't buy a call in the paint.

[P2]

KG's head slam into the basket post before games. I really worried that this team won't win another title because KG is going to miss the playoffs due to severe migraines, concussions, stiff necks or disc problems. Or that in a Game 7 away from the Garden, that some smart general manager is going to tell some of the crew to "accidentally" forget to put the padding on underneath the wrapping around the post. I can see KG going up, not realizing the padding is not there and knocking himself unconscious and missing the game.

All the "what me" faces that most of the Celtics have. I wonder if they practice these faces in the mirror before games?

The different sneakers they wear. Sorry, I was always a huge fan of the all black sneakers all the time look of yesteryear. Now someone has green shoes, the other guys white. KG's has green and white stripes. I know corporate shoe money is huge but, are you telling me the C's don't have the power to say "Where any style shoe you want, the just have to be all black." I mean it costs Nike and Reebok like 4 cents to make these things overseas. It can't be that much of a financial burden to them.

Rasheed's bald spot. Sorry, now that he's a Celtic this really annoys me. Why is it off center and a little high on the back of his head? I hope it's not the reason why his shooting percentage has dipped so much as he has gotten older. Could it be that the extra hair on one side of his head is throwing his balance off so he's missing more shots? Didn't make a difference before but I don't want him missing shots because he refuses to shave his head like most other athlete's with male pattern baldness.

Scal's whiteness. Every time he gets off the bench I have to adjust the contrast on the television. Scal, go tanning or spray some of that fake color stuff on you. I mean, you're so white you shine. You should substitute as a beacon on the coast so lighthouses can have a vacation your whiteness is so bright.

The love handles on some of the past Celtic Dancers. you know what. I hate the dancers. Can't stand the idea. I know Red is waiting for the management group who made the decision to create this idea to get to heaven so he can kick the everliving crap out of them. That said, if you are going to have dancers and parade them around like sex meat in skin tight outfits, shouldn't they be in better shape than 45 year old wife? Shouldn't they look like super models? Listen if the have belly rolls, they don't make the grade. I don't care if they are prima ballerinas because, and can we be honest here, no one cares that they are dancing. They only care that they look good!

The new Belichickian style of never leaking news. It's driving me nuts. Especially before drafts and during the signing of free agents and with injuries. I want to know what's going on. If you don't want to release the info to the media, fine. AT THE VERY LEAST, SEND ME A FREAKING E-MAIL DANNY AND KEEP ME IN THE LOOP!!!

The frequency of the panned cheers at the game. Please, cease and desist with this immediately. Every once in a while is okay, but every possession?? I counted during one game last year and did you know that during that game the other team scored 65% of the time that the "DEFENSE! DEFENSE!" panned cheer was used. I mean the opposition is so used to it they now score MORE OFTEN when the cheers are being used. If the cheers aren't being used the other teams will be confused and probably score less often!!!
