Recently there is a lot of threads about the decline of the big 3 and the Celtics in general. A lot of negative opinions about trading Ray Allen, Rasheed bringing laziness, limiting BBD etc.

Seriously? What ever happen to the whole "Banner 18 is coming" in the 1st half of the season. We were doing great weren't we? So we lost 18 games in the past 35 games. I know its no excuse that we blame KG and Pierce's injuries and all. I for one is blaming on effort.

We have every talent in the team from starter to bench to 3rd string to win the whole thing. Come on, regular season will not predict who wins the championship. We are still top 4 seed and doubt we will face Cleveland, Orlando or the Hawks in the 1st round. I mean we have beat Cleveland Orlando and even the Lakers before this season. I dont care if people say we beat Lakers without their Kobe. A win = a win. Even with Kobe they barely got by us this season (even last season they only won 1 or 2 points as well in our court).

Its just a mental thing people. Yeh we lost to Memphis by 20 pts. Cant we have a very bad day? Lakers lost to Cleveland by 20 and they were booed by their own crowd as well? Who cares if Cleveland is a better team than Memphis, everyone has off days. I was so disappointed today seeing not a loud and full crowd at the garden today vs the Pacers...

keep believing people, the Celtics are NOT done...we still got a shot. Don't let the losses get in your minds, come playoffs its a whole different mentality and intensity.

In my opinion, the more doubt and criticism the more a team wants to prove that they are not the underdogs. No one expects the Hawks to take us in 7 games in 08, no one thought we even would beat the lakers in 08. Come 09 season, no one would've thought Bulls would won the first game and would take 6 OTs and 7 games just to beat Chicago. Not to mention Orlando was the biggest underdog in 09 season. Everyone expects a Celtics vs Cleveland in the Conference Finals, and one of them would advance to the NBA finals, no one would predict Orlando would beat BOTH Celtics and the Cavs to advance to face the Lakers

once again, its not over people, keep believing

Love your post, Manl-lui! That's the interesting thing about basketball. Ya just never know what's gonna happen. The unexpected ALWAYS happens and I'm always on the edge of my seat watching my team. PP and KG has an excellent game tonight and looked so so so much better. I think they are healing and as a result, feeling better and more energetic. Ray is still amazing. Just about everyone on the team was high on energy. BBD game was best I've seen yet this season.. His defense is becoming superb and his screens and blocks are really helping our team. The 15 points he got tonight in the short time he played didn't hurt either. I'm so tired of the name calling and negativity. Let's support our team.

TP.

Very good write up.


This team right now is so stacked with talent and we have so many weapons that if we click on all cylinders...we can give anyone a run for their money.

Injuries hit us bad this year and that was the real reason on why we lost so many games.

And you know your right....I didn't expect Bulls to take us through that roller coaster series last playoffs...and nor did many expect Orlando to end up in the finals.....

But this is the NBA and NBA is where amazing happens !!

exactly this is how i see it...

we have every reason to win look

we have 2 of the decades top 10 pf/c of all time
Kevin Garnett
Rasheed Wallace

we also have one of the decades top 10 SG
Ray Allen

decade top SF
Paul Pierce

Rondo is going to be a top 10 pg and Perkin is underrated.
Michael Finley is a key player in Spurs championship. This team can WIN

I still believe in this team.

Until someone knocks this team out with all of the Big 3 on the court....I am not counting this era out.

lol no! Glee? I hate Glee for winning awards over The Office and Modern Family this year. Both shows have been awesome this year, and they lose to a musical. Terrible. TP for the idea though!
