Booing during the playoffs is NOT ok

[jasail]

i don't like the booing. poor rotations, poor shot selection, poor hustle.  i may not like it but they deserve it.

What the hell are these so-called Celtics fans at the Garden thinking?

That's the kind of crap I'd expect from Fakers fans.

Spoiled little brats in their $200 dollar seats, that's all they are.

I hate this new brand of Celtics fans that's been ushered in by the Big 3. YOU DON'T BOO YOUR OWN TEAM IN THE PLAYOFFS.

I completely agree with you Ballin TP!

Do you want them to cheer? You deserve to get boo'd when you're losing a playoff game by 30 at home. This isn't little league where everyones gets a juice box and a pat on the back.

Yes, I do want them to cheer Frezz, and I want them to cheer them on to get them to start playing better and get them to go on a run like they should have when things started to not look good in the first quater when the Cavs went up ten. 

Think of all the things the Celtics have done for you and you're booing them!  I could never bring myself to booing my favorite team!

did you see the game?

[Mike-Dub]

did you see the game?

 Yeah I did and it was LeBron going off and there is nothing you can do when he doese that!  Go be a Laker fan with Bill Simmons rocknrollforyoursoul.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Neither is losing by 30.

Word.

[Mike-Dub]

Neither is losing by 30.

No, it's not, but why can't the fans show some respect for what the Celtics franchise has done.

[Scottie]

It's actually the more knowledgeable fans who are booing.  They can discern between max effort and something much less.  The know-nothings cheer any kind of substandard effort.

Possibly the most ridiculous statement I have ever seen.

Oh yeah, call me Bill Simmons, but last I checked, LeBron didn't score 124 points, he scored 38, which means the rest of the Cavs scored 86, which means the C's were nearly outscored by the nonsuperstars from Cleveland. Yes, of course I realize that Lebron's hot shooting opened things up for his teammates, but the C's were nonetheless giving him too much room on the perimeter and playing bad team defense, and their defensive rotations were horrible. Remember when Jordan scored 63 against the C's in the '86 playoffs but the C's won the game? You can have a superstar score his points but still beat his team, and clearly the C's were flat tonight, like they didn't care, settling for jump shots from the opening tip despite talking all week about attacking ... and that's why they deserved to get booed.

Well, the good news is that you can mindlessly cheer substandard effort if you want to.  Yeehaw!

[PosImpos]

You get what you play for, so to speak.

The Celtics played for boos tonight.

What did the Celtics Franchise do tonight? 

[satch]

The C's are not to far away from making a transition from an old team to a somewhat younger team. I do hope they keep the leader of the team. The one that led and changed the "all about me" attitude of the team....KG. It's time to build around Perk, Rhondo using KG's leadership. (I think Perk will be a big surprise if given a chance by a coach that believes in him.) Ray Allen as 6th man....maybe. The rest can be used as trade chips.

Frankly, were I Doc, I would have got up in the first two minutes of the third quarter and called Salvatore every foul thing I could cram into 30 seconds, called him a gutless moron and dared him to eject me.

Because there's no reason to sit around and watch one of the worst playoff efforts I've ever seen from a Celtic team.

We shouldn't be surprised.  They've shown all season they are capable of playing amazing, and capable of simply checking out within the first few minutes and dropping a major turd.
