No Need To Get Angry at the Celtics

[OsirusCeltics]

To be honest they don’t owe anything to you
They don’t go to sleep and think “Oh boy I let down the fans that root and watch me everyday. I better not let the people on the blogs and media down”

Don’t you think if The Celtics cared so much about the fans, they would’ve have busted their hump every single possession of the regular season? They don’t suit up for game for the sole reason to make fans happy. May be tough to swallow. Their needs come first, which is finding the best way to win a title at their pace and to not tire themselves out. To the Celtics (or any other NBA team), its just another game, Win or Loss. Each game doesn’t mean the sky is falling

I watch the Celtics and admire them more than any other team, but I go in with the notion that they are human beings and have a life. And they don’t act like robots who have infinite endurance, so their gonna have lulls in their game from time to time. That’s just my point of view

This thread ought to be fun...

  He has a solid point. How often did you hear last year how important it was for the Celts to win certain games? They clearly disagreed.

This was the point I was driving at in another thread.

This gave me a good chuckle --

Well I am sure this is just what the NBA wants it fans to think. 


Especially when it comes time to buy tickets, jerseys, NBA league pass.....

Welp, whether it's good business or not, it didn't seem to matter to the players last season...

I'm not really sure where the point is here. Is the point that the Celtics don't care about the fans or that the Celtics don't care about the games?

I think it's that the Celtics players have a right to act totally unprofessionally, and have a right to breach the fans' trust, because we're nothing more than the suckers who pay their salaries.

yup, and that's why I no longer spend as much money on NBA products such as Celtic game tickets. 

when I pay for a service, particularly when performed by a professional, (ok, mind out of the gutter people) I expect them to perform that service to the best of their abilities and do it right.  No difference applies to professional athletes.

Not every game should be treated as life or death. No one acts like a robot in their profession. Its the same way for anyone else's job, an office person wouldn't want to feel like every paper they file is a life or death situation. People have lulls because they are human and not because they purposely don't care and want to let down the people that support them.

They are not immortal (although the media would try to pretend they are)
