Im just wondering, is everyone going to be this dramatic every time we lose?

[ianboyextreme]

Every loss we have, all the naysayers come out and scream armageddon. Were gonna lose some more games this year, so you guys need to get a hold of yourselves if you want to keep you sanity. I mean after every game its like "ok we won we might be ok...oh we lost again were missing the playoffs... alright we won maybe were not so bad after all".
The outcome of every game doesnt dictate how our overall season success will be, win OR lose.

No not anymore,  after this letdown , with EVERYTHING in the C's favor they still look dead.

I was thinking last year this was going to be the case, but they are under contract,  so now we'll just suffer though and smile as they get pounded ,

I'll just take satisfaction in knowing DA will dump em , and try and get us back on track for the future.

I was still hopeful for a team that could make the playoff and even make some noise doing it.  But, after tonight ... well I'm just to old to believe in the Easter Bunny and and Santa Claus .

Celtics need some more luck....like when DA got the big three .  Since younger players don't seem to care about B Ball history or Bill Russell,  it maybe hard to lure them to Boston without 90 degree temps, Kardashins, and other asorted TV nuts.

So... I'm just hoping old lady luck finally smiles on us and we can get some new blood ie ...a Blake Griffin  from the draft.

Cats out of the bag now ...drama is over..

With the way we lost, YES! At least in the first three games, we had (some) valid excuses, but now, after the last two games...  

[Celticjay]

Last few years that was a reasonable comment and I'm sure I overreacted many occasions. I guess that's part of being a die hard fan.  

This year just feels different.  Nobody gets easy baskets or baskets at the rim with the exception of Rondo.  They have no Post game and are strictly a jump shooting team.  Rebounding has always been an issue and that seems worse as well.

Change is inevitable after this year so I think it is very legitimate to be concerned for the future.  The next 8-9 months things are going to dramatically change.  Danny can go so many different directions with the rebuild (trades/FA/draft picks)

I think he will trade Ray this year if they hover around 500 before the trade deadline as he is the most attractive piece to a playoff team.  Imagine Allen on the Bulls.. Maybe we could pry Asik or Gibson?

Perhaps Josh Smith for Ray with some other things included.  He makes close to Rays salary and is close child hood friends with Rondo.  He is the type of player we should surround rondo with as is Jeff Green. Guys who are incredibly quick and can finish the on the Break.  Rondo had a few breakaways but KG couldn't catch up..

Possibly trade KG if someone was looking for a salary dump. Maybe Al Jefferson or someone like that who is likely not in his teams long term plans.  

Pierce is interesting as a team like the Bulls could really use him.. Maybe a Pierce for some of their young pieces...  I know everyone hates the idea of Pierce not finishing with the Celts.  I do too, but if it helps the team long term.  In the end Pierce's place in Boston Lore is secure regardless if he plays for other teams..  Karl Malone isn't though of differently for playing with the Lakers neither is Pippen for playing on the Rockets..  It's something we need to let go of. If he can land us some assets you do it.. You can have some big events a couple years later at the Garden in his honor.

Danny could get some things done if he has the cajones, which we know he has..  I just wonder what type of record it would take for him to start firing.

FA is a scary thought as FA $$$ is no guarantee to work out for teams sans the Miami heat.  think about the Pistons (Charlie V, Ben Gordon anyone).  Unless you get a superstar it really doesn't help you much.  Seems we need to get some high draft picks or make some great trades...

Danny's legacy as a GM will likely be determined in the next 8-9 months..

Time to just sit back and watch...

Well i definetly diddnt feel the same way about this game as i did with the indiana game. I mean seriously, we havent had one game where the big 3 has played at least well at the same time. I was also real happy to see bradley, pietrus, bass, and rondo running up and down the floor together. Overall we played pretty stifling defense often in this game.

You're new here so you have to understand that in the game threads there is a large contingent of Celticsblog participants that pushes the panic button if we are not winning games by 20 after the first quarter and extend our lead after each quarter. Doom and gloom are all they spout. In the game threads, we have been hearing about how old the Big Three are, how horrible a coach Doc is, how they can't win the game, how the game is over if the fall behind in the first or second quarter, how they play stupid, how they are garbage, how they will be lucky to make the playoffs, and more ridiculous things for three years.

Outside of the game threads, its just very common for people to propose really nonsensical trade proposals, pathetically lopsided trade proposals, and bad to the point of being comical trade proposal, all in the name of trying to improve the team because they are lacking this or that. Complaints of Doc's rotations, Doc's being able to coach defense without Thibs or Franks, Doc's overplaying of the starters, Doc's not playing rookie or bench players enough, Danny's poor off seasons, Danny letting go of player x(Posey, T Allen, House, Perk, Robinson, Walker, Erden, etc.) and the play of just about every player on this team is an everyday occurrence.

While no one wants to come somewhere where it just a rah-rah, wave the pompoms type of blog, since the championship season, and even during a couple of those playoff series in the 2008 playoffs, Celticsblog has become inundated with dramatic over reactions and negative outpourings about this team.

Don't get me wrong, there is a large portion of people that have a good head on their shoulders and can try to remain subjective and say the good things happening with this team and the bad and there is another group that looks at only the bright side of things. But I think since the 2008 off season, the dramatic over reactors and negative posters that visit this blog has increased at an almost exponential rate.

So to answer your question, yes it will be this dramatic after every loss and may even get worse.

Being realistic does not mean being being dramatic. Not being realistic is a lot worse than being dramatic.

And don't forget blame Rondo for every little thing....

[rickyfan3.0...]

It is the end of a pretty good run for us. Thus the drama. These guys are old as dirt, KG is clearly done, Ray and Pierce are on the decline, we do not have a legit C on the roster...

There is a reason to be dramatic. I mean, did you see KG get a rebound at the rim, then take 2 steps and shoot a fadeaway J? It's over dude. Who can we match up with in the Top 4 in the playoffs that we could beat?

BLOW IT UP! PLEASE!

What? This has been the story of the Celtics for decades with the exception of DA tripping over the KG and Allen trade. This is what happens when management try's to suck out every drop of blood from a team that isn't making any anymore. Celtics have been very nearsighted for years. Boston definitely has issues. I like the owner he's game but hanging with dwarfs. The complacent ones have a glimmer of hope. Decades of it. The Sox and Pats have owned this town for a long time.

TP. This describes the forum exactly.

Oi

Yeah this is pretty spot on.

If kg and pierce made those bunnies and we won there wouldnt be hundreds of comments of hyperventilating posters saying to blow up the team. Or if we happened to win by  20 people would have turn completely into believing in this team.

[Roy H.]

Note to all: Let's cool it with some of the rhetoric, please.  Some of the emotionally charged language and labeling of others is threatening to derail this thread.

[Chris]

Yes.  And when we win, the swing will be just as dramatic.

[Q_FBE]

I don't bother going into the game threads anymore and just hang out in the chat room. Even so, I mentioned three times to the chat moderator that if you could hear me in person, that you would send me to my bedroom without supper.

Looking back at last night, I am not expecting much from this team for another month. They look very ill prepared right now. Doc says there are conditioning issues and that is not a good thing - especially with our aging core. Perhaps a benching or even Do Not Dress for guys like Pierce and KG are needed until they can get their act together.

Nobody spotted up or hustled down the court for Rondo last night so his reduced assist output was clearly evident from that. Jason Terry had the quote of the year at halftime. Perhaps Doc Rivers should keep playing that over and over and light a match under Pierce and KG.
