I'm a big fan of the JET signing and think he can bring alot to this team but he needs a big fat slice of humble pie. Swagger is a good thing but dude, wait until you play a game with the team before forcasting a title.

What i loved about the 2008 team was the modesty and humble attitude. You didn't see them making championship predictions before the season, they knew they'd have to prove themselves and they did, night in and night out. I remember before the finals started there was a photo shoot with Celtics and Lakers players and the Championship trophy and Doc wouldn't even let any of the guys touch it. And it must have made it that much sweeter when they won it.

Leave the arrogance and egotism up to the prima donnas in South Beach. It doesn't fit at all with the Celtics tradition.

He didn't sit in front of a huge crowd and gloat "not one, not two..." and have his two goons giggle like little girls. He probably won't fake cough after getting his arse owned.

He got a tattoo, he promised he is going to put in work, no media bull no nothing.

And i think the tattoo is great and for the record if the Celtics win it all i'm getting the same one but i just don't think he should be making any guarentees to the media about championships without even having one practice under his belt with the team. It will be alot of new guys working together on the team this year, he just needs to chill and wait for them to gel a bit before making any bold statements. You just never know what could happen. KG could blow out his knee the 1st day of practice.

Well that's too bad because that is Jason Terry he's not goin to change. Yeah he's cocky also superstitious guaranteed a title with Mavs and it happened feels confident enough to do it again and he did.

Well , Jet has already proven himself.. And that's his personality, so I really don't mind.. I like the swag!

i'm very, very big on Celtics Tradition and i never want to see a bunch of thugs out there in Green & White acting like a bunch of junior college renegades ...........

but there has always been a quiet arrogance and disdain for opponents by all the great Celtic teams - this Jason Terry thing, i agree, is a little much for my tastes, but that '08 team also played with a nasty, determined attitude and didn't mind one bit if things got a little testy on the court - we've missed some of that since we lost Perk, certainly, but also guys like Posey, Eddie, Sam I Am, Powe, even Sheed during the '10 Finals run.

I would like it if Jason Terry fits in with KG and Pierce when it comes to trash talking.

lets see what happens when the season starts and hes gotta play up to the expectations.

but in terms of arrogance, yeah hes showing a little bit of it to the media. but guess what? not a single major media source, with the exception of celticsblog writers :), truly believe the celts can win the whole thing this year (majority have us bowing down to the heat in the conf finals, and this was prior to the DH12 trade). among the top 5 or 6 teams in the league, we are considered the underdog.

so really, no one really cares for his arrogance cause they dont see it as realistic.

i hope he does prove them wrong

When you're six foot nothin and a hundred and nothing, you better have some confidence.  This guy has already walked the walk, so I'm OK with him talking the talk.

Go knock on wood now for your KG comment. I just did. Too scary  :'(
