CELTICS GREEN BLOG by and for boston celtics fans: Comments from the Other Side

It's amazing to me how fans start out expecting a win or at least a good game from their team and then by the end of the thread they are attacking every player on their own team. It would seem to me crediting the Celtics for being so strong defensively would be a better way to go instead of throwing every Bobcat player under the bus. Well, they didn't throw Gerald Wallace under the bus, but just about everyone else. And, with Larry Brown at the helm, they can't even really blame the coach like the Cavs fans can and do.

We'll be opening up against the universally despised ( at least around here ) Boston Celtics. The Celtics will be coming off of a tough game against Lebron and the Cavs the night before, so its likely that they may come into the game without being completely focused on the Cats.

Considering we match up well with them and they will be coming in on the back end of a back to back having just played King James and Shaq, I think we have a good shot at winning.

Charlotte has no chance of beating Boston on their Home opener. New Season; new lost.

I watched that game tonight Boston @ Cleveland and I think we are going to have our hands full tomorrow night, I pray that the Celtics are going to be very tired against us because they looked very good tonight...

Terrible first game.
Couldn't of been against a regular team?

I think we can win. The Celtics are an older team and this is there first back-to-back game of the season. That means there bodies are not yet used to it so it will be that much harder.

Ok so they are tired... Maybe they sleepwalk thru 3 quarters and let us hang around, then in the 4th they get serious and shut us down defensively, while pierce gets to the line 10 times in the last 5 mins and they win by 5. That's my prediction anyway.
Unless they lose vs Cleveland in that first game... In that case, god help us. We will get destroyed.

To have Rasheed Wallace and Kevin Garnett on the court together just isn't fair.

Lakers and Boston are in another league then the rest of the league.
There storybook franchises.

Cavs are better then the Celtics. And just because they are in that other "leauge" doesn't mean we cant beat them, the lackers have only beatn us...twice? Since weve come into th elague. We own them. Plus we hav e apretty good record against the Celtics too I think, if not then all the losses are very close.

Cavs are not better then the Celtics.

Cavs are better and deeper then the Celtics. Celtics are old and will burn out at the end of the season just like they did last year.

Felton cannot guard Ray Allen not to mention we're playing a fully loaded Celtics team. Not feeling good about this one. Hopefully we'll have a good November.

Just post pictures of the cheerleaders.

Good god no, have you seen some of them?

In ordor to pull this out our beanch needs to come through big.
2nd night of a back to back . If we can ware them down we stand a good chance.

Fresh, fresh legs, young players vs old, 2nd night of a back to back? Better start hot.

Glad we got the first to of the season under our belt during possession 1.

Jersey's look good. Celtics can't take that away from us.

Refs call it on Tyson but not on KG, go figure.

Sheed comes in and a tech is called.

So, what are our excuses? I nominate, "we have starters injured/coming back from injury" so we can go ahead and get that one out of the way.

Mine is that we just aren't that good.

Yeah, which makes me wonder: is that our defense keeping us in this, or is Boston just not really giving it their all yet? I'm hoping for the prior, but I'm wondering if it's the latter.

We've clawed back in by uglifying a beautiful game. Some things never change.

I thought ridding ourselves of team cancer Emeka Okafor was supposed to put an end to our tendency to get stuffed at the rim all of the time.

But where is DJ's defense? Back in Mexico I assume. That's why he said "OLE" on that drive by Rondo

Sheed always exposes us.

Rasheed Wallace's transition from dynamic athletic big man to jump-shooting old man is complete.

The announcer have to keep reminding us that the Bobcats have never led.

Seems like whenever Boston decides to do it, they can just hit the gas and leave us hanging.

All this team does is shoot 3s.(Boston)

KG looked like he sat on him. I swear it looked like he was worried about Ray getting up and he pancaked him to the floor face first, which I'm sure wasn't his intent but come on.

Felton better be happy Sean May never fell on him like that.....he would basically be a chalk outline

Felton had wood chips taken out of his lip.

Somebody guard Ray Allen... Please

I might have mentioned this before but I hate Ray Allen.

I'm just glad the Celtics aren't bringing their best game against us

We are playing like we are scared of them

Boy they are playing just awful right now....its hard to watch

We probably have more techs then bench points

I bet right now a team consisting of a cinder block, 3 midgets, and a Charlie Daniels impersonator could drop 90 on us

DJ's rockin a Quadruple-Single tonight: 1 point, 1 rebound, 1 PF, 1 assist

DJ just totally missed chandler on the alley oop. You could see chandler kinda say wtf after DJ didn't throw it up.

Must be tough to go from Chris Paul to our PGs

Isn't there a rulwe you have to actually sit when not playing and no cheering jumping around. Yeah maybe dumb but KG should be fined/technicaled.

At least we have a better record than Cleveland

There should be a mercy rule in the NBA.

Well that game sucked....A new all time low in points scored 59... Ewe got no where to go now but up....

I think maybe Okafor is laughing at us, too. Even if they lose, he's having a good game, and TC did not.
