History

Boston has probably 10 championships this millennium across all 4 sports

Luck of the Irish

This is the main issue. The Patriots upsetting the Rams to win their first Super Bowl with a rookie QB was cool. The Red Sox finally defeating the Yankees with an amazing comeback and then winning the World Series for the first time in forever was cool. Then the Boston teams kept winning, Bill Simmons became a douchebag, and the rest is history.

Thank god they don’t have a wnba team


At least I think they don’t

What is it that people hate about celtics??

• Team?
• City?
• Patriots?
• Red Sox?
• Bruins?
• Accent?

Just curious...

Personally I hate Lakers, Yankees, aggys, blOU, and B12 much much more.  

I've hated the Celtics going back to the 70s when the ABA/Spurs merged with the NBA. Red Auerbach continually talked shit about the ABA --  that coaches were bad, the players weren't good enough to play in the NBA, that Julius Erving was a nice kid but not a great player, and that the ball belonged on the end of a seal's nose. And then of course, post-merger the ABA players dominated. Then they backdoored their way into Larry Bird and continually fleeced dumb GMs in trades.

I turned on Boston around 07 when they beat the Indians in the ALCS. Also the Fever Pitch movie made the Sox out to be some holy small market alternative to the Yankees when they spent just as much.

Also Paul Pierce and KG are two of the biggest dickheads ever

Yep never understood that shit. 
Indiana has to be crushed after losing that game. They had it

[Underdog 28754]

Any “hate” may have been towards Auerbach arrogance but even as a Knicks fan the Celtics had many players that were like able… Hondo, Cowens, White, Bird, DJ, etc… 

[Reynolds Woodcock 4788]

spend some time in the north east, and you'll have plenty of reasons to hate the celtics. their fans are gutter trash.

11 western 4 Eastern lol

[ztejas 43524]

Looks about right. Idk about Sabonis and Haliburton but the last spot or two always gets murky. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

[Derka 6290]

if you aren’t sad that this is coming to an end then something is wrong with you:

 

[Derka 6290]

great first quarter.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

Keep kyrie from going nuclear?

Uncheck

I fucking love Sir Charles.

Kenny's got some thick skin but he needs it cuz he's too often wanting to contribute something profound that falls well short. Chuck and Shaq know what's up, though--it's all about the LULZ, fellas!

I'll miss the TNT crew if they don't find a home, but I don't really give two shits what happens to the Jet.

[Michael Knight 12989]

I mean Chuck and Shaq are two of the most famous basketball players of all time and probably the publics 2 favorite analysts they will get another job

Agreed, but it won't work if they split them up cuz the magic happens when those two get together and start clowning (on players, fans, entire cities, countries, each other, etc.).

Ernie referees and helps keep them somewhat on topic. Not really sure what Kenny brings to the table.

[ztejas 43524]

Maybe the earth is flat?

Minnesota is gonna need vaccine requirements in their arena to start the 3rd quarter.

New-look KAT is such an easy guy to root for. He was such a fucking doofus for so long. ANT seriously unlocked something in him.

[Quagmire 2147]

They need to change the rule if you win the challenge you get another .

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

Adorable flop, pussy

Hey let's keep it PG in here please.

Not a flop , pussy

[Dutchrudder 11147]

This game is great, both teams are doing different things well. I'm sure Mavs and Twolves fans teams are having heart palpations right now, but for a neutral observer this is a breath of fresh air over most of the other games in the playoffs so far. Hoping we get 7 games this series with a dozen lead changes in the 4th each time. 

[gofuckyourself 8349]

Holy shit this is good.

[ztejas 43524]

There's nothing like Reggie Miller talking shit and doubting a guy that's better than he ever was. 

[gsoda3 3274]

These moving screens look like pulling linemen.

[Baboontyme 2815]

Omfg Reggie we get it, you think he's tired. Shut your fucking pie hole. 

[Zepol87 9188]

Fuck Reggie 

[gofuckyourself 8349]

Damn that overhead angle it looks like a good putback.

[gsoda3 3274]

One of the biggest issues Mavs fans have with kidd is how he doesnt emphasize the box out.

[Quagmire 2147]

That wasn’t close , Reggie stupid

Yeah it was close, but I would guess 75% of the time it wouldnt be called interference. 

[gofuckyourself 8349]

Kats been good this quarter but that 3 was rushed and not a good shot.

[Dutchrudder 11147]

Yikes, that KAT 3 was a bit ill advised. 4 point game with only 17.5 left, gonna be a tough hill to climb for Minny.

[gofuckyourself 8349]

I know it's the style but I hate the unnecessary 3 when a team is down by 4 with plenty of time. Work for a better shot.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

48 3s? wtf is that lol

NBA action...it's jack-it-up-tastic!

[staboner 4984]

did they miss a backcourt on that wolves inbound play? kat caught on the plus side then ant came from the backcourt without establishing himself first before touching the ball? 

[gofuckyourself 8349]

That wasn't the plan Conley.
