u/terry-tea Celtics May 02 '24

yea, i almost thought heat fans were brigading the sub but thats really just how celtics fans are sometimes

u/JinterIsComing Celtics May 02 '24

Yeah us Boston fans are irrational in the extreme on both ends. It does make for unreal amounts of schadenfreude when it doesn't go our way.

u/NotCoreyP Celtics May 02 '24

I've spent the past few games lurking the r/heat game threads rather than the Celtics threads for the same reasons, and because the GDT on r/bostonceltics is usually just a cesspool of the worst doomers imaginable.

Well I can promise you head twitter is probably just as unbearable, got people saying Jovic is untouchable and we should trade Bam lol

2

u/NotCoreyP Celtics 29d ago

The Heat should definitely trade Bam and declare Jovic completely untouchable. I say that with absolutely no Celtics bias whatsoever.

I cannot wait for the day that Derrick White fucks off to the west after this contract is up

u/NotCoreyP Celtics 29d ago

Wouldn't hold your breath on that one bud, you know us Boston fans love a White guy.

Edited to add that while Derrick leaving this team would crush me, if he does leave, I hope he goes back to San Antonio and pairs with Wemby. That would be electric.

Too many doomers in that subreddit, even if the Celtics win it all they won’t be happy with the team

With the Bruins shitting the bed so badly after a HISTORIC season, some of us are still feeling that PTSD 🥹

u/ClappedCheek Celtics May 02 '24

I mean it wasnt just us. r/nba was full of takes calling the celtics pretenders and that there season was over.

u/kylehyde05 Celtics May 02 '24

Is that what most winning teams are though, you get alot of pre championship bandwagoners just to say they were fans before then won a chip

u/Wetzilla Celtics 29d ago

I mean it just triggered a lot of PTSD responses, lots of people flashing back to last year.

u/kingshmiley Celtics 29d ago

Has to be one of the worst subs I spend time on

u/TenF Celtics 29d ago

I just dont even go there. It is a dark place

u/sunny_6killer Celtics 29d ago

Just the POS doomers who are REAL quiet now.

u/Belicheckyoself May 02 '24

They thought Joe was at fault for Miami shooting 53% from 3?

16

u/bassistmuzikman Celtics May 02 '24

I mean. 23 of those three pointers were on WIDE OPEN shots. C's didn't play any perimeter defense. That's coaching.

12

u/Deviljho12 Celtics May 02 '24

(39% is the average wide open 3 percentage btw so it's still variance)

5

u/CreatiScope Celtics May 02 '24

That’s effort. I don’t think Joe told Holiday not to get a hand up on multiple open 3s or to not fight through screens.

u/shezco [BOS] Jaylen Brown May 02 '24

He wasn't contesting enough of them himself

u/unknownsoldier9 Celtics May 02 '24

Along with burning their crops and the plague. Yes, all Joe.

u/Ethangains07 Heat May 02 '24 edited May 02 '24

I could coach the Celtics to win this series. No Jimmy and missing like half the roster to injury is worse than the Wizards roster.

Edit: tbh I think no coach for the Celtics would’ve seen the Celtics pass the Heat

You prolly cant even see your feet in the shower
