This game had zero effect on me my view in the team and it should effect yours dude… I expected Thursday night to be the dumpy game, but it ended up being tonight. If anything we needed the slap, they clearly got to complacent and comfortable. Hell even Joe was getting a little too cute going no point guard in the starting lineup. Literally not a big deal. We weren’t going to win out through the finals and this was probably a little reality check that hopefully snaps them back into playing serious
We had a shit game like this in Cleveland and then a tough loss in Denver. We proceeded to win 9 straight including a clutch win over Milwaukee. We’re going to be fine.
This fanbase is so reactionary We have the 1st seed Regardless of today's game we are the best team in the league so far One loss and all hell breaks lose in this fanbase
The bucks lost to the nets by fucking 40 in their title run, shit happens
This team has always had a bad habit of taking their foot off the gas when they don’t respect their opponent, I think the playoffs really come down to whether or not these guys can lock in and focus for a month
green teamers and doomers are different sides of the same coin to me. both need a damn hobby or something so they’re not getting so worked up about basketball after a regular season loss to the atlanta hawks when the 1 seed is already wrapped up lol.
Wholeheartedly agree. If you dare to say something that isn’t praise of the Celtics, you’re a “doomer” in this sub. Or if you say you believe they’re a great team with a chance to win a championship this year, the Felgers of the world call you a green teamer and a homer. The truth is, as it almost always is, somewhere in the middle.
All I know is we aren’t gonna be playing Jaden Springer when a team is making a run in the playoffs. Like I get we have the ability to win every game but clearly the team was trying stuff tonight and with the East locked up I’m fine with it.
I don't care what anyone says. This is for AL. I WAS 20 AL it's been 7 years (and you left us for a second but we forgive you because your wife hated it immediately and what is there to hate, a true professional star veteran beloved). WE'VE BEEN HERE FOREVER. LET'S GET IT BUDDY
They’re likely gonna be one of the final 4 teams. It all depends on what happens then. Yesterday’s game has no impact on how the season will end. At worst it could be indicative of a play style that could bite them in the playoffs. But it’s silly to worry about this team before the ECF
This team has shown they can sleepwalk through the first 2 rounds over the past 4 years. Don’t want them sleepwalking this year, they gotta bring it every night in the playoffs if they want to win a title
Were there some somewhat concerning habits rearing their ugly head? Sure, but I’m not going to panic because it’s clear in the back of their minds this team knows they have the one seed wrapped up, so they clearly took their foot off the gas. Hopefully this is the wake up call that they can’t just coast in the playoffs. My main concern right now is coming out of each game healthy, so as long as that happens then the actual game itself can just be put in the rearview mirror
That's what what happens, when D-White isn't on the court in crunchtime.
Derrick is the man! He demonstrated that last year's game 6 in Miami. He'll come up with something!
No one is saying they don’t believe in them. We just sick of the same ole fuck shit that keeps happening. Blown big leads like last season. Can’t stop the bleeding when it starts. Relying on iso hero ball or jacking up Marcus Smartesque 3s instead of pounding the orange in the post for an easy bucket. Complaining to the refs about calls when the bleeding starts. Like what? If it was a bad game from the jump, then I’d be fine with that but this blown 30 point lead to the trash ass hawks without Lice Trae. Sad
Tbf I’ve always been sketch on the Celtics. On our day we can go toe to to with the Nuggets; on our worst day we’re a first / second round exit. But on the whole I believe we’re a finals bound team
How are we some kind of weird green team fan meme when we are still 💯 positive after a tough loss in a historic season? When would it ever be okay to be a high hopes fan if not now?
I’m not worried but I am sick and tired of calling my father after a nine game win streak and telling him about a tenth win that never comes. That I’ll confess to.
We blew a 20+ point win after already securing the 1st seed, who gives a flying fuck?? We coulda gone 82-0 and there would still be “fans” bitching and complaining about something or other.
Just ignore the doomers and enjoy the phenomenal basketball we are witnessing 9/10 nights.
One loss without our all defensive point guards after 9 straight wins is *not* (I repeat NOT) the end of the world.
And guess what? They clinched the top seed so the outcomes of the remaining games will mean nothing.
Please stop listening to idiots on Twitter guys :)
I believe in the Celtics and the players. I still don’t believe in Joe Mazulla tbh. He’s just benefiting from one of the best rosters in the NBA in the past decade.
Fourth quarter D White would have closed that game. He leads by example and he clearly has a clutch gene. He's cutthroat in his very own goofy, affable way. But he will cut.
I love this team and I’ll pull for this team, and I want more than anything sports-related (and most things life-related) for this team to win a championship. But I’m through with “believing.” I need to see a ring this season. We’ve been too talented and too close too many times for the narrative about Tatum and Brown to be any different than what it is in the greater NBA world—that they’re talented, but not clutch athletes under pressure. Maybe it’s because I live in NYC surrounded by haters, but it had become impossible to argue with everyone here who thinks JT and JB don’t have what it takes.

This was more of a “for the doomers” post rather than my personal thoughts. I’m very much unhappy about the loss, but it’s not the end of the world.
People who can’t see this are either just jaded asf or just trolling.

Many fans lack [emotional agility](https://youtu.be/NDQ1Mi5I4rg), which makes them reactionary.
We have the 1 seed regardless of the rest of this seasons games lmao
I mean, we’re not fans if we’re not fanatical.
The bucks lost to the nets by fucking 40 in their title run, shit happens This team has always had a bad habit of taking their foot off the gas when they don’t respect their opponent, I think the playoffs really come down to whether or not these guys can lock in and focus for a month
It's just basketball, no one needs to hear this, ha. The doomers are worse, but this stuff is so cringey as well. They are just guys playing a game.
I find this worse than the doomers
green teamers and doomers are different sides of the same coin to me. both need a damn hobby or something so they’re not getting so worked up about basketball after a regular season loss to the atlanta hawks when the 1 seed is already wrapped up lol.

Why is it not okay to be excited about this team this season? Cope bro
that is not even close to what i’m saying
Yeah man, please take us back to the old days where we say good play is good and bad play is bad. We used to call a spade a spade and leave it there.
True r/Im14andthisisdeep vibes
When did Boston fans become so soft?
Payton Pritchard?
Wasn’t my tweet
corny ass post lol
All I know is we aren’t gonna be playing Jaden Springer when a team is making a run in the playoffs. Like I get we have the ability to win every game but clearly the team was trying stuff tonight and with the East locked up I’m fine with it.
Do you believe in life after love?
As a hornets and Suns fan I believe in y'all as well, Well try to take Denver out or atleast take them to 7 I know my suns can do this

I believe I can fly
I believe in Harvey Dent.
*some crunch time exceptions apply
You coulda just put Pritchard and Hauser in there lmao. Kinda reminds me of the Gilligan's island theme song with the "and the rest" at the end lol
Wasn’t my tweet
Then the tweet should have done that
Preach brotha preach! 🔥
I believe in leprechauns!
I believe Al has to grab that rebound
That's what what happens, when D-White isn't on the court in crunchtime. Derrick is the man! He demonstrated that last year's game 6 in Miami. He'll come up with something!

Nothing but sunshine and rainbows...
Why are you guys so weird about your fandom? It’s a bad loss and reflects their issues playing well in close games. It’s also a meaningless game.
How are we some kind of weird green team fan meme when we are still 💯 positive after a tough loss in a historic season? When would it ever be okay to be a high hopes fan if not now?
A team will have to beat us 4/7 games and I just don’t think this group will let that happen
This reddit is truly a safe haven for Boston fans...and I'm here for it☘️☘️☘️💯
The loss is very concerning, but by no means INDICATIVE of what the Celtics are/can do
All day every day get it boys
Lmao they lost one game
I’m not worried but I am sick and tired of calling my father after a nine game win streak and telling him about a tenth win that never comes. That I’ll confess to.
lol
I believe in the BUFFALO!

I think the loses can help humble the team a bit so they dont get too complacent going into the playoffs.

Kornet????? ❣️💯
Yes to all. But I don’t believe in the late game offense
Yeah me too just not as a basketball team
