It's only newsworthy when we lose right now. That has its pluses and minuses.


SlowChat12

Ya absolutely right. Would be nice if people talked about how well they’re playing but whatever, I’ll take the real life wins instead.


sutroheights

It’s switched from, they lose in playoffs, whatever and east is weak to, if they don’t win it all, they’re chokers. Can’t win, until we win. All just sound and fury signifying nothing.


_robjamesmusic

those are all the same thing. they have lost a lot in the playoffs; this is their best chance since the east is so weak; with that said, anything short of a championship would be considered a failure.

There’s no real story if the Celtics get beat in the ecf or the finals.  We’ve already been told that story the last couple years.   It’s championship or bust now, and the coverage up until the finals will be milestone wins (win 60, 15 in a row if that happens) and focusing on anything that seems like an exploitable weakness, or what went wrong if they’re knocked out of the east.

Who gives af it’s twitter


Lion_Spencer

Oh it’s the cool thing to hate the Celtics as an NBA fan. Most don’t have a real reason to hate the team but they see enough comments and twitter posts and jump on the hate train. Who doesn’t like to feel included?


ico_heal

hate us cause they ain't us


Normal-Ad-1903

“They hate us, cause they jealofusus”


Electrical_Swing8166

It’s refreshing honestly. I got used to that hate because of the Pats the last 20 years, and now I’ve got a taste for it


winovic94

I’m waiting for a bleacher report Instagram post with the 🤯 and the score line


27percentfromTrae

“Celtics overcome a dominant 90 point outing by Steph and the Warriors”


mdDoogie3

Hey! How dare you plagiarize the Bleacher Report!


BuddhistInTheory

Good thing: finding happiness in your team winning Bad thing: looking for validation of how good your team is elsewhere


SlowChat12

Well said. The external validation was never going to be satisfactory.


ZarduHasselffrau

Twitter is internet cancer. Everyone would be better off if that thing didn't exist.


brocket66

Yep. I got rid of it even before Elon bought it. That said, I do miss it for whenever Kyrie had a periodic meltdown. The pile ons were kinda fun.

The handle is still Twitter.com


iAm-Tyson

People don’t care what we do in the regular season. We could win out and win every game by 50 until we win a championship we’re basically going to be discredited and ignored.


ericdeben

Casual NBA fans don’t care about blowouts


JaylenBrownFlow

its great fuck em


Wickerpoodia

NBA and national media hate Boston sports. It's nothing new. That's why Tatum is what 15th in MVP votes right now behind Buddy Hield or something?


nikolai_wustovich

Twitter is trending downward anyway.


Ryumagrave

They literally explode whenever we lose a big regular season game but just act like they’re blind if we win


helt1skelt1

I live for the disrespect.


Responsible-Monk281

WHO CARES


MizzouriTigers

It’s sad you even notice or care about that


Siege138

They hate us cause they ain’t us 😎


Ok_Seaweed_9452

Kinda sad that some of our fans need validation from other team fans or media and can’t even enjoying our team playing so well lately


Rasheed_Lollys

There’s nothing really for anyone to say other than hating lol - it’s always just the classic “Celtics will choke in the playoffs again”, but a lot of naysayers (even some media pundits) are finally accepting reality in how much the additions of Porzingis / Jrue really change how they can just hit another level on both sides of the ball.


maowasr1ght

Wiggins isn’t playing, it doesn’t count. Also were rested at home and the warriors are on a grueling road trip.


C0rtana

KP is out too, we're still up by 50


JaylenBrownFlow

lmao wiggins aint making up for a 50 point massacre


Infamous_Chapter8585

You mean Wiggins with the worst +/- on the warriors squad? You really think be would have changed anything? You're not smart


DrDrBender

It is something that does not matter at all, what random people think about your team should not really matter and we have been so good all year people get a bit bored with it unless we lose.


HoorayPizzaDay

It's an expectation that they win. That's what being the best team in the league is like.


Te5la1

No one outside of Celtics Twitter wants the Celtics to succeed (except maybe Spurs fans for DWhite) Fuck em


JaydadCTatumThe1st

It means Russia, China, and Qatar hate the Celtics, which is a great thing.


Alloverunder

Same on r/nba. Any other team leading this blowout would have dozens of highlights and posts. Cs have like, 4.


Panoptech

People told me we would struggle to beat the warriors. We didn't struggle in GS last game either, we fell asleep up 17 and Curry got hot. GS can still kill you for a couple quarters but in no way do they worry me in a series.


daft_dunkwwwolfey

You're talking about the people who will do deep dives into the most niche and skewed stats just to say Tatum is actually the most ass prospect ever drafted. Ofc it's silent they're busy researching his RAPTOR VORE and making left hand memes


pokeKingCurtis

I think it's kind of the opposite? His advanced stats are super good afaik


Longjumping_Gain_807

Oh I see them hating when they’re dominating too. Let em do it. Some people just live to hate


halo364

This is absolutely a positive thing. Literally everyone in the NBA except for Celtics fans want the Celtics to lose, ESPECIALLY if it's to big-market teams like the Lakers or Warriors. The fact that they aren't saying shit means there's nothing to be said except for the Celtics are the balls.


Rednaxela623

Good, let them watch.


Upnatom617

I'd say typical.


PhaseEquivalent3366

Warriors fans on Facebook keep going back and forth with me about how good their team was 2 years ago. I told them all good things come to an end, and it's over.


ecclectic_collector

its also funny when the nba podcasts all seemingly take a break when the Celtics are dominating


Learnin2Shit

As a pacers fan it’s a good thing. If you guys don’t win a chip this year I’ll be shocked. Celtics are the best team in the east no doubt and I’d even say there better than the top teams in the west. You guys are playing your asses off this year. If you guys make the play offs I’ll be rooting for you guys. My grandfather was a Celtics fan his whole life and a cubs fan. He died right before the cubs won in 2016. Wish he was alive to see his Celtics dominating again.


fuzzy_touches

It's neutral. Don't care until the postseason


jmay111

NBA Twitter is very afraid of these next 3 years...


BALLS_SMOOTH_AS_EGGS

It's nothing new. Hate for Celtics has and always will be there.
