Why?

Apparently this forum is livelier when the Cs lose.

Should be a party if the Cs lose the next 10 games out of 12.

Doesn't really help when we're feeling the sting of a loss but I try to remember we've experienced that feeling less than any other fanbase this season.

But yeah, let's get this win and wash away our funk. Go C's!

My advice is enjoy what we have now because once the Jays are gone, it's back to that era of Avery Bradley and Jae Crowder starting for the Cs.

Being a Celtic suffices.
I survived the 90’s so JT turning into Rudy Gay once in a while beats having to watch Kevin Gamble averaging 11 ppg.
This saying, it’s time for a nice win.
Make their Sun bleed green!!

Okogie, Little, and Damion Lee are all OUT. Devin Booker is QUESTIONABLE for the Suns.

Just sit JT, JB, and KP.

Go for the trifecta so that the Cs will have their first 3-game losing streak of the season.

Judging by the fact they SUCK against the elites of the West, they will probably get their 3 game losing streak anyways..no need to sit anybody down.
A new dawn will rise in Boston. ‎#StayLoyal THANK YOU TRUTH!

Celtics magic number remains at... we need our best player to be an MVP-calibre player when it counts.

Doesn't matter.

Bruninho91 already proclaimed the Cs will lose this game.

Why waste 2hrs and 30mins of your life watching this game?

Board morale at an all-time low...if we lose a third, will we see a poster's only meeting?

You have it upside down.

It's when the Cs keep winning that we'll need a poster's only meeting because when the Cs win, only a few show up.

But when the Cs lose, postgame thread reaches more than 10 pages. :lol:

A 61-season clinches the East. 64 and it's #1 seed throughout the league. HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT IT, JAYSON TATUM?!

There is a difference between not being able to handle pressure and needing to have more consistency in having dominant performances against the best opposition when it matters most lol.

Pretty much every single NBA player handles pressure. JT has delivered a ton in his career and has shown he can perform under pressure. Only question left is playing at his highest level when it matters most consistently.

A loss here and I'm starting a "Did the fraudulent Celtics peak too early?" thread in the GB using my CrowderKeg account.
