more controversy = more posting
more posting = more $$$ for site, which is for profit
Personalities like Robert Smith seem to be obviously fake.
With that said, while it was a little off the wall to say that we were done after we lost game 2, I don't think it was ridiculous to raise concerns about the Celtics at all.
I mean, does anybody seriously think that Danny, Doc, Thibodeau, etc. just sail through the playoffs without worrying about the team, or raising concerns?
I don't.
Winning is about recognizing problems and making adjustments. Our defense sucked ass in game 2; you better believe that that message was pounded home to the players before game 3. But according to certain posters on the board, we as fans are not allowed to raise any problems with the team that we see.
What's stupid to me is that if anyone on this team criticizes something that they see with the team, an individual, etc., they are immediately branded as a hater, disloyal fan, etc. That's just ridiculous. The whole entire business of putting a winning franchise out on the floor is a process of constant evaluation of who you are putting out on the floor and the product that they produce together. Sometimes that evaluation is going to be negative. It doesn't mean that you hate the team.
I'm not happy with how we played against the Piston's trapping defense in the 4th quarter last night. Does that make me a hater, or do I have pretty much the same position that Danny and Doc have?
Anyway, here's hoping that we can really step on their throats with a game 4 win.
1. LOL the mods arent paid by real gm buddy, were not posting controversial stuff, theres a few hundred people who post on the celtics board here nothing we could do short of posting pictures of naked ladies would increase veiwership enough to actually increase advertising revanue for real gm.
2. Robert Smith is very real and his antics led him to be banned, several members of the board have IM conversations with him, and the reason I am writing this is he sent me an angry email about the post.
3. To my knowledge everyone who posts on this board is real (with the possible exception fo Mang, who is obvously a person but seems to play a role when posting on the board)but there are no mod created fake posters.
