Celtics 2023 - 2024 Discussion

Then Felger is pushing the new narrative that if Brown wins Finals MVP it could be enough to push Tatum to leave the Celtics down the road.

So even if the Celtics are NBA champs that’s the party pooper topic they can talk about the very next day.

Luckily I live outside Massachusetts now so I'm not subjected to that.

I feel like if I did, I would resist listening to them? But who knows, the idea of wanting to listen to good sports talk is appealing so I would probably turn them on sometimes and then get pissed like you guys do

Yes! Actually I believe JT committed to play this summer. Of course player's always want to represent the USA in ball, but the toll it takes on a a player is immense.

I knew about Tatum. The US team is so deep at wing that he won't be playing big minutes and I prefer they keep him UNDER 20mpg but who knows. With Durant, Leonard and Lebron maybe his minutes will be down. However, Jrue Holiday is on the team and with Devin Booker and Haliburton not fully healthy I'd hate to see him get 30 mpg, with only Curry and AntMan being the other backcourt players.

Internet disagreements happen all the time. NBD.

Your point (a loss is a loss, the Pacers shouldn't be happy after getting swept) is a valid one even if I don't agree. The problem is you felt the need to show us all what a badass you are by berating your son and calling him a loser because he came in 2nd place.

Then you were upset that not only did you not get the support in "likes" that you seem to crave, but a few people actually called you out on it. Then came the insults, using big words like "bozo" and "knucklehead," as well as the homophobic comments.

It all shows who you are. It's sad you can't realize this on your own, but others see it.

Your posts and responses show you have a history of trying to bully people into submission when they don't see things your way. It works great on kids, not so much on adults. Deal with it.

This is my original post that you responded to when you started name calling. You were right when you said you run in circles.

My son lost a championship game in soccer and I told him that we had to go get the 2nd place trophy. My son said the coach told them to all go home because 2nd place is for losers. I said his coach was right and we drove home.

Stop being such a triggered little man just because I liked posts I agree with.

You wanna teach your son a real life lesson? It’s to avoid becoming a thin skinned internet weenie who is upset by ‘likes’. FFS get a grip.

Back to the Celtics now

If you are so thick skinned, why are you so upset? Too funny. You think everyone else is thin skinned while you are the one ranting and stomping your feet.

Back to the Celtics now.

I’m not upset, I’m simply replying to your angry ranting. Get over it.

Felger lol. Who the hell even listens to him?
He's always pushing asinine hawt takes but that one was off the chain

Show me any angry ranting of mine? You like to name call and label. Get over it.

Look back at your posts, I don’t need to hold your hand for it. But it’s starting to pollute the thread so I’m done with it.

Great. I agree it is polluting the thread. Glad you are done with it.

I give him credit.....hes staying relevant by talking out of his ass and making a good living doing so.

I’m in the minority but honestly don’t mind him that much. They are paid to give takes that will needle fans. Even though I recognize that it can still be grating because overall it is treated as the top sports talk show in the region.

Mazz is the one with the outlandish, idiotic takes. Nowadays Felger plays the “I’m just being fair” role with the Celtics. Mocking fans, raising annoying narratives while acknowledging the Celtics are the best team, have been for a few years and should win it all.

They‘ve certainly lived rent free in a lot of heads. I’ll give them that.

I agree. Felger is not that negative, but Mazz seems to talk before thinking. Either way they have stayed relevent, unlike the Big Show, and seem to keep listeners connected/calling in. I don't listen often so I could have missed some absurd takes.

Yep. I don't listen to them (or watch/listen any sports talk shows) but I can see how passionate sports fans are attracted to the bantering, arguing, BS theories and entertainment these guys put on.

Felger used to be a pretty decent Pats and Bruins beat-writer and Mazz for the Sox.

They used to be taken seriously. Now they can't and they know it.

Gotta be careful of Luka‘s foul baiting. Did they not make a rule about blatantly launching oneself into a defender to draw the foul? They didn’t seem to want to apply it to Luka in that spot.

I thought the same at first, but the replay showed the defender jumped forward into Luka's space.

Leonard is interesting.. he can't make it though a full season each yeah but somehow keeps getting extensions. He wasn't able to finish the season and now he's playing for team USA.. but to your point it's 40 minutes games right 10 minutes each period? 20 mag isn't too bad I guess for tatum

There’s still one more series to go. Plenty of opportunity for a bad moment in a big spot.

I think we should have started Hauser instead of JB in the Indy series. Hauser has a better +/- than JB.

Right now Hauser looks like he’s headed to psych ward.

Brown had a very good series. I still don’t think he’s a guy you want to build around if you’re only going to be able to max 1-2 players. If Wyc doesn’t care and is just going to sign everyone regardless, that does change the equation.

So if he's talking out of his ass that explains why we hear nothing but **** from him
