Celtics Fans are Extremely Confident

I guess this is what happens when your squad has 17 title banners hanging in the rafters (via MLive): “CelticsBlog and OptionIt are happy to announce a that we’ll be giving away 2 tickets to see the Celtics in the 2010 Finals.  (2 Reserved Corner Lower Level Loge Seats – 1st Home Finals Game the Celtics Host)  In the unlikely event that the Celtics do not make the Finals (you heard me Cavs and Magic fans), we’ll provide the winner with opening day tickets for next season.”

  • Wayno Posted: Jan.7 at 10:56 am

    Frick. There goes our title shot. F*ckin jinx.

  • Anton Posted: Jan.7 at 1:02 pm
    Didn’t the raise a blank banner for their supposed next championship?
    Douchebags.

  • John D Posted: Jan.7 at 2:33 pm
    Yeah, in their practice gym, Anton. Big friggin deal. It’s a motivational tool.

    confidence baby… celtics + healthy KG = 09-10 champs…

  • J Dizzle Posted: Jan.7 at 4:09 pm
    I’m really doubting that this years Celtics squad will have make it that deep. Too many injuries and too old in general to make it all the way to the Finals. We’ll see though.

  • Jackie Moon Posted: Jan.7 at 5:14 pm
    That was a blank banner? I thought it was a white flag.

  • robb Posted: Jan.7 at 7:58 pm
    And extremely unlikable.

    why are there so many celtics haters and not laker haters? i seriously don’t understand. are there thaaat many people on the lakers bandwagon? the celtics had to give up something to acquire kg and ray. the lakers stole gasol. dosent that annoy more people? yeah i’m a nuggets fan so i’m neutral but surely the lakers are way more annoying than the celtics, who were pretty inspirational when they won their title.

    Good post jon.
    I hate the Lakers, everyone is like Kobe this, Kobe that, hell he has to put up big numbers everynight to win, gasol, odom, bynum and artest wouldn’t know what to do if something really bad happeded to Kobe (enough to keep him out of the game). Celtics all pitch in their roles to win games(why their super stars averages have dropped over their seasons in Boston) and are still managining to win games without some of thier superstars. Celtics all the way.

    Celts play a nice brand of ball ciculating around defense. Every athlete needs to feel motivated hell we all do. If the banner has these cats foamin @ the mouth like jimmy chipwood than so be it. Also very nice to know ur franchise has ur back.

  • thebig3 Posted: Jan.8 at 8:36 am
    Agreed. People forget that Jerry West practically gave the Gasol to the Lakers for free. One of the most bogus trades ever. Why hate the Celtics? Because a couple years ago they had some free cap space and signed the available all-stars? If your envious I understand, but hate? The Celtics play good basketball, and win games often because of their defense. Thats something that should be admired, not hated.

    I wouldn’t say that we’re “extremely” confident. With the multitude of injuries that have hit this year, The C’s remind me a lot of the ’07 and ’08 Miami Heat teams.

  • J Dizzle Posted: Jan.8 at 3:38 pm
    Yea Jon, people should hate the Lakers for taking Gasol. Who in their right mind takes advantage of opportunity? What a bunch of jerks. Not surprised a NUGGETS fan turned a Celtics post toward the Lakeshow. I know it’s hard not to make everything about the LAL, but come on now. Celtics are too fragile to make it to the Finals.

  • Celtic Knight Posted: Jan.8 at 6:12 pm
    @robb & J Dizzle, we’re back and ready to kick your Lakers asses in the Finals just like we did in 08′! As long as we are healthy just me it’ll happen or do ya’ll remember what the Truth said before the season started?

  • DannyB Posted: Jan.8 at 7:55 pm
    Yes, Jerry West handed Pau Gasol over to the Lakers for nothing. But let’s not forget that the C’s only got KG because McHale made the deal from Minnesota. The C’s deal was more fair because they did give up more in return, but it still wouldn’t have happened without that relationship. All’s fair in love and war.

  • BostonBaller Posted: Jan.8 at 9:28 pm
    I am not over confident but I am confident that we can beat anyone in a series (especially when healthy). Why wouldn’t Celtic fans be confident, we are playing pretty well despite all of the injuries. I love watching most of the teams in the L (Hi, my name is Baller and I’m a junky. lol) Now that My Crimson Tide has won the national Title I want more !!

  • James Posted: Jan.14 at 11:14 pm
    Don’t look now but the confident Celtics just got taken down by the lowly lacking in confidence Bulls.
