Comments from the Other Side - Hawks 3/31/26

 Chalk this one up to missing 2 starters and playing back to back on the road.  Although, Jaylen Brown seemed to be trying too hard and too often drove into a crowd of defenders instead of passing out.  He had good numbers but wasn't efficient at all.   So many of the Celtics shots were short. Tired legs.  On to the next.  My favorites are in bold.  What are yours?   Tatum out. Brown available. Calling a hawks win. This will be a W Gonna bet th...

Comments from the Other Side - Hornets 3/29/26

 Great game!  It seems like Celtics play better when players are missing and they are the underdog.  I loved seeing Tatum getting back to his old self.  Also love when there are lots of Celtics fans on the road.  The guy who wishes Achilles tears on the Tatum needs some counseling.  Not good.  I agree that the Celtics don't have bandwagon fans but not for their reasons.  Most Celtics fans that I know and have met have been fans for many many years. ...

 Fun game.  Especially watching Payton Pritchard go off.  How can you not love the guy? I love how he comes out of the trees with rebounds.  I'm so glad he's a Celtic. Their descriptions of Baylor Scheierman cracked me up.  Thunder fans had a couple of funny descriptions of him also.  It cracks me up that everybody thinks the Celtics get so much help from the refs.  If they did, they wouldn't be last in the league in free throws attempted. My favorites are in...

 Boy oh boy do Thunder fans hate Jaylen Brown.  He's public enemy #1in OKC.  I guess it's because he poses a threat to Shai for MVP and also because he said what everyone who watches or plays in the NBA was thinking about Shai being a free throw merchant.  I love how puffed up they were in the beginning and how they were trashing their own team by the end.  Interesting that at least a couple OKC fans like our announcers.  My favorites are in bold.  What are y...

Comments from the Other Side - Timberwolves 3/22/26

This was a disappointing loss.  The Celtics just allowed the Wolves to play more physical and harder and better defense than them.  I love how Wolves fans were wanting the Celtics players and coach in the beginning and hating on their own players and team.  Then, at the end  they are loving their players and coach.  Next game they will hate them all again.  Hopefully the Celtics can find their defense and energy for the next game.  My favorites are in bold.&n...

Comments from the Other Side - Grizzlies 3/20/26

  This one had me worried for much of the game.  The Celtics were sleep walking for much of it.  Not hitting shots and not giving normal effort on defense.  Glad they finally woke up in the 4th. There weren't a lot of Grizzlies fans chatting in the forums for this one.  Seems like most have given up on the season.   I always love it when there are a lot of Celtics fans in away arenas.  Funny how some fans loved the halftime show and others thought it cri...
