Comments from the Other Side - Mavericks 3/6/26

  What a fun game, having Jayson Tatum back on the court.  I love it when they are surprised by Payton Pritchard being so tenacious on the boards.  The fan wanting to give Boston back to England cracked me up.  Yet another fanbase not happy with their coach.  And i laughed out loud at the description of Joe Mazzulla as a racoon with rabies.  Too funny.  They were all excited about Flagg coming back after 8 weeks from a foot sprain but thought the Celtics over...

Comments from the Other Side - Hornets - 3/4/26

 The Celtics looked like they were the team that got in late and were playing back to back.  No energy, no defense, and couldn't hit their shots.   Hopefully it was just an off game where they underestimated their opponent.  Hornets fans haven't had a lot to cheer about over the years so can't hate them for being excited about their team playing well.  I'm surprised by all the complements for the Celtics announcers.  The comment about the lemon pepper wing co...

Comments from the Other Side - Bucks 3/2/26

 Celtics playing 5th game in 7 nights without 2 starters and getting in at 3:30 am and with the Bucks at full strength after getting their star back. The Celtics had every reason to accept this as a schedule loss but they were amazing.   I'm not surprised to see all the Doc hate.  I never liked him after he made a comment about not wanting to work on defense. in practice.  I love how much Bucks fans envy the Celtics for having  Brad Stevens and Joe Mazzulla. ...

Comments from the Other Side - 76ers 3/1/26

  Always good to beat the Sixers.   I love how much they envy Celtics organization, front office and coach.  Them trading for the #1 pick and taking Fultz instead of Tatum pretty much says it all.  For all those years they tanked in the process, they don't have much to show for it.  It cracked me up when they called Scheierman balding because he probably has the most hair on the team.  And every fan base makes a big deal out of playing 4 white players.  ...

Comments from the Other Side - Nets 2/27/26

 Was a fun game from the Celtics point of view.  I feel for the Nets players.  They played hard and really tried.  They unfortunately ran into the buzz saw that was the Celtics after a bad loss.  Not a lot of Nets fans chatting,  I guess most of them have given up until the team is good again.  Hopefully we see the same Celtics against the 76ers on Sunday.  My favorites are in bold.  What are yours?    Let's keep tanking. We have lots of g...

Comments from the Other Side - Nuggets 2/25/26

 This loss was a confluence of playing at altitude in the 3rd game in 4 nights and back to back games along with it being the final game of a road trip.  Can't be too upset.  Their shots were flat and they just didn't have enough in the tank to beat the Nuggets.  For all their complaints about Jokic, he had 30 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists.  They don't deserve him.   Once again I love how many Celtics fans that were there.   My favorites are in ...

 The Celtics didn't play all that well for much of the game but they upped their defense in the second half and pulled it out.  It never ceases to amaze me how quickly fans turn against their own team and players.  Another fan base that doesn't like their coach.  Once again,  I love how many Celtics fans there are in arenas on the road.   The comment about it being all Celtics free throws when they had only taken 8 at the time.  Sometimes I think fans do...
