Comments from the Other Side - Lakers 2/22/26

 It's always good to beat the Lakers.  I love how Lakers fans went from superstar Reaves to trash Reaves.  Love all the envy of Mazzulla, Brad Stevens and Pritchard.  I'm not surprised by their LeBron hate.  If they win next game though they'll be back to being cocky and overrating everyone on their team.  Poor Jaylen will never live down the hair incident.  I love it when Celtics fans show up in mass on the road.  My favorites are in bold.  What ar...

Comments from the Other Side - Warriors 2/19/26

 Fun game to start the stretch run.  I don't care for Steve Kerr and I'm surprised to see that most Warriors fans agree.   Also interesting to see how much they dislike Draymond but then again,  they seem to hate most of their players while coveting Celtics players and coach.  I'm used to seeing a lot of hate for Celtics announcers but it would seem that the Warriors hate their own announcers.  The comment about sitting Draymond until Steph comes back and com...

Comments from the Other Side - Bulls 2/11/26

 I feel for Bulls fans.  Celtics are so lucky to have Brad and Joe at the top.  I get that having a bad record is good to get a lottery pick but tanking just feels wrong to me.  I'm so glad that the Celtics didn't buy into that "gap year" talk before the season.   The comment about Reinsdorf keeping the team mid so he doesn't call attention to himself cracked me up.  I like what I have seen from Vuc so far.    My favorites are in bold.  What ar...

Comments from the Other Side - Knicks 2/8/26

 I was contemplating not posting these today but figured I might as well since I already spent the time to gather them. Knicks fans are among the worst.  The Celtics missed so many open 3's.  7 of 41.is terrible and if the Celtics shot their normal percentage,  they would have won.  With Sam Hauser out and no one on the team able to hit a 3 while bombing away from the outside, they didn't have a chance and with their shots not falling, they also struggled on defense.&n...

Comments from the Other Side - Heat 2/6/26

Heat fans are pretty funny.  They are yet another team that hates their coach, front office and players.  Although when they were up 20, some of them got a little puffed up while some were already expecting the 3rd quarter collapse.   Comparing Pritchard to a potato made me laugh.  And the last comment cracked me up.  Surprising to me how much they dislike Spoelstra.  Not surprising that they dislike Pat Riley.  My favorites are in bold.  What are y...
