After watching the Celtics fall to 0-3 on the season, I tweeted what I thought was a straightforward and fairly innocuous post Sunday evening. “It’s not time to panic, but it is time to officially be concerned about the Celtics.” Pretty tame, right? Not quite. The responses were civil (a rarity on X these days), […]

So much complaining about the officials and how they favor the Celtics. The refs have a funny way of favoring the Celtics by giving Detroit 36 free throws to 24 for the Celtics. If every Celtic gave the effort of Payton Pritchard on the boards, the Celtics would be a lot better. Shortest guy on the court led the team in rebounds. On to New Orleans and hopefully a win. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? This needs to be a win. Home opener, ...
