Comments from the Other Side - 76ers Game 1 4/19/26

 Great way to open the playoffs!   I love all the coach and GM envy from the Sixers fans.  Funny how in the beginning they felt Maxey better than Tatum and Brown but by the end, they think he's trash and want him traded.  Even though there is no way they would have gotten Tatum,  they will always torture themselves about taking Fultz over Tatum.  The racist comments are really getting old.  There is no basis for them.  My favorites are in bold.&nbsp...

Comments from the Other Side - Magic 4/12/26

 That was such a fun game!!!  I love all the coach and GM envy from Magic fans.  Celtics fans truly are blessed with a great front office and a great coach.  It's hilarious how that one comment describes Doc.  The Celtics dodged a bullet when he left because he didn't want a rebuild.  I love how the Celtics don't go for all the re-run coaches but hired Brad and then Joe.  Cool that Walsh is getting a reputation for defense, even if they got his first name wro...

Comments from the Other Side - Pelicans 4/10/26

 It seems that most Pelicans fans have given up.  Very few comments in the game threads.  The ones who are still there are very disgruntled with their team and front office and, it would seem, Zion especially.   And, they don't even  have a lottery pick to look forward to.  The Celtics clinched the 2nd seed and that's quite an accomplishment in a gap year.  Orlando will still be fighting for seeding on Sunday and so that game will be interesting.  T...

Comments from the Other Side - Knicks 4/9/26

 Knicks fans really are among the worst.  I have no idea where they get that the Celtics are ugly.  Personally I think that the Celtics are among the better looking teams in the league.   It was pretty funny that they trashed Josh Hart throughout the game.  Every other comment was some kind of hate toward Hart.  Then after he hit those threes at the end, suddenly he is great.  I love when teams covet our coach and players.  My favorites are in bold....

Comments from the Other Side - Hornets 4/8/26

 Another good win for the Celtics.  The comment about Joe having them watch African Wild Dog hunting videos cracked me up.  Sounds about right 😂.  I'm happy for the fan just happy to be watching meaningful basketball.  Sometimes we lose sight of how lucky we are as Celtics fans to be able to watch them compete year after year, even in a "gap year".  I still remember the 22 years of futility between the 17th and 18th  championships.  But at least we had t...
