I have a pretty busy life. This blog is about the last thing on my have to do list. This is something I do for fun but when my busy life keeps getting interrupted by 12 year old bandwagon jumpers because they won’t stop stuffing my e-mail box with immature stupidity I guess I feel the need to write.
I didn’t write a blog when the Celtics were taken to game 7 by the worst team in the playoffs. (by their regular season record) I didn’t gloat when the one man team of Lebron James was a few badly missed ref calls away from taking out the Celtics in the second round of the playoffs. I also didn’t write a blog gloating and name calling when the Pistons beat the Celtics IN Boston or when they almost blew a 24 point lead to the Lakers in game 2. Didn’t write a blog when Paul Pierce threw a gang signal at a kid on the Hawks or when he shot 2 for 14 in another game. I could have but I didn’t.
So for all the bandwagon Celtics fans that couldn’t find the “Garden” before Kevin Garnett was traded to town. These are the word I have for you, GO AWAY.
Your e-mails threatening me and making stupid comments like “haha” are just plain stupid and a waste of my time.
Anyone that actually read this blog know full well why I will never root for the Celtics again. Winning and losing is the least of it. So Congrats, If Kobe doesn’t Schilling and Ortiz you the next three games and pull the biggest comeback in NBA history you will have your NBA title and I am beyond thrilled that you can live with the way it was done but I can’t.
You might not care that your GM lied through his teeth 100% of the time he has been here or that he torpedoed the 2003 Celtics in the middle of a playoff series but I do care. You might not care that your owner is a big mouthed idiot that call’s ex player names at award shows or that the word loyalty doesn’t exsist in this city anymore but as you know I do.
So enjoy your title. I hope the cost was worth your soul.

First off I am not a bandwagon jump I have followed the Celtics from the 80’s until now. I try to seperate sports from life and enjoy sports for what they are an escape. I try not to get envovled with the business side, that being said the Celtics are a business and finding loality in sports is rare ecsepically from the player’s side. Even my favorite team the Patriots run their team like a business they would be stupid not to. Lastly you did miss a heck of a season from the Celtics too bad you couldn’t enjoy it.

People sure get whiny when they are called bandwagon fans. Maybe guilt? Who knows.
Thanks for the comments mjf123

He’s entitled to stating the facts, mjf123. They’re 100% true. I do think that he should enjoy it.. but whatever. I’m a sophomore in high school. I do vaguely remember the 2003 season, and that is what made me a Celtics fan. That being said, I have no reason to hate Danny Ainge/whatever the name of the owner is, etc, because I don’t really remember. I am going to fully enjoy the Celtics being on top, as I have been waiting for it since 2003 when I became a rabid Celtics fan.
But I will say that you shouldn’t be calling people out who may or may not be bandwagon jumpers, FDA… I actually didn’t go to any games this year and I went to at least two the past few years… go figure. But, mjf, maybe you would gain a little more respect if you took the time to type properly (that being said, I probably made one or two grammatical errors in this comment).
After all, I don’t get evolved with the business side either and I am pretty sure finding loality in sports is impossible, although LOYALTY may happen (or not, but you get the point) and I may get INVOLVED with the business side.
Ugh… and you are the ones saying OUR generation is the “dumbed-down” generation. Why can’t the rest of us use our brains?
