It won't matter cause Washington and Boston won't meet. We are the elite, and you are the posers. You won't beat Cleveland first round (assuming that is who you will face).

It seems that Boston has difficulty with athletic teams, but given the chance to face them in a 7 game series, the Celts would prepare better for it. But again, it's all moot cause you will be dismissed far before you'll have to face the best team in basketball in a series.

ps- you were only up by 2 at half. Don't underestimate the importance of Rondo.

Wow Jsarno you really are boasting a little prematurely, don't you think? I mean, they are good but give the Wizards props. They have Boston's number.

Anyway, funny story from last night. I was coming from the Nationals game which let out about the same time as the Wizards/Celtics.

So we get to the Metro stop where the Wizards crowd and the Nationals crowd converged on the same platform. People are everywhere, right! You know folks are kind of chatting among themselves in a normal kind of way, but you could tell everyone had been drinking. So this drunk ass Wizards fan starts yelling from the over pass (we're under ground, but he's overlooking the crowd) "All Celtics suck! No Celtics fans allowed on the train!" Folks just erupted and started cheering the guy. I swear I thought the cops were gonna haul his ass away.

I did.

Congrats on the win.

Sorry though, I am not going to sit here and think that the Wizards are better when the Celts are 21 games better. That's a HUGE difference.
The only teams I will worry about are Detroit and who makes it out of the west.

There are always those kinds of losers in any collection of fans. Funny if you are a fan, but none the less an issue if an opposing fan was within the area and was just as drunk.

I said SERIES, not a collection of games over the course of the season. When you have a SERIES, then you prepare for that opponant in a much different way.
Also, you have 4 games left and are 2 games behind the Cavs. You are facing a few tough teams...Detroit, Phily, and Orlando. (you should beat Indiana without any issues)
So what you're saying is the 21 games the Celts are above the Wizards don't mean anything cause the Wizards are better?
Maybe it is you that needs to check the standings and give the Celts a little credit.

Damn Js, you are starting to act like 8588 does with hockey and my hatred for the Celts is increasing exponentially. All SS did was post about a Wiz win and you are just trash talking to create a stir.

HAHAHA...the thread was dead and SS makes a "random" post about how the Celts lost to the Wizards and you think I am the one trying to cause a stir????? Amazing.
Congrats SS, you somehow make others look the other way when you make an instigating post.
I didn't have anything against the wizards until this thread. I'm all for being a fan, but come on.

I still find this to be quite astonishing.
Last post on this thread was on 3/25.
15 days later on 4/9 SS writes this "Wizards beat the Celtics 109-95 on Wednesday night, 3rd straight win over the Celtics".
And I'm the one causing a stir?????


ps- you are only 5-4 in the span of 3/25-4/9. The Celts are 7-1 in that same span.

[hooskins]

Ok now you are being way too literal. If anything SS is preventing an extra thread about a Wiz win to be created, so he posted the win in a related thread about the Wizards.

This kind of practice happens, and is encouraged for all threads to make less clutter on this site. You and I both know this.

Credit goes to the Celts either way. I don't think any Pats fans needed credit last season to know they were one of the best due to the record. Celtics gain that respect de facto based on record. The point is the Wiz have their number.

You are right...right now, they do have their number. I don't expect that to continue when the playoffs start though.

However, don't think SS wasn't poking a little jab at me and the Celts. He was. It's all good though, that makes these kinds of threads fun. Now if only everyone could take these little pokes better...say maybe about Stewart or something????

[hooskins]

So you suggest he create a new thread about the win?? Come on Js, the point is not to encourage creating new threads.

Why should you post any comment at all about the win???? It's not thread worthy at all. You didn't move up or down. Like I pointed out, you're 5-4 in that span, if you don't want to see the actual instigation behind it, that's your choice. Why not mention the other 4 wins? Why not mention that the Wizards are only 5-6, .455 with Arenas in the lineup this year? Which means they are 36-31, .537 without him.
Or is it more likely the last few posts in this thread before SS's post were about the Celts and therefore SS's post?

My main point of bringing up the game was actually to talk about Gil's shoes. I was going to start a new thread about how he was rockin' his Redskins shoes but then it just made more sense to continue this thread because of the tie-in with the Celtics and how this thread left off with Celtics/Wizards discussion.

I'm not ignorant (1310 SAT, MBA Marketing Management, 3.72 GPA ) I realize that the Celtics are the cream of the crop for the Eastern Conference regular season and that ultimately all this did for the Wizards was give their top 3 stars a rare chance to play together this year and do so very effectively against a strong team. I also know that the Celtics' top three players have a bit of a stigma attached to them as to their ability to be successful in the postseason. So we shall see.

I didn't start that post to instigate anyone or anything

I still think the guy at the Metro was funny.

Nice GPA, I could only muster a 3.5. We had a similar SAT, although you got me by 20.

You didn't make a comment about the Celts with even the slightest thought that I, or any Celts fan, would comment on it? Come on SS...

To paraphrase my sig...you're so vain, you probably think my posts are about you

[SmootSmack]

Seriously though, in retrospect I'm not surprised you commented on it. But when I posted I didn't do it thinking you would or trying to get you to

Hmmm, I seem to recall someone overreacting about a stewart thread and it wasn't meant to attack at all. You even gave me a negative rating for it even though it wasn't mean at all. You just took it personally. Interesting word...vain.

You can say what you want, and quite frankly, I expected you to lie about it. Not sure why you would admit you were trying to rib someone, but if you had the guts you'd admit it.
Oh well...you did exactly what I expected you to do. Just can't figure out why it matters to you though. I think it's all out of fun. It gets people to post here, and isn't that the point? I'm not saying you were wrong for doing so, but I know your intent, and you know your intent even if you don't admit it. Don't mistake my posts as anger. I find most of these posts laughable.

[SmootSmack]

The Stewart post was an entirely different situation which we already discussed through PM, and that should stay there.

If you think I'm lying about this thread, that's fine. No skin off my back.
