Remember When...
I can't help but look back fondly to some old posts from the archives. If anyone finds more, let me know and I'll link to them here.
- Remember when all our hopes were piled into that flimsy basket called the NBA Lottery? Remember when we got a collective stomach punch? Yeah, not good times. But how did tht work out?
- Remember when we were all worried about trading Al Jefferson for KG? I hemmed and hawed and couldn't decide for weeks. Then I decided to say "forget it: I'm all in." (not that the team needed my permission, but I'm glad it worked out pretty much like I thought it would)
- Remember when the trade rumors seemed to float in and out of the news cycle, until that one day when I reluctantly posted this rumor. (This is why I can't remember exactly where I was when I found out KG was going to be a Celtic - there were several hours of "is it really happening?" before we got confirmation of the rumors - a great day)

So many people just wrote off the trade because we were losing Big Al. “Well, it looks like a done deal. My days as a Celtics fan are rapidly coming to a close. It has been fun for all these years, but it’s time to find a team that knows what it is doing.” It really shows how much we didn’t know about KG.

Human nature is to be fearful of change and I think many of our posts last year reflect that. I can honestly say that I cringe at a few of my previous posts….laugh and cringe, but cringe.
Hats off to Danny and his team for showing us all that change is to be embraced!!!

Great, Jeff, that you (we) have this history to refer to.
It’s fun to go back and read what everyone thought.
Truth is: we’re all just fans.
We’re not the people making decisions (some massive, some minor) which affect game outcomes and in turn, the season.
Instead, we offer our opinions on all things Celtics here, at the therapeutic celticsblog.com.
Thanks again for this site.
:D

It has been fun reading your comments the past few weeks, since I was made of aware of your posts by Kurt, when you posted at Forum Blue and Gold. Hats off to the Celtics for being the better team and taking home the trophy. I try and stir things up here a bit sometimes, but it is all in good fun and I appreciate that my posts have not been deleted. I hope to there is a Finals rematch just like 84 & 85!

wow those are amazing. I was the only one repeatedly pounding the table that it would work, the bench would be fine, we’d get free agents, Rondo, Perk and Baby would pan out, and Tony would contribute And I topped it off by telling folks they must be stoned if they can’t see it. And I predicted 41 wins at the break.
Funny that later some thought I didn’t love KG, because he was driving me crazy by not going to the hole on offense.
I am really woried we won’t sign Posey. If we can just almost match the offer. But I am worried he’ll feel that at this point he just has to take the more money where he can get it.

Hey I said TWENTY titles too. 4 in a row! Well I’ll take three. I think we can threepeat. LA sounds like they may do something stupid. If they think Bynum is the answer and they want to cough up Lamar, well, they may take a step back before they step forward again. As long as PP is as nearly good as the current PP, we don’t have to worry about Kobe: Paul owns him
