[...] As for the Cavs, yes, they’ll almost certainly beat Boston if the C’s advance. But a spot in the conference finals, for a team suddenly this thin, would be a special accomplishment. [...]

@Yo: Last night’s game was exactly what I was talking about in this post. That’s a game we’ll all remember.

Yes, they are enough for me.

I like this team as much or more then last years team. Im getting moral victories over rondo, perk, and BBDs improvement, the way they played all season and the heart they exude makes me proud and very happy.

I think its annoying ‘oh no this is the celtics, we are holier then though, and if it isnt a championship it isnnt good enough’

Bull crap. this is one of the better celtics teams in 20 years, and its been moral victory for me just to watch them all year

i’m not saying at any case that i’m not proud of the team. i’m talking about the happinness of victory not about proudness!!!! I’ve got nothing to regret to the players if WE don’t win.

Where are you from xete?

Hi all, especially from gorgeous Spain, where I had the pleasure of spending a couple of weeks in 2006.

I decided not to use the ‘87 comparison because of that team came within two games (and a few breaks) of winning the title–meaning, despite everything, they had a real chance at it. I don’t think this team does. But I see the comparison.

And, Jeff–I’m glad you’re not as grouchy as you seemed yesterday!

Another Celtic fan from Spain here, though I don´t completely agree with my comrade. I was feeling extremely proud even as I was watching our guys lose, because seeing a group of players refuse to quit is one of those things that makes you feel something special for a team.
There was a recent article by Bill Simmons that drew a comparison with the 86-87 Celtics and how they kept playing despite missing Walton, and McHale´s broken foot, and Larry playing 44 minutes per game… As Zach said, you can´t control injuries, and therefore, we can´t demand a championship, or a conference title. But go down putting up a fight? That´s exactly what they´re doing.

Last year championship made me happy, but thi year…hell, this year i feel frickin´proud
