Chuck HAs Long Time Celtics Fan I’m Getting Turned Off By Their Punkish Behavior

(Stephen Jackson on Paul Pierce this week from WEEI’s Green Street )
It turned disrespectful when certain things were said,” Jackson said. “You can be emotional in the game and you talk to your teammates and do all that but when you get personal and direct certain things to people as far as their manhood, that’s when the problems come up. And I guarantee you that if I wasn’t in this gym, that wouldn’t have been said to me.”
(Joakim Noah on Kevin Garnett a while back from WEEI’s Green Street )
“I don’t care about him at all. I don’t care about him at all,” “He used to be my favorite player. Not my favorite player any more.”
“He’s a great player,” he said. “Now that I hear stories, I see how he is, not a big fan. “

(Story by Austin Burton in Dime magazine from game in Dec. vs. Spurs)
Last night, Perkins provided another example of why this Boston team is so easy to dislike.
Late in the fourth quarter, as the Spurs were trying to cut into Boston’s lead, Perkins was whistled for a foul on Tim Duncan. It wasn’t even that bad of a call, and you are playing in Duncan’s house, so what do you expect? But that didn’t stop Perk from getting bent out of shape. He yelled at the ref, then immediately made a beeline for the scorer’s table. When he got over there, he purposely knocked some papers off the table and sent them flying onto the court before resuming the game.

Let me state that I am a huge fan of the Boston Celtics. I’ve been a huge fan all my life. I also am a huge fan of the talents of KG, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen & Rajon Rondo. However, I can unequivocally say that if this team wasn’t wearing the Celtics uniform, I would hate them with a passion. They act like full blown punks on the court. I don’t need any of these blurbs above to confirm that they act like punks. I’m just giving you a few examples of what others are saying. I see it almost every time I watch them. Quite honestly, it’s turning me off as a fan of this team. Yes, other teams do it too, and don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a little trash talk. I love it, but the Celtics cross the line. They won one NBA Championship with this group and all of a sudden their shit doesn’t stink and they start acting like punks, 24/7? Win with some class. Lose with some class. It’s getting tired, fellas. It really is.
