Apologies for saying everybody, in that case. Fair enough. I'm with Pud. I can't speak for Croc or Doc but i'm guessing sense they havn't been posting they don't care. KY is the only person here who seems excited . This is bull shit Drew just another example of. It's all about the money nothing else. Looked up the price of a starter Bentley. 350k Add 100 k for gas and a driver and 50k for the strippers and it's all gone.. Excited may be too a strong word to describe how I feel about it. I thought I gave 0 shitz. Now I realize I care more than I thought, but not all the way up to "excited".

Admin made a thread about it. I care more than I thought I would (but still not a ton). KY said he's where I am. My buddy Erik texted me about it. The team strategized by hacking Drummond to move on. So someone internal cares.
Not saying it isnt all about money (what isnt?). Not saying its a big deal. Just saying that more craps are given than I thought. Lets say on a scale from 1-10 craps, I thought the fans/team/Celtics-nation (forgive the douchey phrase)....I thought we'd be at a 2, and we're at like a 4.5.
Of course you and Pud are correct that if we dont win the title, the reg season tourney will not offer any consolation. The real tournament is the playoffs. This is just for funsies and maybe a barometer, but if youre in it, may as well try to win in it*
*within reason. E.G. Dont force Porz back early to play in these overly glorified reg season games.

Even this:
A: Team loses in NBA Finals, doesnt win reg season tourney
B: Team loses in eastern conference finals, wins reg season tourney.
If had to choose between these 2, Im takin A. Going 1 round further in playoffs more to me than this whole tourney.
(Winning NBA championship as an option intentionally omitted because obviously thats by far most important, and I wanted to give 2 reasonably close options to pinpoint exactly how I feel about it)

Perhaps there is a word that more accurately describes how you feel about an in-season tourney whose sole purpose is to gin up fan excitement where there is little to none.
Perhaps it begins with the letter "a"....

Doesn't a crybaby getting sonned by his daddy bring your eyes joyful tears? Every single time? I think the answer is clear.
