I’m a big Celtics fan. Have been for years. But, I see people saying they HAAAATE the Celtics. Why? I’m genuinely curious. No thugs on the team. Seem to play as a team together. They haven’t been winning championships, so it’s not like you’d be sick of them winning. Why the hate?

I don’t care about the Celtics one way or the other, but I suspect it is either due to rivalries from 1979 to 1992 or the KG/Pierce teams.

I can’t imagine anyone hates Ray Allen and I don’t think many people hate Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown (and certainly not Jrue on this board).

Their stars have no aura/ are unlikeable and 90% of their fanbase is made up of 5ft 5 liberal alcoholics. The style of basketball they play is also pretty unwatchable in terms of them playing math instead of basketball.

They have maybe 2 likable players on the current team. Jrue Holiday and Payton Pritchard.

I don’t hate them at all, I just think they are overrated.

I don't hate the Celtics themselves. Just Boston sports fans in general.

They also are incredibly racist. Shocking, I know.

Why do you like them? Lots of bandwagoners. Case in point, you're from the South, yet you cheer for the Celtics. Celtics and the Fakers. I live in Kentucky and I know multiple Celtics fans who could not find Boston on a map.

Loved the Celtics since childhood. Used to be called Larry Bird on the neighborhood courts and not just because I was the only white guy out there. Pelicans come first

No hate here. Especially with Jrue on the team.

Fakers on the other hand....

Because I have been a Sixers fan my entire life and I grew up in and still live in New England.

At least they don't have a local team they should be supporting.

I don't hate them, usually I just prefer the other team they are playing. Plus when it gets to this point , I will pull for teams that have never won a championship or best match up

I wanted the Pacers to win but if haliburton is out then I want the Celtics to win
