I know. The Celts obv had a much longer bad streak, but I'm just saying in general, fans tend to demand change from bad teams. You can't blame them. There's no sense in supporting a poor team when change needs to be made. If people did, a team would never get better. If those people weren't calling for Ainge's job (due to poor seasons), then the pressure wouldn't have been on him to make moves for Allen and Garnett.

I think it's just part of sports, and you can't really blame some fans for being "fairweathers". The Celts have always had a fanbase, it just obviously rallies for winning seasons.

Also, I don't doubt you stuck behind Kobe and the crew. I'm just saying a good amount of fans turned on him. That's just how it is everywhere.
