Dzldoc Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Well my Hornets didn't make it so my back up team has. Should make for a good series. Don't know that it can match the Byrd/Magic era but nice to see a new round who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evermore Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Maybe I'll root for the Celtics. I haven't followed basketball since Kobe had Shaq tossed out of the Lakers years ago. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelectro59 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi all, Hi danelectro59. Why you being like that KB (Basketball Diaries) Because i'm not the only one who thinks that this was the matchup (Boston/LA) that everyone wanted, if you catch my drift. And besides, Doc Rivers is a crybaby and deserves a few technical fouls for it. Like I said, I hope the Lakers sweep, even though i'm no Kobe fan. Ain't nothing gonna bring back Magic and Bird.

The Rover Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Well my Hornets didn't make it so my back up team has. Should make for a good series. Don't know that it can match the Byrd/Magic era but nice to see a new round who knows? My Mavericks didn't make it either..... And my Backup team will also be .... The Boston Celtics. I have a soft spot for Celtics Basketball. There's no love lost for the Lakers, the Pistons, or the Spurs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Now and Zen Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 The Celtics suck! Hope the Lakers kick their asses!! One mad Pistons fan. Well certainly the Lakers beat the better teams to get here. Boston had trouble with Cleveland. The only reason this might be a series is that Boston has home court advantage. I still think the Lakers will beat them in the end.

Mattmc1973 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 One of the most traumatic moments of my adolescence occurred in June 1987, my Pistons just could not seem to get over the hump and beat the Celtics, and this was particularly devastating... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43DrapEn5QA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb Derigable Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I will be actively rooting against the Celtics this year, due to the fact they sucked last year (earn your keep) and since they claim that they were going to win 70 games this year. Granted, i don't feel like hearing that Kobe is a better player than Jordan for the next few years. but the celtics should not be the champions when you have to play a game 7 against ATL, the 8th seed.

They s***ed for alot of years,.... Then -*if*- we take the LA in 7,would that be a problem? KB No, i always root for a good game or series over a favorite. I didn't like how Boston got KG. somthing smelled fishy when 5 teams had a better trade offer on the table and an ex celtic pulled the deal from the tiberwolves side. It would be like if Derek Jeter became the GM for the red sox and traded dice-k, beckett, and papalbon for a bag of chips and Jason giambi.

Danny Anige.So why did the Tmiberwolves,allow the trade to happen?Since KG,pulled that team along for 9+ years?Blame the NBA(or insert MLB,NHL,NFL,etc,here)for letting it happen, a league allow this stuff to happen.Rules and by-laws and such,...) MLB:Jeter will remain a Yankee for the rest of his career,good guy,great ball player,class act. Go ask the owner of the Timberwolves,why he pulled the trigger,.... KB,...

Most people were calling for the Lakers to sweep, and the Pistons went to LA and took game 1. And in game 6 they were up 3 with a minute to go, I could just taste the championship. And the Lakers came back and won that game, and then took game 7. Another devastating experience. It was a multi-year stairstep...being devastated by the Celtics in '87, the Lakers in '88, then finally winning the title in '89. But at that age, being in my early teens, it just seemed to take FOREVER to get there and over that hump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bong-Man Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hey, you know all those people that were dying for this rematch ? We'll be watching this about as close as fans in LA & Boston would watch a Spurs - Pistons Final, and that's not even taking in consideration West Coast start times. SNOOOOOZE !
