    The Celtics need to maxim ize their advantages. Rebounding, Defense, and a free flowing attack. The Lakers aren't the only ones who like to pass the ball a lot.

    Celtics in 6.

    I'm wearing my green Red Sox 2007 Spring Training Opening Day hat and it looks great.

    Go Green and Gold put the ball in the goal! Woo-hoo!

    Did I just sound like a chic who stumbled upon a sports thread, or what?

    Seriously, I'm not sure who I might start rooting for as this series progresses. I almost always side with the underdog, so maybe I'll cheer for whoever loses tonight...

    Green and Gold covers both your bases.

    Seriously, go with the Lakers. There are enough band wagon fans following Boston teams right now.

    Right. Exactly.

    Damn, this home court thing is killing me. If the Lakers had home court, it would be all but over. As it is, this will be a very tough championship. Go Lakers!

    I still think the LA fans are too cocky. The Celtics dominated the West this year. Including getting wins out west while teams were making a playoff push.

    This thing goes at least 6 and I think teh Celtics shock the bandwagon laker fans.

    It pisses me off when people call me a bandwagon jumper, or a fairweather Celtics fan... not that any of you have, but it has happened.

    I got into basketball in 1992, and have been a Celtics fan ever since. I missed the Larry Bird era, but have seen enough since to feel like i was there.

    I have a crapload of Celtics stuff, from jerseys (2) to shorts, to caps (3), to warm up tops, shirts (4)...

    I have an old Boston Garden model, Celtics beer holder, beer mugs, beer glasses, mouse pad, etc...

    Last Christmas i got the DVD box set, the complete Boston Celtics History..

    I did a report back in High School on 'The Ghosts of Celtics Past' with full pages on all the greats, Russell, Cousy, Havlicek, both Jones boys, KC and Sam, Sharman, Dave Cowens, Tommy H, DJ, Bird, McHale, Parish, Ainge...

    This has been a rough 16 years. I remember when Paul Pierce and 'Toine brought the C's back from 21 down (at 3/4 time) against the Nets in the playoffs a few years back, i was in Australia watching it, and thought they were done.... That's been about the only highlight... until now.

    Until now. Been waiting for this a looong time, and it's here. And i love it.

    I'm going to be at a Sports bar in Burbank from about 3pm onwards, dressed from head to toe in Green.... can't wait!!

    Real fans on either side see that this is not going to be an easy series. That's what is exciting about it.

    Why would anyone call you a bandwagon fan? A bandwagon fan is nothing like you. I am the same way for the Lakers. Both franchises are great with great fans. Very different but both great franchises with great tradition.

    The Red Sox have lots of band wagon fans, in my opinion.

    That is correct. There are so many factors weighing in on this series. It's going to be tough, that much i know. Living out here though, Lakers fans are just obnoxious. I always go out of my way to point out the things they don't like to hear. I openly cheered for the Nuggets, Jazz and Spurs, just to piss them off.

    Cheers. And maybe i've only seen a select group of Lakers fans, but they're obnoxious. Every second person is wearing a #24 Bryant jersey, and i feel like asking them what Kobe's old number was. Wouldn't suprise me if half of them didn't know he had an old number.

    What pissed me off even more, 2 yrs ago i had an 8 game package for the Clippers, and it included 2 home games against the Lakers. Don't get me wrong, i don't like Kobe, at all, but he's a magical player, and i can tell my kids i saw him play. Only, all the Clippers 'fans' were booing him at the start of both games, and then when he's got 30 by half time, they're chanting his name like he's a god.... I was shaking my head, thinking 'Really'? Are you that shallow? I mean, there's a difference between appreciating good basketball from your opponent, and jumping on their bandwagon when they win.

    This was the same year the Clippers had a better record and went further in the playoffs. Clipper fans are fairweather too if you ask me.

    Yeah, every team has its obnoxious fans. I get more pissed off when they show fans on tv than at the actual game. They just showed some old Lakers-Celtics games on ESPN Classic, and man those Celtics fans from the 80's were out of control Dennis Johnson practically killed James Worthy on a clothes line foul, and when Worthy got in DJ's face, the crowd, not surprisingly, went after Worthy. It got my blood boiling again watching it 21 years later.

    Of course, I knew how the game ended up, so it was all OK in the end.

    Ah, well those are CLIPPERS fans, my friend. A whole different animal. Clippers fans are like Angels fans or Padres fans. Biggest bandwagoners to exist under the sun.

    Yeah, the Kobe 24 jersey. I guess the thing about it though is the new number represents a mature Kobe. I don't have one, but I guess I can see why most people would have the new ones. Do they even sell the 8 anymore?

    That baby hook is etched in my head forever. They showed it last night on ESPN Classic. Only this time, my nerves were calm as hell.
