I had almost forgotten what it is like to celebrate a championship. It has been what, 12 years since the Stars won the Cup?

Yeah it was really hard to concentrate, especially after staying up so late and trying to cherish the moment. I'll be at the parade downtown on Thursday!

Have fun at the parade! I'd love to be there.

Anybody read Bill Simmons' article on the game?

I love this dude's articles even though he's a Boston sports fan.

My favorite quote from that article, "12:00 remaining, fourth quarter: Doris Burke interviews Erik Spoelstra, who says that Miami Lohan needs to show "mental stability." Good luck, Erik — we're about three timeouts away from ABC cutting to LeBron trying to eat a big red candle like Brick Tamland."

Love reading Bill Simmon's articles, especially his mailbag.

Awesome! Have fun! I went to the Stars parade when I used to work downtown.

Because it was a classic Good vs. Evil match up.

It's an awesome feeling, isn't it?

Yes. Man I wish the Rangers could have done it last October. It has been an awesome sports year.

12 years? nice.

now try going almost 3 decades

You could also try getting so close multiple times, even as close as getting two games away and never being able to pull it off.

Damn that Michael Jordan. I thought about it late last night, had it not been for MJ, I think the Jazz would've won titles.

and instead the Bulls owned the NBA for 6 titles in a span of 8 years.

I respect his efforts as a coach, but I am happy to say thank the lord there is no more Phil Jackson.

Lebron James is a perfect example of why I dont really give a fuck about professional sports....

I watch the Bears play during the football season, but thats really about it..
Hockey?? I didnt watch a game until playoff time...
Basketball?? I watched a total of 10 minutes of the finals, and MAYBE a total of 3-5 games all season...
Baseball?? I will watch a total of maybe 10-15 games all year...If that

These multi-million dollar thugs, pieces of shit, can go fuck themselves. Lebron says the rest of us can go back to our pathetic lives? Or however the fuck he put it. Whatever Lebron.

It is statements like this that make me happy to say I REFUSE to spend my money and go see a sporting event live.

could have been 8 or 9 straight.

would they have beaten Houston in 94/95?

Could they have repeated again in 99?

it's possible and would have been off the charts...sadly, we will never know.

I've thought about the Houston thing... would've been some good series.

As far as '99 goes, if they could've kept their core... they probably could've done it.

The Boston Celtics went 11–1 in the NBA Finals during thirteen seasons (1956–1957 to 1968–1969). The Boston Celtics won the NBA Finals 8 years in a row during the 1958–59 to 1965–66 NBA seasons.

You mean this chart?

At the end of the day, there is no hiding the fact that LeBron is a douchelord. His recent comments really solidified to me that his mindset is that he is better than others.

I wanted Dallas to win big time because I really admire Dirk's game... but a part of me was just as happy if not slightly more happy to see LeBron lose.

Bosh crying was pretty awesome too.

Just one of the many testaments as to why The Boston Celtics are one of the greatest franchises ever.

9 in a row would have been off that chart as your chart only goes to 8.

any way you slice it, what those 90's bulls did was amazing. as was the stone age Celtics accomplishments. :P

He never said pathetic. His point was that there are bigger issues than how the Miami Heat and he do in the playoffs. In other words the world keeps on turning whether they win or not. Dan Gilbert still gets to own an NBA franchise that we are supposed to feel bad for instead of going to jail. Our economy still sucks just as much today as it did yesterday, and the Heat losing isn't going to change that. Of course it's not easy to hear that from someone who spent 16 years of his life with no dad living in Akron, Ohio, then gets paid enough to buy a Lexus by the time he's done watching X-Men: First Class or something for the rest of his life. I thought Zirin's article really put his comments into perspective.

It wasn't the "tomorrow you guys go back to your regular lives" it was the "while me and mine get to go do what we want, when we want".
