FL, C2 and Bakhu more than earned TPs for expressing it better than I could do, even if I tried to write a fanpost about this subject.
Fakers may not be a cool nickname, but claiming for Minny Lakers titles while not recognizing Mikan, Mikkelsen et al isn't cool either. And when Kobe gets the Bill Russell Trophy when it really was Joey Crawford and Pau Gasol who deserved it, you can't find a better nickname for those clowns. Of course, there are great Laker fans and I'll never call them Fakers, but that organization is a joke.
cHeat is a lame nickname, so what? I'll call them cHeat not one time, not two... well you get it. I prefer the Three Stooges, Miami Hype and even cHeatles. As to individual players, I like LeTravel, Karate Hamster, D-Whistle. I don't feel good calling Ray Judas, but I don't mind if anyone does it, out of frustration.
As a Celtic fan, I'm as biased as you can find, wearing green googles and drinking green kool aid. You'll notice that when things go bad, and refs kill us
, but you'll never see me showboating and trolling other teams boards when we beat them. This is a Boston Celtics Blog, after all, and we can enjoy being fans. Relax.
