It's because we are not some pretty-fancy team like Cavs with a lots of pretty shots and dribbles and dunks. We are warriors with less talent and not that nice to watch always, but who cares. Let them hate us. We'll see who's gonna talk next year when we winn the East.
This, especially by the national media. This team doesn't fit neatly with the NBA marketing strategy of a few high-profile stars who drive sneaker and jersey sales.
Anybody listen to NBA Radio on SiriusXM? There's a commentator there, Gerald Brown, who think he has ALL the answers. He claims the ONLY reason the Celtics won that series was due to Rondo's absence. He completely ignored two key points:
(1) Brad's starting lineup change which took Bulls off-guard and was really effective and,
(2) the fact that the Celtics were helping IT through a tough time and didn't play their best in the first 2 games.
