My favorite part about the hate site is how the guy spends the first paragraph trying to establish he's a Celtics fan by saying "we" and "our fans" to be inclusive (but he apparently wanted the lakers to win last year, since he mentions that he wish's the lakers were repeating this year)

and then goes on to blow it in the 2nd and third paragraphs by referring to celtics fan's as a non-fan of the team would constantly. ( Celtics fan's say, Celtics fan's like to think, ect, ect.)

and of course, if that wasn't a dead give away, red's army caught his twitter name. No self respecting celtic's fan's twitter is @kobe.

I'm disagreeing with you, but when he said "although I’d rather be talking about a repeat" I'm pretty certain he means "I'd rather be writing about the Celtics repeating."

I don't read it that way at all, he's waxing on about how great the laker's victory parade was and how awesome the player he named his twitter account after is when he makes the statement.

Kind of a random topic switch if he ment his supposed celtic fandom.

If the author is a Celtics fan, why isn't that picture of something Boston related? That is certainly not Boston's Chinatown..

I don't think they claimed to be Boston fans (I didn't read every word) - I think they are just Laker fans that think Red's Army is too harsh on them or something

I am putting $100 on the table right now placing my bet that this site is actually written and operated by good friend John Karalis (of redsarmy.com).  This is not a criticism, but recognition of his true genius!

Schizophrenic as it may be, it's a move that rivals the Brilliance! of Guinness...

nah, guy claims in the opening paragraph to be a boston celtics fan who is "striking back" against fake celtic fans who are hateful to other teams.

in the first paragraph he very clearly lays out that:
Quote
As a Celtics fan I’d like to congratulate the Lakers for what real Celtics fans see as a great season and an even better performance in the Finals.

note that here, and in two other lines he refers to "us" and being a celtics fan, but by the second paragraph, where he's ripping red's army:
Quote
That being said the dark side of Celtics pride once again found a way to report through those hate filled lens they soo love. Of course there “favorite to hate” Kobe Bryant got singled out in a post titled Best Proof Yet That Kobe Is All About Kobe. As like the litany of other Kobe Bryant hate that fuels the right wing Celtics fans it points a finger at Kobe Bryant as being selfish. They came up with this attack because during the victory parade Kobe apparently was wearing a Nike shirt with a puppet hand that had four fingers each with a championship ring on it while the rest of the team appeared to be all wearing some sort of white championship shirt.

notice that everything is "they" and "Them" now?

suddenly he sounds like a fan of a certain other team, and has switched from the whole "we, our team, celtics fan" motto of the first part.

also, whats a right wing Celtics fan? do we hold primary's and stuff? why wasn't i informed in our monthly newsletter!

Conclusion: Laker fan fakin' or red's army with a good parody of itself. :D

that would be a stunt on the level of Sasha Cohen wouldn't it?
