I love the Celtics and they are my favorite team, but I am a huge fan of the NBA as a whole. People really need to open their minds a little, watching basketball on the professional level is fun period. I have sort of a chip on my shoulder about this because I've tried talking general basketball to some Celtics fans before and even saying I watched other games provoked hostility from them (note: that is only indicative of a small minority of fans. Celtics fans tend to be some of the most knowledgeable in general). We should be so lucky to have teams like Golden State, Houston, Indiana, Clips, etc to watch. I can't get enough NBA
I agree. I like to watch other teams too. You learn a lot from it and sometimes discover very good systems, players, spirits,... The more I learn about this game, the more I enjoy watching the celtics.
This year it was nice to see NY team play the first 3 or 4 months. I surprised myself to appreciate some sacramento games too. Love tyreke evans and a couple of youngs there.
The mavs where I rediscover Carter. He had a tremendous season, it was very pleasant to see him perform that way again.
Love the rockets series. This team was fun to watch offensively.
Watch a lot of spurs this season. They impressed me more and more and they even step up during the playoffs (usually they don't).
Denver was incredible at home the entire season. Love the ambiance the fast offensive play and the good coaching.
I even surprised myself to watch few lakers game (the run for the playoff till Kobe injury. I always hated the lakers but always respected kobe as a great player and also as a great man (despite his spoiled brat attitude). But man, seeing him injured that way and at this moment it was painful to watch. I empathize a lot... Seeing blake and clark giving all they got was nice to witness too.
I stop here because I watch at least 3 games of every team and I always enjoy and or learn something out of it.
One thing I can't do is to watch miami live. I can't stand them winning to I make sure I know they lost before I watch their games. My heart can't stand it, sorry. This team is a fake. No history, no real fans. Lot of people left the stadium with 5 minutes left in the first game against chicago. Simply ridiculous, this is not a franchise. It is just some big ego fully loaded that want some nba rings in their living room the easy way.
Anyway NBA is great, the good things overcome all the nonsense, thank god.
