Ha. I actually kind of like this. With so much of the NBA marketing and festivities at arenas aimed at the casual fan it's nice to see some good old fashioned trash talking going on between team's fans whose cities have a history of sports rivalries (even if this is completely delusional).
Agreed.
I miss the Old Days of Barkley and Mchale going at it...Larry and Dr J choking one another.
The Sixers-Celtics rivalry needs a shot in the arm. Maybe this is it.
Only problem is that PHI really has no one that I could dislike a great deal. They are a tough defensive team, with no one singular identity.
