Gracias Edgar,
First, I should say that I am a Lakers fan, have been since the early 70's. However, I am not a troll, at least as defined by common internet usage, and even without reading the site guidelines here, I will not in any case comport myself if I do post on this site, in any manner which would be construed as being beyond the pale.
I live in Italy, and the only Laker-related blog which I feel like frequenting is this one:
http://lakers.topbuzz.com/This site has quite a few Laker fan members from countries outside of the USA, and I prefer it to the other blog-sites as it is similar to this one by not allowing too much rabid posting, expletives, flaming, etc. A taut ship where we can talk about basketball and where the members are not very tolerant of the negative type postings unfortunately now so common on many blog sites.
So, if I post, I will talk about basketball.
Both of our fanbases have now come full circle. We are priveleged to be witness to another chapter of our honorable rivalry. This is "the" rivalry upon which all others pale in comparison. Who could have imagined last year at this time that we would be here!
Without being facetious, Good Luck to the Celtic fans. Of course, I will be egging on my team, the Lakers. Whatever the outcome, this is history, and it is only appropriate that our two teams, who will have shared exactly half of all NBA Titles, will again do battle!
