Umm how did Game 2 happen at the Staples Center?

[VINandTonic42]

apparently they were watching the game at the staples center

on the "jumbletrom" IO assume

[Roy Hobbs]

I'd love to say that this stuff only happens in LA, but Boston has enough drunken idiots for fans, too.

[VINandTonic42]

The globe sports blog has the video also

I'm pretty sure I see a green jersey in the middle of that melee

I agree this stuff is stupid

It's senseless and idiotic

Whoever it was(C's fan or not), I hope they're alright

[NicaraguanFan]

This behavior is completely inexcusable.  As a soccer fan I see this more times than I wish.

NF.

this is Home Court Advantage for LA.. hahahha..

Warning: NEVER KEEP CONTACT TO A PERSON WHO HAD A MIND OF A YELLOW AND PURPLE (ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE THE MIND OF A GREEN OR YOU JUST HATE YELLOE/PURPLE) DURING LOSING TIMES.

As usual, I'm with Roy on this one.
Idiots come in all shapes, forms and
colors.

And like NF, I've seen this a lot at
soccer games, too. I've even seen three
fights between FC Copenhagen fans at one
game, and I'm a fan of them as well.

My father used this Danish saying a lot,
which, roughly translated, goes like this:

"Simple minds, simple pleasures"...

Wow, I hope the Celtic fan is alright.

I guess if the Lakers Players cannot Beat Us, the Laker Fans are going to give it there best try..

There are fans like this all over the country, not just in LA LA Land.

Meh im not even convinced that video is of a group of Laker fans beating a Celtic fan.  To me it looks like a mini brawl.  Probably a group of drunken Laker fans frustrated over falling down 0-2 and resorting to attacking each other.  Whaa whaaa, Laker fans.

[fairweatherfan]

This reminds me of an ignored subplot to the series: The NBA might well prefer a Celtics win in the Finals because they would rather not have a championship immediately followed by a riot, like after the last few Laker titles.

[mjohnson]

yeah!! it is a Lakers fans' brawl.

here's my story:
I guessed that one of the Lakers fan finally became a bandwagon fan after discovering the celtics dominating performance. He spoke lots of cool and great things about Boston before he even realized that he was in LA land.

 

[celticmaestro]

disgraceful.

edit: i didn't realise this was in a thread already, thanks for merging it.

[LarBrd33]

well this video is clearly a Celtic fan going at it against a sea of Laker fans:

But really I don't really care.  They all look like a bunch of thugs anyways.  Im gonna assume the Celtic fan wasn't just minding his business and enjoying the game.  The guy was probably ticking people off taunting.   Why even go to that thing in the first place?  What's the appeal to a Celtic fan to go watch a game on the jumbotron with thousands of Laker fans?  Go watch it at home on a big screen with your fellow Celtic fans.  Unless you're just there to gloat and start trouble.

I live in Seattle and had been invited by a group of friends to watch the game at a local sportsbar.  The thing is, I know half the people there will be annoying Kobe fans and I didn't really want to deal with that scene in the event the Lakers started winning.  I'd probably want to attack someone.  So I stayed home and watched it with my dad.
