I Love Detroit

[Hrvoje]

No, I'm not crazy (at least I think so)

Until this series, team I most hated were Pistons. Not anymore. Now they look like a nice bunch of guys to me.

Now that team are Lakers. I think I'm beginning to experience just how fans felt during that famous
rivalry between C and L before I was even born. It is crazy. All I think about are the Celtics. I wake up at 3:00 AM every game now to watch them and absolutely have no problem with it. In past several days all I dream about are the Celtics (literally). I never wanted any team, national or club to win at any sports, like I want Celtics to win tomorrow.

If it was other team playing against us now, it wouldn't be the same; my desire for Celts to beat them.

Because I can't stand them. Not anymore. I can't stand "nice family guy" Bryant, I can't stand flopper Vujačić, I can't stand Odom, and I can't stand Radmanović. I can't stand them. Not to mention, so called fans of theirs - Hollywood celebrities, who come to games just to get pictured. Except Jack. But I can't stand him either, though. And that guy sitting next to him, wearing kids sunglasses, I know I saw him couple of times, but I don't know his name. It seems like I'm counting every minute before jump ball tomorrow. I don't remember when I was so anxious about something.  Soccer is national sport here in Croatia and it is EURO 2008 now. I didn't watch single Croatia game. Because all I think about are the Celtics.   

Am I going mad?

Either way,

GO CELTICS! AND FINISH THEM TOMORROW!

(it is your turn Kevin!)

Haha.  You have officially reached "diehard" status.  I'm very glad that we could have this series, to give a lot of the younger fans a glimpse of what the rivalry was.

the pistons aren't even a big rival to the celtics....you should hate the lakers above everyone else.....we owe them for 85 and 87.....

the pistons are my most team. at least the lakers have a great player in kobe, as much as i dislike him. the pistons have ruined the nba with their grabbing, flopping, and holding. the reason no one can trash talk anymore? the brawl at palace hills started by the pistons.

the lakers are #2 though, and hopefully, we do them in 6 games the same way we did detroit.

I like the Pistons.  Every single player except for Rip Hamilton, who's amongst my least favorite players in the league.  This is easily offset by the awesomeness that is Sheed.
