I don't know why anyone would be afraid for a Cavs Lakers finals. Sheed is supposed to be the guy that would deside who was the best of the best acording to ESPN's experts 48 hours ago. But since then they havent made that statement must be cuz Boston is in the hunt for Sheed as we speek.

Yep.  Not a peep about Rasheed since the Celtics became the frontrunners. :-\

I have never seen a sport where the media has driven teams right up to the finals and opened the door for them like in the NBA. Don't even turn on Espn news cuz that is Suck a Cavs off station today.

Tell me how they are better, even with Artest when the C's have KG KP PP RA RR and lets toss Sheed in there for the hell of it. I will take the C's all day and the Roster isn't even set yet and thats not Homerizum. (sp)

yeah that is funny. whats up with the Celtics never getting any love nationally? only time i can remember is when the big three were formed, but even then many predicted us to be 3rd or 4rth in the east. We couldn't get respect until after the finals were over. 

LeBrons good, i get it. But since shaqs old, theyre still missing pieces. Orlando gained Vince but lost Turk. So how much did they really gain?? LA is about to lose Ariza, someone they couldnt have won without. We were missing KG last year and took the mighty magic to 7...so where's the love?

Is ESPN based in LA? i thought it was....? And vegas is near by, so is that why our odds are low?

Maybe this is just my boston bias? idk im trying to block that out and think rationally.

Maybe we'll have to win it again to get some love. but thats fine by me, because as long as were wining i can do without the love. the hate would feel just as good. ;D

we can thank bill russel and company for the national hate. the media guys outside of boston hate us if they witnessed it or were taught to hate us by their dads.

also(and this is just my opinion) many blacks are'nt gonna be crazy about a team called the celtics that wear a shamrock. just like whites in boston would'nt be crazy about rooting for a team named after any african heritage.

  • Rondo = Good
Anybody who's smart at all about basketball knows the Celtics when healthy are contenders but they just don't have any big name young stars to market, that's why we don't get a lot of hype.

LA - Kobe
Orlando - Howard
Cleveland - LeBron

etc.

All we have is Rondo.  The rest of our stars are old and aren't MVP type guys anymore, so we don't get as much play.
Never forget the Champs of '08, or the gutsy warriors of '10.

He's not young, but he's Kobe...he's the biggest NBA star of the last decade.
