As much as I dislike your organization, I must give you guys credit for making the ECF. Well done.

The main reason I made an account, was to wish you guys the best against Miami (I can't believe I'm actually rooting for you guys). While I dislike the Celtics with a passion, I surely do respect your entire team and organization. I feel your organization represents basketball to its purest form. You guys do it right; old school, grit, and real team ball.

I think it will be a tough series, but I have no doubt you guys can advance if KG continues to play the way he has been. Rondo has really matured in my eyes and is really a leader now. Everytime I think of PP, I think about the wheelchair incident...nevertheless, he is a baller and will always be a scoring threat. Ray reminds me a lot of a Reggie Miller, not only because of the downtown threat, but the way he comes off screens to get himself open. Then again, you guys all know this already.

Bottom line is, I hope you guys demolish Miami, but I'll settle for you guys winning in 7! Good luck the rest of the way.

Honestly I respect you a lot for coming on here and saying that. I'm still amazed myself to be honest. Like yourself, I would love nothing more than to beat the Heat. I'm glad Celtics and Lakers fans can finally agree on something...haha

Our teams have gone through so many battles against each other, it's natural for us to dislike/hate each other. But I think there is a mutual respect. Miami on the other hand, is full of sh*t.

  The problem is, for the Heat, sweep means "sweep the leg". I wonder if the Celts are banged up enough that the Heat think they can try and win without having to take out any of our players first.

LFD - thanks for the post, feeling is mutual.  I hate the Lakers, but underneath that hatred is a respect, even an admiration.  On the other hand, nothing at all like that towards the Heat.  Thanks again for the post!

And how will you fell when the Heat lose again in the Finals? This time to the Spurs.
Peace through Tyranny

This is nice and all but I'm pretty sure there won't be any Celtics fans rooting for the Lakers any time soon  ;D

That being said, as much as I hate the Lakers, it's mostly because they've been so good and win every time I want them to lose.

I actually liked the Lakers briefly in 1990 when Magic was playing.  He was just fun to watch.  Kobe is starting to make me respect him and I'm almost at the point where I don't dislike him.

I actually like Pau Gasol.  He did some commentary during a game once and I was impressed.  He seems intelligent and humble.  I'd take him on the C's any day.

if the bulls had stayed healthy we wouldve been no different than the lakers this season...its like if the thunder lost durant in the playoffs and then westbrook for some of it too and the lakers lucked into an easy matchup.
with that said im hoping we can at least push the heat

I just want to say, you guys got absolutely ROBBED in this game. A lot of bad calls/non calls towards the end of the game.
