Celtics basketball was my favorite sport for the longest time. I can remember watching Russell with my father as a kid then the Cowens , Haveliceck team in college and then the "Glory years" when Bird came on board. Then Larry got hurt and retired , Bias croaked and so did Reggie and the whole team went to nothing. I lost interest. Basketball as a whole is so poor now that if you watched it in the 70's and 80's , you wonder what happened to the talent in the league. The best guys in the league now couldn't even have made the first Dream Team and now we can't even beat lithuania in the Olypics with pros playing. Its like the sport got a terminal illness.

anyway , I hope the Celtics do well and the sport is revived in this area again.

I have been on the bandwagon since Walker came back.....They probably won't win it all, but I think they will be fun to watch.

Its hard to watch the NBA now a days. It's such ghetto ball its boring. Everyone just stands around while one guy drives to the basket. Plus the loud pumping music in the backround while the game is in play is so gay. be nice to see the Celts go far but i dont care. The NBA just stinks if you ask me!

Apparently you did not watch the first game, great effort by the bench, super plays, lots of passing and fast breaks. Looked great. GO CELTS !!!

Remember not everyone likes the same things. Thats what makes us unique!

I agree Van; grew up at the end of the 80's championship era, but loved the old C's as a kid.. The new C's are a pretty solid team as far as fundementals go, although they have occasional vacations as a hot-dog team..

Skip... I dont know if Gay is the right word for the pumping music; I went to a game last season and while I'm not a hip-hop fan, I enjoyed myself, even though they were just playing the wizards...
