Here is an interesting fact that I didn't know about the Celtic/Lakers rivalry ( I am not a huge basketball fan so this is probably common knowledge).
"The two teams have won the two highest numbers of championships, the Celtics 17, the Lakers 16; together, the 33 championships account for more than half of the 64 championships in NBA history."
Pretty cool!

Boo to Boston Sox.


Bah and your Smeltics.
Go Lakers and Dodgers (OK, not a big fan of baseball )!



Lakers rule. Lakers need to tie and then take over Celtics' number of championships! Become a Lakers fan.

Has there ever been a Sift-Up for the northeast region?


Like where? In Boston? Boo to Celtics! Go Lakers!

Good job, Mavs. from a Lakers fan. Lakers deserved to be swept for playing like crap unlike Mavs. I was also surprised Mavs. never got a championship. Another reason for them to win over Heat.

I'd love to see this in NBA especially with Lakers.

L.A. Angels???

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, to be precise.
I am so proud of my city for that one.

[sighs] Anaheim is in Orange County (OC).

Yeah, it sounded pretty dumb when they made the name change. But the Angels were Los Angeles' first sports team from back in 1892. And honestly, Anaheim is a part of the LA sprawl, even if it is technically a different county, so it's not quite as bad as if they called the Lakers "The Minneapolis Lakers of Los Angeles".


1892? Wowser.

Didn't look that bad to me and the guy that got pushed seemed ok.
rugby basketball could be quite entertaining actually.

This was a lot worse than a rugby hit. Rugby has rules about how you hit a player for very good reasons.
I'd rather be placed as a linebacker in the NFL than have a guy cut my feet out from under me while going in for a dunk. I'm a light guy too, so I'd be crushed and smashed terribly every play as a linebacker against someone with more than 200lbs on me. I'd at least come out so badly bruised and hurting that I couldn't walk for over a week. I'll take that over coming down headfirst onto hardwood from several feet up.
Bynum's hit here is more than Bush League, his suspension should last the entire next season if not straight ejection from the league.
I'm a Canadian too, so I'm accustomed to bare fist fighting on ice as a terrific national pass time. There are rules to how you hurt each other in a sport though, specifically so that people get hurt instead of injured.

BAH still a load of rubsh , 1960s f1 drivers would gly out of the car and die all the time thats when sport was entertaining , the romans had it right as well . if u gona pay sumone 1 mill + they might as well be risking there lives for my entertainment.


I agree...fuck their lives goddammit. Since when do we bitch about rich people taking all our money in the market yet we still love these millionaire fuckers? That's bullshit, I hate all rich people INCLUDING athletes...bunch of low life bastards!

Ah, the good old days! I was watching and listening to NBC's NBA theme song yesterday.

Ditto. That's when I became a Blazer fan. Roomie/bandmates/friends were all fans so it kind of rubbed off on me when we'd all get together at our place for the games.

In reply to this comment by ant:
Yeah, they totally did. I miss the old days Lakers versus Blazers in the early 1990s/90s.

In reply to this comment by Duckman33:
Sorry, I feel your pain. I'm a Trailblazer fan myself. I'm sure you are aware of the rivalry there. I usually don't talk smack about a team getting swept, but the way they (The Lakers) handled it was like a bunch of spoiled brats. Not very sporstman like or respectful to the other team IMO.

I am a fan. Yes, this season sucked.
