Probably not.

As a side note, when AD was still in NO and asking for a trade, I remember his dad making public comments that he would never want his son to play for the Celtics after what they did to Isaiah Thomas. I wonder if the crowd will remembers this.

This is the real rivalry here. We got these bozos though.

Lakers.....the greatest franchise in the NBA post 1980s. Best team to be a fan of since I’ve been alive. Good on you Celtics for winning a ton of Championships in the 1960s but who cares you guys suck.

Oh, and dear Boston.....your “chowda” is overrated.

Boston has dropped a few games in a row, is back to full strength, and will treat this like a game 7. Hope the squad can match that intensity.
Once again, these big matchups will come down to Lebron's aggressiveness. I really want him to look to score early, put the pressure on the D, and then distribute. Still undefeated when he scores 30+.

Also, ESPN is doing a good job of jinxing the Lakers with the Lebron/Kemba head-to-head record as the headline story.

A couple things about the "history photo's" above. Where's Wilt, Cousy and West?..... and second.... Magic and Brid were both listed as 6'-9"...

Added a few more pics. I could have gone all day posting photos of all the Lakers and Celtics retired numbers and epic moments.

Though it does look like Bird was about a hair taller than Magic.

Green again... two games in a row?

Landsberger · Post #15 » by **Landsberger** » Tue Jan 21, 2020 12:44 am

Other than the LeBron hero possession we're shredding them

This is how I thought Lebron would start. Too passive.

Landsberger · Post #17 » by **Landsberger** » Tue Jan 21, 2020 12:47 am

OK... LeBron knock it off!

I live in NE. Kill them leprechauns. Ugliest jerseys ever. Kevin McHale. Crush them.

That's the second time Mcgee has lost the inbound pass

Knew it wouldn't last, but can blame Lebron for the Celtics getting right back into it.
