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.

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.

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.

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

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