Classless "Boston Sucks" chants from Lakers fans

I watched the game at home and I admit, I did no chanting!

They were yelling that Boston Sucks while we were up 2-0 in the series. Does that mean that they suck even more? How can you be good if you suck and are in the Finals?

I hate the Yankees, but I hate the Yankees suck chants. It started when they were dominating us year in and out so it feels like a loser chant to me, and it wasn't true. I mean you could say like Royals Suck but I'm sure Royals fans would join in with you, so I guess "insert name here sucks" chants suck.

It wasn't classless to have a team chanting Beat LA during their conference championship celebration? Chanting is a part of the game for fans. I didn't pay $90 a seat to stay quiet.

Sorry..LA has the classless chant.

I hope you're joking.

Love the analysis you should write a linguistics thesis on it.

Maybe the crowd shoud chant "Boston is not as good as us"

This way, the Boston fans who are sensitive don't get their feelings hurt. We wouldn't want that.

OP Come on, this is what makes Rivalries fun. Enjoy it, it is all in good fun.
:wink:

When Michelle Tafoya was interviewing Pierce soon after game four last night and as he's leaving toward the tunnel. You can clearly hear on TV a Lakers fan no doubt yell out: "Shut up, Pierce!"

Really, was that called for?
