I was referring to winning in terms of championships. My mistake, I should have been more specific in my words.

I was writing in response to back up the above poster who'd written in response to that one Laker fan.

Lakers fan here, I would agree if you win the championship, you should be at home. Just can not make everyone happy I guess. It was a game of the year so far. Either team could have won. Road or home. You got to win on both.
TY for a great game. Next time it will be in your crib.

Of course this is another way to prove that the league is extremely biased. I was at the game today to root for the Celtics but there's really nothing special about the Staples Center except for a fact that some of their fans are (Please Use More Appropriate Word) and that it attracts rich hollywood stars.

1st thing is for you to be quiet......adults are talking.....speak when spoken to.
No kidding...a staple with 9 titles when we have 17...yes, the Lakers are one of the two premier franchises in the NBA (the other being, of course, Boston) but he should just STFU...
It's still 17 to 11!!!!

Why was the game in LA? Because no one wants to see another 40 point blowout on a holiday, which is what would have happened if the game was in Beantown.
