will the Celts close out LA tonight? I'm not much of a hoop fan but after seeing the behavior of the Lakers "superstar" guard I'm glad they
are gonna go down. I'm talkin on the court,nevermind his antics off the court! berating teammates out in the open,refusing to high five teammates! He's
a great player but he hasn't played well enough to point fingers! Who's the coach him or Jackson? He should be high on the list,if not on top,of the
spoiled,pampered athletes list!

I don't really follow pro hoops much either, but from what I've seen and heard, I think he is at or near the top of a very big list of spoiled
athletes. I could never understand why someone with as much talent would have to be such a complete jerk, but there are a LOT of such players/athletes out
there. The problem is that nobody is willing/able to tell them to shut the f--- up and play. And the media constantly kissing their asses only adds to the
problem.

Hey Jgriff, that was some game six. I didn't see the whole game, but what a total ass-kicking! There can be no possible shadow of a doubt as to who the
better team was. The only drawback would be the fact that Red Auerbach is not around to enjoy the Celtics back on top. I guess victory parades through the
streets of Boston must be getting old by now????

I think the Lakers were just happy pushing it to six games. L.A was a fairly large favorite to win it.Somebody was a little off on that prediction. Auerbach
was definetly a character! What a shame the Patriots couldn't pull it off. Still a great year for Boston sports tho.

Don't worry about the patriots-- they will be back. They will definitely be back before the Giants. It's only a few months, but the Giants have had
more than a few controversies since their victory. Not to mention a few contract holdouts. And one of their best players retired. And training camp won't
open for another month.

The Pats will be strong this year no doubt. After what the Giants did last year if I was a fan I'd give em at least a one year pass!!!!LOL. I'd stick
by em even if they go 0-16!!!!!!!!!!. New York is tough tho. The fans will be all over them if they lose the first game probably.

Plus all the off-season banquets are not conducive to getting in shape to defend their title. I remember back in '86 after the Giants won their first super
bowl, I think about ten guys on that team wrote books. Off-season banquets, book signings, and, generally, everybody and their brother telling you how great
you are can definitely put someone in the wrong frame of mind. Not only the fans, but the New York media will be all over them like a cheap suit the first time
somebody makes a crucial mistake that costs them a game.
