What’s better then a really low-down dirty rivalry? Where the fans hate each other, the cities hate each other, and the players hate each other. Where the history between the teams literally sits in the stand watching their replacements continue the battle. Where the most titles have been won, the best players have laced up their shoes, and the best games have been played. The answer, in case you hadn’t figured it out already (and in that case, there is something way wrong with you), nothing!
And that my friends, is what we are privileged to be watching Thursday night in Celtics vs. Lakers. In an era where all the players seem to be friends, there aren’t many times where you can watch two teams play each other and honestly feel that they want to rip each others throats out on the way to the desired title. The McHale Clothesline? Yeah about that…never would happen today. Well, ok you’re right. Artest would quickly sign up to join that party. But I mean, he’s just plain crazy! He doesn’t need to hate you to want to kill you!
The series hasn't been pretty. I'll give you that. But you can't say that it hasn't been passionate, hard-fought and intense. The fans are into it, the players are into it, hey even the refs are having a good series! So enjoy the game. I know I plan to.
