Hi, my name is Buck Foston. Nice to meet you

So, since this is my first time, and I'm a little nervous about performance and satisfying you, I'll start slow. ;)


First of all, I went to Game 5 of the NBA Finals last year at Staples, in L.A. Greatest sporting event experience of my life. I can't stress enough, that if you like sports and your favorite team makes it to a championship game, go. Finals tickets, Superbowl tickets, World Series tickets, all very expensive, but if your team is there, go! It's worth it, a lot of fun, and a hugely surreal experience. Secondly, yes, I'm a Lakers fan, so there is a little bias in my research; however, I'm not making anything up.

But, I digress. The 2008 Boston Celtics are the least deserving championship team in NBA history (with the exception of Kevin Garnett), here's why:

(a) Their GM, Danny Ainge, won the NBA Executive of the Year Award and didn't split it with Kevin McHale, the GM of the Minnesota Timberwolves who handed them Kevin Garnett for almost nothing because McHale is an ex-Celtic who wanted his old team to be good again...and the Celtics fans think the Pau Gasol trade to the Lakers was a gift?

(b) On top of not even coaching the Celtics' defense, the reason they won the title, Doc Rivers, the Celt's Head Coach, makes snide little comments about Phil Jackson complaining about officiating, but Doc argues EVERY call and can't resist jumping out of his seat, enraged at the mere sound of a whistle only to sit if the call is for the Celtics, watch him, you'll see it.

(c) Paul Pierce gets M V P chants? He should be getting M L S chants (for those that don't get that, MLS is Major League Soccer and soccer players fake injuries all the time to gain referee compassion, just like Pierce did.

(d) Sam Cassell and PJ Brown signed contracts with the C's only to acquire a ring without earning it and without doing much.

(e) After the Finals, Paul Peirce pronounced himself the best player in the world. Really? Really!?! He's not even the best player on his team! All I can do is laugh at this d____bag.

(f) The 17th title? More like 4th. All those Celts championships in the 50's and 60's came when there was only twelve teams in the league and one of those twelve, the C's, had 15 of the top 20 basketball players in the world on it. Most of the people claiming the Celtics to be the best organization in history have seen the Lakers win more titles in their lifetime than the Celtics have won in 40 years.

So on and so forth, undeserving, the lot of them, except Garnett...KG, you deserve it, and congrats.

~~~~~~~~~~

P.S. Actually, thanks Celtics, for giving us real Laker fans a real reason to hate you again. After 21 years of "Blah" towards you because you were sucking it up in last place, we can legitimately hate you with true passion again. Thank you so much for that.

A rivalry renewed. I can't even wear green, I love the Yankess and Colts now just because their fans hate Boston, and now I even have disgust for tea and brick buildings. It's just too bad that The Celtics aren't even the 2nd best team in their conference this year (Cavs and Magic are both better teams), so they may not even get a chance to go to the Finals and prove me right.
