Big news here in Massachusetts! The Celtics won the NBA title late last night. Of the Boston sports teams, the Celtics are the one I can tolerate the most. In fact, I found myself rooting for them. Paul Pierce has been here for years, has survived being stabbed, and having to play with the likes of NBA has-been's like Gary Payton, Walter McCarty and Antwan "Chuck it from Anywhere" Walker. Additionally, as a UCONN alum, I root for guys like Rip Hamilton, Ben Gordon and Ray Allen.
The team Danny Ainge assembeled this season represents the old NBA that I used to like watching. They are all team players who play defense and can shoot free-throws. When one has a bad night, the rest of the team picks it up. It's been about winning for the C's this year, and I'm glad they won. I currently don't root for any NBA team (the Nets are a disaster, and the Knicks are even worse). The Celtics have won me over this year. I may even let my son watch NESN next fall.
