Alright guys, keep kissing Kobe Bryant's ass. Because Minnesota didn't get a 21/11 player that earned 18 All-NBA votes or one high draft pick (their own pick that we returned from a previous deal involving Ricky Davis and Wally Szcerbiak) and another draft pick that belongs to us. They also didn't get Ryan Gomes, a player that grew into a starter for them and has the potential to be a key bench player for a championship team. They also didn't get Sebastian Telfair, who started PG and played VERY well for them for most of the season (the games that I watched at least). Gerald Green..well I'll say he's a ****ing bust no doubt. But that deal wasn't "unfair" at all.

No question for me. I rooted for the Lakers in the 70s and 80s against the Celtics, nothing's changed. Even moreso that I appreciate PJax as a person and coach and want to see him succeed. And... TMac is a point forward.

The Celtics are only so widely disliked because these people all root for teams that got crushed by the Celtics in the regular season. And they're bitter
The Lakers have been more impressive lately, I think that is also why people like them more. The Celtics are a talented team but they seemed to struggle against the Hawks/Cavs.

You don't want the Lakers to win because of Chick Hearn, but isn't it the same for the Celtics and Johnny Most, cpawfan?
Also, I would hate to see KG win a ring. He's easily one of the most over-rated players in NBA history. I don't think there's ever been a player other than him that had such pretty stats and such minimal impact on games.

I don't like either team, but I can't decide which team I dislike more than the other. I don't want to see KG win a ring I don't want to see Kobe win another ring I don't believe the LA Lakers should win a title without Chick Hearn I don't want to see the Celtics be the team to stop Phil Jackson from passing Red in NBA titles as a coach I don't like Bill Simmons (and his Boston bias) I despise Charley Rosen (and his Phil Jackson mouthpiece bias) I don't want to see PJ Brown and Sam Cassell rewarded for chasing a championship I don't want to see Luke and Coby dancing like Mark Madsen I don't want to see Boston win a championship because of McHale's incompetence I don't want to see the Lakers win a championship because of Chris Wallace's incompetence Boston hasn't won a title since Bird and I want to keep it that way The Lakers haven't won a title since I moved from LA and I want to keep it that way Please help me decide.</div> To me it's a no contest. Lakers. I'll be rooting for the Lakers, because after the Super Bowl, I'm really starting to like the idea of a team from Boston shoved down everyone's throats by the media, saying how they're so good and how they're the favorite to win the title. And then they get to the championship and it's back to reality. To me, a Boston team building up so much excitement among its fans and the media and then losing to another team in the championship is wayyyy better than them sucking and being under .500. I'm sure Boston fans feel the same way about New York and other teams, specifically the 2004 ALDS and Super Bowl XXXVI.
