the celtics team and game is FAR more boring than that of the spurs, 99% of the 'fans' the celtics have now are nothing but bandwagoning douchebags who dont even follow basketball and probably think 'teh bulls' are still the best team.
the only thing this boston team has in common with the famous 80's teams is the franchise name yet all these schmoes seem thinks this is all 'so great' cause the name 'celtics' reminds them of a team from over two decades ago
maybe if they actually watched the games they would realise that current boston has perhaps the most grueling, slow, defensive-minded, lack of flash game of any team in the league which, ironically, is what people claim to hate the spurs for, these same schmoes now all over boston's nuts
I live near the garden, and even when the Celtics where a BAD team, the garden still sold more tickets than a lot of the NBA teams in the market. Boston is 50x times the sports town San Antonio will ever be, and don't be upset because your Spurs will be watching the Celtics play for there
17th title. Don't vent your frustrations on how boring your team is on Celtics fans. Btw, the Spurs are in the twilight of their "Dynasty", and they all have one place to go - down. What happend to the Celtics of the 80's will happen to the spurs, and the only difference is your team won't have one tenth of the history, to back up the dive the spurs will take. Btw, who competes with the spurs in the Market? Insert 5 other major franchises - ( that all either have been in the playoffs, or winning titles, and you see what attendance is like if you are in the middle of a 20 year championship drought). Patriots -superbowl, Red Sox - worldseries, Bruins - Playoffs, Rev - Finals and finally the Celtics going for a title. People go to see their teams win, and when they spurs are not winning,no one will go. When the Celtics sucked, they still drew more people than a lot of other NBA teams who where much better.
You have never been to Boston, Never been to the garden, and have no idea what you are talking about in regards to current Celtics fans. ANy random Celtics fan can talk NBA history with the best of them, and what do you call spurs fans who jumped on the wagon when they started winning? I'm willing to bet 99 percent of Spurs fans wagons are less than 10 years old! At least the Celtics have history.
