| Quote: | A Guide to Hating the Celtics!
We begin with two storylines, premises, really, that you must understand straight up front:
1) The Celtics cry. They cry more than Best Actress winners at the Oscars. They cry like every game is a wedding. Every time a call goes against them, there will be more tears than Kleenex can handle. They cry even after they have to dial 911 to mop up some fallen opponent who's been mugged and beaten within an inch of his life.
2) The Celtics also foul. They foul on every play. They foul everyone, from stars to scrubs. They foul as a strategy. They foul as a style. They foul as a tradition. They foul hard and they foul incessantly. They foul just for the fun of fouling. They probably foul their own bus driver on the way to the arena.
Now, so you can hate them properly and profoundly, here they are, the Boston Celtics: |

Ironic that the author goes by the name: "Green"

Yeah this is all over the blogs for him mocking Pierce being stabbed and while I don't like Paul Pierce either I don't think him being stabbed should be mocked.
I mean you could easily say the about Kobe and Colorado. |

That line about Pierce stabbing is definitely in bad taste, but the rest of it is great! Bill Simmons is trying to get people to flood him with emails about t his. It was posted on LA Times as well but taken down promptly.

He stepped over the line with that. Those cats could have killed -- and certainly were trying to kill -- Paul Pierce.
Drama queen he is, but that situation was out of bounds to joke about.

While I don't condone violence or anyone getting really hurt, he probably got stabbed for a reason. Probably being the b**** he is. |

I think this stuff has to be avoided. I wouldn't like if Boston media brought up Colorado for no reason either. |

My hatred of Paulina pretty much absolves him of anything. Great writing. Planning on rereading it now, and clicking on it a few times to hopefully gain him some extra hits.
When I see Utah fans rag on Fisher for wanting to help his daughter with a tumor, I could care less if he got stabbed or not. Like others have said, he probably got stabbed for a reason. People don't go around saying "LOOK, THERE IS A TALL DUDE WITH PUBIC LOOKING FACIAL HAIR, LETS STAB HIM". |

It's amazing I just got back from Aruba, you wouldn't believe how many
of those Bugger green Jersey's i saw, being the Laker's fan that I am
I was wearing Laker's gear proudly. It is funny cause all the trash talking
we did, the better I felt. I hate the C's and can't wait to get it on with these clowns. |

| I don't need a guide to tell me why to dislike the Celtics (doubt many here need one either), but thanks I guess. |

Some people need a guide to hate the Celtics?
What the (bleep) is wrong with them?
It's not hard. No one should have to give you reasons or tell you how.

This is for the people that think that the C's are old and irrelevant and that we should be more concerned with the Cavs, Magic, etc....
It's the Celtics. You hate them because they exist. |

| Anybody trying to justify the comments making fun of him being stabbed by saying, "he probably deserved it" is a ****ing idiot and a disgrace as a Laker fan. Get the hell out of here, you make the rest of us look really bad. |
