Roll Celtics, roll!

Perk is a beast:

Roll Celtics, roll!

Celtics-Lakers, yes.  Celtics-Pistons, sure.  I’ll even buy Celtics-Sixers.  But Celtics-Hawks?  Like my main Flavor Flav always says, don’t believe the hype.  And that’s all I’ve been hearing around here.  Hype.  Just because the upstart Atlanta Hawks took the World Champeen Celtics to seven games in last year’s playoffs, we have ourselves a rivalry.  Rivalries are steeped in tradition.  The Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics are the two most storied basketball franchises in National Basketball Association history.  Their battles epic.  Their deeds well documented in the annuls of history.  Odyssey epic.  The Celtics-Pistons rivalry while not as storied, is as least as bloody, if [...]

I’ve heard all the criticisms.  The nitwiticisms.  Oooooo, they’re not the team they were last year.  Oooooooo.  Withouth KG they’re done for.  Oooooo.  Get over yourselves.  The Boston Celtics are a nasty ballclub.  One very nasty ballclub.  You can bet your [...]
