Reminds me back in 2003<BR/>When NHTI was down by as much as 30in the first half and down 22 to start the second half we went ahead and out scored them 56-12 in the half to win by by 22. I would have like to say i helped score a bunch of those points but only finished the game with 6 points and 9 rebounds. <BR/><BR/>we went on the next day to lose by one and got knocked off in the quarters.

In 1982, I had recently returned to the Boston area after living in Philly for 4 years. I was a big fan of both teams - hard not to like that Sixers lineup (yeah, even Darryl Dawkins).<BR/><BR/>I was trying to explain to my kids the origin of the "Beat LA" chant (<I>as it pertains to that particular basketball rivalry</I>, Mr. Clueless Previous Commenter). At the moment that chant started, I was filled with a mix of emotions, mostly proud of the classiest fans in recent history and simultaneously filled with the sickening feeling that the Celts had lost. 26 years later, those are the exact feelings that come back to me when I hear that chant. But now there's an added feeling - the feeling that there are very few people who remember what that chant really means. Makes me want to shout "Shut up, all of you and get off my lawn."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-60041055047284201072008-06-04T19:36:00.000-04:002008-06-04T19:36:00.000-04:00San Francisco Giants fans were chanting Beat LA to...San Francisco Giants fans were chanting Beat LA to their rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers, as early as the mid 70s. <BR/><BR/>The myth that it started that night is cute, and probably a lot more interesting than the real story, but unfortunately just not very true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-1725242217788859942008-06-04T17:19:00.000-04:002008-06-04T17:19:00.000-04:00My only question is when will the NBA "experts" re...My only question is when will the NBA "experts" realize that they need to stop picking against the Celtics?
