Kobe Bryant is getting cheered

Not many people expected the Celtics to beat the Lakers last night, as the home team was riding an awesome 12-game losing streak, as well as declarations from Danny Ainge that Coach Doc wasn’t getting fired anytime soon.
So yeah, it went as planned - the Lakers took down the team known as BOS, and did so in relatively easy fashion.
What wasn’t planned, nor expected, was to hear the Boston crowd cheering for a Los Angeles Laker. As Kobe put up a solid 43 points (+8 reb/8 asst), the people started up “MVP” and “Kobe” chants.
Is this the all-time low point for the franchise? We asked ourself, and this is what we came back with.
YES.
Brief and to the point, while still straying from a generic form answer.
Are we the greatest basketball mind of this age? Perhaps. Perhaps not. It’s not really up to us to decide such things - we leave that to the people - the commenters such as Boney and Tony Parker, who have odd, internet man-crushes on us.
As for the Lakers and Celtics, they are truly two teams going in different directions.
One up, one down.
Purple, gold, green, a blemish.
In time, the tides, and then, the sun.
One time. One time.
Over the river and through the woods,
One time.
Again.
That’s poetry, kid. That’s talent. Talent that perhaps outweighs out basketball analytical skills. You’ve witnessed the birth, and thus the legend does grow.
GO PISTONS!




You’re damn right Go Pistons. They put on a show last night that woulda made LeBron jump out of his seat and yell in his fancy sportcoat…
You saw the highlight of Maxiell’s block right? I hope he gets another chance like that on Sunday.
No denial of the internet man-crush. Tony?
