It might even be in my blood. He watched the Celtics win over and over again back in the 1960's. He says that he would be happy if they never win another game. I'm not quite that hard core, however. I don't think a Lakers-Celtics finals reunion will be happening again, however. There is a good chance that neither one will get there. The Celtics are looking old, and the Lakers have lost their confidence.Paul Swendsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759790121603396564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758052833786706076.post-55160149449490600902010-04-06T04:25:53.087-07:002010-04-06T04:25:53.087-07:00My suggestion is to abandon the the Lakers in favo...My suggestion is to abandon the the Lakers in favor of the Celtics. <br /><br />As a kid, except for playing soccer, I didn't watch or care about any sports. I hated when my television was held hostage for football and Nascar. Other than that, my father didn't watch any other sports.<br /><br />I fell in love with basketball when I got married. When I moved to Cambridge, that Red Sox fever took hold. I'll watch the games, but it's often while I'm surfing the net. I give much more attention to basketball. But for both, I love live games.<br /><br />Obsession with sports doesn't seem to make much sense, yet I guess it serves some purpose because it happens... a lot. <br /><br />After watching The Blind Side, I even appreciate football.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758052833786706076.post-61883001187417257472010-04-05T23:19:00.574-07:002010-04-05T23:19:00.574-07:00I enjoy irrationality too..it is ironic a little b...I enjoy irrationality too..it is ironic a little because I just finished my post about celebrating Easter and it would be best if I went with the irrationality of it and have fun with my daughter hunting for plastic candy filled eggs.<br /><br />http://raphe1969.blogspot.com/2010/04/will-i-celebrate-easter-in-future.htmlRaphehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119473180865430576noreply@blogger.com
