Christmas special: Celtics Vs. Lakers

[SpiralHawk]

Was just checking the schedule, and see that the NBA is firing a massive shot in the WAR AGAINST CHRISTMAS.

The Celtics (20-2 as of today) will be playing the Lakers (17-2) at 5 PM EST on Christmas Day - an event sure to, um, draw many a fan away from family to squat before the toob.

Should be a doozy...

2. Being a Sixer fan, these two are at the top of my "rivals" list. But watching them play will

be the sacrifice I make in the war against Xmas.

Your welcome, in advance, for thanking me for my service.

4. I went to a Sixers game on Easter once

Didn't realize I was at war. Did feel kind of odd, but I was out of town and no family to see anyway. At least I prayed that they'd win. :sarcasm:

Barkley, Mahorn, Manute Bol...long time ago.

5. Manute Bol rocks!

LYRICS TO 'THE BALLAD OF MANUTE BOL'

Who's that man over there who s so incredibly tall?
Who's that man who can block the shots as high as city hall?
Who's that man when he enters a game the other team goes outta control?
Who's the greatest basketball player in the game of basketball?
Manute, Manute J. Bol
Oh, Manute! Manute J. Bol
Oh, Manute! Manute J. Bol
Oh, Manute! Manute J. Bol

Seven foot one? No
Seven foot two? No
Seven foot three? No
Seven foot four? No
Seven foot five? No
Seven foot six? Almost
Seven foot seven? Yeah!

[SpiralHawk]

9. The Lakers will have a Deep Urge to restore their dignitude

after the Celtics gave them a Nastee Spanking in the Finals...

[SpiralHawk]

10. Celtics are 22-2 as of Dec. 15

Lakers are 20-3.

As Santa packs his bags, the regular season roundball showdown inches closer...

12. I'd like to see the Sharks play the Celtics instead.

[SpiralHawk]

13. Celtics now an amazing .929 winning percentage (26-2)

Lakers have cooled a bit to .808 (21-5).

But it still should be an EPIC showdown on Christmas Day in LA.

"Real republicon chickenhawks, like me, will be at the dining room table sucking up gobs-full of turkey carcass and shoo-fly pie. The War on Christmas will be won by face-feeding republicon chickenhawks. You can depend upon it."

15. ...just as we'll be sitting down to Christmas dinner. Guess I won't be watching it. nt

17. I'd rather watch a test pattern than the NBA

Bowl games on Christmas would have been much nicer. Or the NFL.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Different Strokes, and All That

I'd rather watch paint dry than most college football games. So, there's that!

Me i watched the Celts and Lakers.

18. Good game.

That was fun to watch.

19. Both games on ABC were great showings.

Too bad the C's ran out of steam at the end there.

22. I have to admit to being bored by the game.

NBA regular season just lacks the intensity of college basketball.

ALL the players are good. It's just not that interesting.

[Tektonik]

23. Maybe you were not watching after all

That was an intense game.

[Captain Hilts]

24. And I'm a diehard Celtics fan, but, in the grand scheme of things, the game..

has little meaning when you play over 70 a year.

I was impressed by the Lakers' center, whom I had not seen play. He posts up very well and makes his foul shots.

[Iggo]

25. Yeah, I woulda said the same thing...

...if the Lakers had lost.
