How about despise? Is despise any better? Actually, a lot of it this year is transfered anger from the NBA. Their unabashed woody for a Celtics/Lakers series just steams me. No acknowledgment of the continued excellence of Dumars' Pistons. Only pining for the glory days in the late 80s when Bird and Magic ruled the courts and -- wait -- didn't the Pistons win a couple of titles back then? Huh. Must've forgotten about that.... Good Lord, this is turning into a sports blog! Can the grade-school insults and rampant misspellings be far behind?! Yeah, maybe hate is too strong a work. How about despise? Is despise any better?

Larry Bird and the old Boston Garden are history man. The Celtics haven't seen hope in a long time while the Pistons have been the b-ball gold standard. I stayed up beyond even Anna's bedtime watching the game on Wed. I love to watch Billups and Prince and Wallace and Rick (face mask guy) play - and that Stuckey fellow is a keeper. I hadn't watched a game in a long time - it's such a 3 point contest anymore. You know the NBA and advertisers want a Lakers/Celtics series. There will endless references to Bird and Magic and east/west coast rivalries and so many celebrities! Which team will Obama and Clinton support?! I have to cheer on the Celtics but it wouldn't break my heart to see the Pistons win... Dude - what’s with the hate? Larry Bird and the old Boston Garden are history man.
