Yeah, I’ll admit it, I used to cheer for the purple and yellow back in my younger days. I have fond memories of Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul Jabbar going against Larry Bird and Kevin McHale in the NBA championship.

But, something has changed, and I’m going “greener” these days. The currect Celtics players seem less arrogant, and play well together. I’m sure the old ones did too, but they were the foe back then.

I enjoy watching Paul Pierce take command of the court the way Magic Johnson did for the Lakers in the 80’s. They just have too many weapons and play really tough defense.

Who are you cheering for tonight?
