Celtic fandom is not limited by geography; they have universal appeal unlike a pathetic collection of scrubs like the Tigers who must rely on the granfalloon of regional loyalty.

Anyway, I'm about as close to Boston Garden as MSG (the difference is about 20 miles). Both are less than 3 hour drives even at the speed limit (which is for losers).

The Boston Celtics will become quite irrelevant in the playoffs this year. Sorry to say.
They're another team down South..
The Celts beat the Clippers last night, but looked pretty unimpressive doing so. Green was awful though Kristic played OK (though he got in foul trouble and didn't play D in the imposing fashion of Perk). I doozed off and missed most of the 3rd and a bit of the 4th when the Celts took the game over; before that their defense was pretty bad allowing a slew of dunks. Must have tightened up after that.
Blake Griffin is a beast BTW.
Originally posted by no1marauderThese late season moves have always mystified me. It's almost as if they're throwing away their chances. Godd defenders are so hard to come by. I don't see them making a deep run like last year, but there remains a glimmer of hope.

If they are YOUR team it is customary to say ours,us,etc.
You dont have to live in that city to say that.
And for the record, Upstate NY is not that far from Boston and is loaded w/Celtic Fans.
Many of us naturally feel closer to the Celts then we would the Knicks or Nets. Albany to Boston is a hop skip and a jump.
Your comparison to Utah and the Yankees is absurd.
Originally posted by no1marauderAren't Nate and Perkins injured, maybe even out for the season? If that is the case, it is a good trade for the Celtics since their championship window is closing. If the big three were still in their twenties, then I think it would be a different story.
Why trade Kendrick Perkins, one of the keys of our defense, in the middle of a championship run? Why trade several other useful bench players for draft choices during same? What the hell is going on?
