I think people are missing the point here, and that is, both the Celtics and the Pistons are the "best" teams in a sucky conference in a league that for the most part sucks.
Both Boston and Detroit destroyed the Western Conference this year. The Celtics were 25-5 against them, including 4-0 against the Lakers and Spurs, while the Pistons were 22-8.
Were any of those victories after Gasol arrived to the Lakers? I don't think Boston or Detroit beats the Lakers in the finals. That's assuming of course that the Lakers finish off the Spurs. I have learned to never count out the Spurs. They are the four time defending champions for a reason.
Boston may be 4-0 against the Lakers and Spurs in the regular season, but as far as LA, it was mostly before Gasol signed with LA. Boston has also struggled with consistency during the big show. So far they have not won one game on the road. Both their early round series went the distance, winning only at home. The Pistons actually beat the Celtics in game two in Boston, if I recall (I don't really follow the NBA. I'm rooting for Boston, but it very well could be the Pistons in the NBA finals who lost to Cleveland last year, a team that went on to lose to the Spurs in the championship.
I happen to have respect for Garnett as a player and person. He seems humble and well spoken and I was impressed with him in a media clip I saw. Lebron James' domineering mother was screaming like a maniac at him from the sidelines for lousy play in one of the games while he was doing a court side interview for a channel the game wasn't shown on, I forget which. Garnett was standing their with a look on his face like he felt serious empathy for Lebron, for his mom's tirade that was clearly embarrassing to Lebron. Garnett has just always struck me as a good guy. It's too bad he plays for the very caste Celtics!
I get the feeling Maximus thinks "all of us" root against "every black athlete" on this site, which isn't the case. All of us just share the goal of wanting fairness in sports to whites. Maximus hasn't shown me yet, that he shares our goal.
