SOOOOOOOOOOOO bad for SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long !! To be quite honest with you, I think that it's important in every sport to have either an east coast team or a west coast team at the top of their sport...it seems to really "amp-up" the interest in each sport. Could you imagine what kind of ratings a Celtic / Lakers finals would have (although the only way the Lakers will make it there is by buying tickets ). If the Celtics continue on, it would only serve to boost the sagging NBA Finals ratings.

Plus, I'd really like to see Kevin Garnett win something before he retires .
