The Boston Celtics routed the badly overrated Los Angeles Lakers 131-92 Tuesday night at the TD Banknorth Garden to win their 17th championship in franchise history. Thousands upon thousands of newly-minted Celtics fans swarmed the streets of Beantown to celebrate their team’s decisive Game 6 victory over the West Coast Fakers.
The number 17 is a very ironic numeral regarding the rebirth of the storied Celtics organization. Boston won their 17th crown on the 17th day of June and before this season there was a grand sum of 17 Celtics fans in the entire New England region. Now, because the Celtics have returned to prominence for the first time since the Reagan Administration, the entire northeast is cloaked in shamrock green and rejoicing like wasted leprechauns.
As former Celtics Head Coach and motivational speaker Rick Pitino once said regarding the city of Boston and its fans, “This town sucks.”
Amen, Rick.

In Boston Colin is known as Itchy or cupcake.
He also predicted a Laker championship which he fails to mention or has conveniently forgotten. Yeah Itchy the Lakers are over rated - just like you.
Itchy - How'd the Knicks do this year? Laughing stock of all of the sports world that's how.
Itchy - you are nothing but jealous loser, the NY version of our Rob Stein and a spoiled little girl and a cry baby. Waaaaaawaaaaaawaaaaaaa
Itchy will be at Yankee Stadium Thursday - you can't miss him - he's the type of guy you just want to punch in the head when you see him - do yourself a favor NY fans and don't hold back - succumb to your primal instinct and just walk up to him and punch him in the mouth - he makes you all look bad.
