Boston Public Enemy #30*


Leave it up to Atlanta Hawks guard Mike Bibby to light the fire with the Boston fans. Bibby stuck it to Boston Celtics' fans before practice Tuesday. "They were kind of loud at the beginning," he said. "But a lot of these fans are bandwagon jumpers trying to get on this now. I played here last year, too. And I didn't see three-fourths of them. They're for the team now and they might get a little rowdy but that's about it."

When asked if he thought they were fair-weather fans, joining the party only after Boston's offseason trades that brought the Kid and Jesus Shuttlesworth to Beantown, Bibby didn't hesitate to pour more gasoline on the fire. "You could say that," he said. "I remember them having bags on their heads last year. It's a different look. I guess that's what happens when you win."

To be fair, he's right. The Banknorth TD Garden has had spotty attendance in recent years. But can you blame the fans? It's hard to watch when your team keeps losing.

If you're wondering why Public Enemy #30, then you have to consider the Yankees and their owners first before you can count anyone else. Bwahahaha!
