How often do sports fans get to chant something as fun as "Boston Sucks, Boston Sucks!" in their sportsfan lives? For us folks in Phatlanta, it ain't very often. Granted, the Celtics are more than capable of destroying the Hawks over the course of the next two (and hopefully three) games. But when an 8 seed under .500 backdoors into the playoffs and twice takes down the team with the league's best record to tie a playoff series, the fans can chant whatever they want until the next game tips.
I was in the "Highlight Factory" (cartoonishly- lame nickname, but lots of fun) last night with 20,000 rabid fans, and the only sporting events where I've had more fun have all been Georgia football games that we weren't supposed to win, and they were all enhanced by a belly full of Wild Turkey. At the very least, last night was the best professional sporting event I've ever been to by a huge margin.
