Who are you happiest for on the Celtics team, or in the Celtics family?

For me it's easy, Paul Pierce.  No questions asked or explanation needed.


Who was it most satisfying to beat?

Obviously Kobe and Phil for their arrogance.  Their the top of the list.  I  also really hate Odom, I always have and tackling Ray and his actions in this Finals didn't do anything to make me not.  I also love beating Sasha, I mean how could you not?


Thoughts?
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

For me, it's KG, I've been a huge fan of his for a long time, he deserves it. Of course as does everybody in the Celtics organisation, it was a total team effort. Ubuntu!

And beating Kobe is definitely most enjoyable, what more needs to be said? He's a laker, and he's a faker.
Anything is possible!!!

Pierce. The validation he must feel now. This says it all:

Quote
"They came in as a group, and I thought we should take them out as a group," Rivers said. "They all said 'Thank you,' and I said 'Thank you' back. Paul ... it's just so sweet. He just kept saying 'Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for sticking with me again,' and I kept saying the same thing to him. So it was really a nice moment."

Happiest:   ALL The Cs family.

Love Beating:   You should have seen the drunken thugs in the 300s section of game 5.   They chased us out of there, picking fights, mob mentality.   I wish I could see those cats faces tonight!!!!!

I'm happy for everyone right now. Especially KG, PP, RA, Doc and PJ.

I am so happy we beat Vujacic, Kobe, Phil and Lamar.

It's hard, because I'm so happy for KG and Ray and Doc and the rest, but first and foremost it's Paul, absolutely ... he's carried this team for so many years, and the rest of the world finally gets to see at least a bit of why this guy has been so under-rated and unrecognized as the great ball player he is.

The persona I love beating the most is Kobe, without a doubt ... his arrogance and selfishness were no match for a true "team", no matter how many points he's capable of scoring. Defense beats offense every time, and team beats individual every time ... and the Celtics epitomized both.

This was the only game I got to go to all year, and I'm glad it was this one! Awesome!

I don't know.. tough to differentiate between the 3.  I should say Paul, but I am super, super stoked for Ray Allen right now.  He's been through a ton, had perhaps been every bit as underrated as Paul for his career, and could have easily walked away with the Finals MVP with no real complaints from anyone.  So awesome. So happy for him.  Pure class.

Geez.  How can you not be happy for all of the New Big Three (which they are now)?

Garnett didn't just get that monkey off his back, he tore it off, broke it's legs and then made it watch him eat an entire bunch of bananas.  Ray was absolutley on FIRE in the second half which made every trade suggestion ridiculous (which is what I did when I asked if Michael Redd would be available this summer), and Pierce...you can't say enough about our Captain and how much this must have meant to him.  He's a true Celtic.
We're the ones we've been waiting for.

I'm happiest for Paul. 

I'm also happy for Doc, who endured a brunt of the blame over the last couple of years.   People need to stop asking him about his dad, though!   I feel like the press is starting to take advantage of the fact that he's so emotional about the passing of his father.

Paul Pierce

I don't dislike anyone significant on the Lakers so nobody. Nor the Pistons. Nor the Cavs (well one guy a lil bit but not enough to rub it in). Now the Hawks they have Mike Bibby, I enjoyed the Celtics and Rajon Rondo in particular making a show of him. I dislike Mike Bibby.

i wanted to say ray, pierce, doc, red, danny etc. etc. etc.

but one stands out. watching the interview straight after, with "we are the champions" blaring in the background, kg screamd "anything's possible" and broke down to tears. that was a tear-jerking moment and this means so, so much to him.

you're certified, kev.

I'm happy for them all.....they all worked hard for this but.....if I had to pick one.....it'd have to be PP.

He's a Celtic through and through.

He deserved that championship just as much as anyone who's ever played the game did.

PP- because he will finally be recognized by non-Celtic fans as one of the great players. But happy for everyone- they really did buy into the team concept in deeds and not just words.
And who do I love beating the most--  the Knicks always. They suck now and hopefully forever.

I'm happiest for everyone. All the fans, the players, the management. Everyone that stuck with the C's for so long and now see their faith come through. Everyone. They all deserve it.

Who love beating the most? Everyone. For sure. The Lakers, the other 28 teams, the media, other fans, the 'analysts', everyone who ever doubted us. Just feel so amazing right now.
