Long time Pats hater and LA Times columnist Bill Plaschke may be starting to get it. After game four he didn't - all he could do was blame the Lakers for choking and failed to give the Celtics any credit at all for the ir defense and the win. Then yesterday rather than credit Doc Rivers, Mr. Negativity blamed Phil Jackson for the loss.
Today however Plaschke notes the difference in Laker fans at the Staples Center and Celtics fans in Boston - though it is still more complaining about LA rather than finding a way to give credit to anything associated with a team from this area.

A weary team was trying to guard a refreshed team, yet rarely were there cries of "Dee-fense, dee-fense."
That the Lakers lost is certainly not the fault of folks whose $300 entitles them do to whatever they please.
But during a postseason when home-court advantage reached historic levels, it's important to note that Boston has it in shamrocks, and the Lakers only barely.
