I am sure this has been covered 85,000 times on the board, but can I get the cliffs as to how you root for Habs/Celts?

sure no problem. Ready? here we geaux!

I did not really become a fan of roundball until the early 80's. I am from Louisiana. As you should know the jazz left NOLA in the late 70's, so we had no team here when i got into roundball.

my fathers favorite team was the celts so voila!

now, i have watched hockey since the late 70's as a kid. i watched atlanta flames games i think on TBS. I watched the great final between the oilers-flyers in 87 where big ronnie hextall won the conn smythe on the losing team. I did not really have a favorite until early 90's when hockey was shown more on ESPN. It was the habs. loved the tradition, the jersey, the culture(ya know they speak non-parisian french in quebec and south Louisiana). there you go.

so basically no basketball(hornets did not come til waaay later) or hockey teams in Louisiana. same with baseball which is why i am a braves fan. the saints and LSu were all we had here.
