The k sound comes from the old old Greek term Keltoi, which has unknown origins and only recently has re-emerged with general interest in Celtic culture.

It's generally pronounced (in Europe as well as Boston) with a S sound because that's how English works. There is actually a Celtic Football Club in Glasgow that pronounces it the same way.

I tried to give basketball a chance but the Raptors suck ass! Not worth the money to go or the time to watch. Also 90% of the players in the NBA are assholes from the ghetto and treat fans like shit, so I say F*CK'em.

The Blazers blow....the former GM was a douche bag. Only team worth watching was the Utah Jazz when John Stockton and Karl Malone played.

In my opinion, the celtics care alot about their fans and that's what I love.

Living in Utah I support this comment. Team hasnt been the same since everyone retired. Only thing that kept us from a few rings were Jordan and the Bulls. I was there when he pushed B Russ out of the way and clinched that finals game....

Curling is f*cking boss. I watch all of it I can during the winter olympics.

lets go hawks! i am pretty excited for the NBA season also. I would also like to add that i believe basketball is the best sport to watch in person at an arena just for the fact that the seats literally go right down onto the court and if you sit close you realize just how huge and athletic those guys are.

Exactly ! Watching it in person is amazing. I sat right up close to the court and got a perfect view of Kevin Garnett! He is tall as hell!! Haha. Loved it!

You have to be pretty gay to dibble a ball and shoot it through a hole.

You are wrong sir! Hockey is the best sport to watch live! It's fast and explosive non-stop action keeps you on the edge of your seat and at anytime during the game a fight can break out! Hockey fights are awsome! Basketball players look like sissy's when they fight, it's actually embarrassing. Hockey fights can sometimes be better and bloodier then some MMA and pro boxing fights. The only good thing about basketball live are all the hot chicks that come to watch the game and the cheerleaders.

Just thought right now would be a good time to let you know that girls have holes too.

ALL I GOT TO SAY IS LETS GO HEAT!!!!!

and before you all flame me for being a fanboy, I have been watching Miami since i was young, I remember the Magic of watching D-wade as a rookie almost every night. To this day my favorite heat Moment is Game 3 of the 2006 finals where D-wade took over in the final 6 minutes. 2011-2012 was a great season but far from the most exciting for Miami in my opinion. But once again i say we are likely favorites due to the additions of Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis. It should be a fun season to watch, I expect Another Finals featuring Miami and either Oklahoma city or clippers (lol). CLips got alot of young talent and a solid foundation, the other west teams are aging and will have a hard time keeping up.


Regardless here are my playoff teams

EAST
1. Miami
2. Chicago
3. Indiana
4. Philly
5. New York
6. Atlanta
7.Boston
8. New Jersey/Brooklyn (unsure but i have faith in the young Nets rebounding and getting the 8th spot, the other teams have not done nearly as much improvement and i see New jersey slipping in at 37-45)

Eastern Champ MIAMI

West
1. Oklahoma
2. San antonio
3. Denver
4. La clippers
5. La Lakers
6. Memphis
7. Dallas
8. Houston ( they are impressive and have retooled a bit I see them going 42-40 and securing the 8 spot)

West champ
Oklahoma city


FINALS Heat will win in 6

The Capt. is right....hockey is a better sport to watch live. But, I would say minor league hockey is best. The fights happen more often!

Don't..............talk about it.
