The reason he was smiling so widely when the Heat won in the garden
Fuck the Celtics
Yo young fans from yesterday take notes. Fuck the Celtics. Always before everything else.
Riley will ALWAYS be a Laker in his heart.
He won a chip as a player for the Lakers and was the head coach of the Showtime 80’s squad.
Fuck Boston.
Im also convinced that if he stood one more season as the Lakers HC we wouldve beaten the Jordan Bulls squad.
Dunleavy horribly mismanaged that team and was completely outcoached and outclassed by Phil Jackson.
Riley vs Phil was a masterclass in 2 GOAT tier coaches playing Chess against each other-the Riley Knicks squads were no joke.
For those who are too young to remember the ’80s, here are some background articles on Riley and the Celtics.
**The NBA : Pat Riley Writes a Lot of Wrongs About Boston**

” . . . The Boston Mystique encourages the lowest common denominator of fan behavior. It grows directly out of the low-rent attitudes of Boston management. They’re the Klingons of the NBA. I respect the individual players . . . but the organization and its traditions are out of date.”
**Celtics still get Pat Riley riled up**

“Danny Ainge needs to shut the f— up and manage his own team,” Riley said in a statement issued by the team. “He was the biggest whiner going when he was playing and I know that because I coached against him.”
Miami all the way. Fuck the Celtics.
