Three Degrees Of Pat Caputo

Three reasons to groan during another NBA Finals between the Lakers and the Celtics:
1. The constant showing of celebrities at the games in LA. Hollywood types are the most notorious of all bandwagon riders. You never see them at the Clippers' games, do you?

In the era anybody really cares about, the Pistons and Spurs have been nearly as good. You never hear about those teams, though.
