Southern California basketball fans likely aren't in love with the possibility of a Golden State Warriors-Boston Celtics NBA Finals. The Celtics can punch their ticket to the Finals today with a win over the Heat in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, where the Warriors are already. Seeing bay area sports teams on the doorstep of a championship is never enjoyable, but there's some extra salt in the wound for Lakers fans.

Seeing a northern California sports team eye a championship is tough enough, seeing them pass up a legendary Lakers trio makes it that much more difficult to stomach.
