STOUDEMIRE SHOWS HIS CIVIC PRIDE AT D-BACKS GAME: At least *one* NBA star knows how to root, root, root for the home team:

That’s Phoenix Suns forward Amare Stoudemire on the left, standing up and gettin’ down with Baxter the Bobcat at Chase Field on Friday night. Amare was showing his moves and support for Arizona in Game 1 of the NLCS against Colorado.

Baxter the Bobcat? Why a team named the Diamondbacks wouldn’t have a cutesy snake-like creature as their mascot is beyond us:

Well, we guess it’s better than a tri-colored triceratops:

Then again, Dinger is already up 2-0 on ol’ Bax.

Anyway, it was nice of Amare to show up and back the ‘Backs. LeBron could learn a little from him and The Answer.

So, which Celtic will be found at Fenway for Game 2? They don’t have an NBA game slated for Saturday. Paul Pierce? Kevin Garnett?

Whoever ends up heading for Yawkey Way, Doc Rivers can point them in the right direction.
