The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend?

I am watching the Celtic-Heat basketball game tonight.  They are playing in the East conference finals, trying to get into the championship.  One of the announcers commented on a famous person, in the audience, who is a noted Knicks fan. This person was sitting with a Celtics executive. The announcer railed against this celebrity fraternizing with "the enemy." The announcer basically said if you are a Knicks fan, you CAN NOT cheer for any other team, although the Knicks are not in the post-season tournament.

What do you think?  Is the enemy of my enemy my friend? 

I deal with this frequently.  I am an unusual baseball fan:  I like the Yankees and the Red Sox.  If the Red Sox are playing, I want them to win.  If the Yankees are playing, I want them to win. If the Yankees and the Red Sox are playing against each other, I want the game to go into extra innings.

Now, here comes the hard part, who do I want to win, when the Yankees and Red Sox are playing together?  Hmmm. Shall I tell you? I think not.  Somethings are better left unsaid.
