Let's get this straight...Lakers 5

Celtics.....3

Philly...1

Detroit..1

In the 80's, the Hick from French Lick,and his thug buddies, beat the LAKERS
IN THE FINALS.......1 TIME.........1.........LAKERS beat them in the finals ....2 times........2 versus 1...........5 rings in the 80' s versus 3.Facts are the facts,but people sometimes don't like to hear the facts.Facts are that this was a cheating Machiavellian organization that forced Championship games to be played in sweltering conditions in the Boston Garden.If they couldn't win fairly ,they often would "get more physical." That's what this band of thugs called it when McHale (in response to Carr's pleadings from the bench ) clotheslined a player on the way for a lay-up.That organization (in the 80's) will forever be known as the least classy Professional Sports Organization that ever existed.
