Since you like history so much, let's look at the Celtics history.

You must enjoy getting owned. Silly Celtic fans still riding the coattails of their only legitimate dynasty. Lakers own the Celtics since then!

That will be change soon. you know it deep down. History shows you can't compete anymore with LA. Your 11-5 lead has been outscored 9-5 since Russell left.
What history? The '85 and '87 Finals? No players from either of those teams will be suiting up for this year's Finals. Good one, Lakers fan
Well, let me be specific. Boston used to have a habit of fielding good teams, rebuilding as do the Lakers. However, as I pointed out in one of these threads, the Celtic history since Russell retired has not been anywhere near what the 60's Celtics did. Matter of fact, it's pathetic for the number of times they had best record in the 70's and 80's. Search my recent posts, it's there.What history? The '85 and '87 Finals?

Yeah, as a matter of fact, no one from 1985 and 1987 is playing, although Kareem and Rambis are coaching on the Laker bench, and Magic is behind the scenes. But that's part of what makes certain franchises great. Lakers know how to rebuild, as do your Spurs. Great franchises know how to retool and win again. you can expect your team to win a few more in the next decade and beyond if history has taught you anything, and this decade is still alive.
Just because I am a Laker fan doesn't mean I am the bad guy. I contribute well thought out stuff here, and I actually like your team a lot. For now, history says Boston hasn't had much since Russell retired and nothing for over 20 years. It's pretty much this season or bust for them. Lakers will be a factor for as long as Kobe keeps his game intact.
Just remember that great teams rebuild when need be. Lakers have proven it, and so have the Spurs. Not too many other teams can match what they've done.
Hahah, that's a joke. If you look at the teams, those were series in which the home team was significantly better than the away team. Even the format can't help you there.
But if you break down the more even series, the away team won. Add to that the Home team has never won all 3 middle games.
The better road team almost always wins in a 2-3-2 format.
Lakers in 5. Hope that helps you sleep better at night Sarge.
Celtics chant "Beat LA"
Kobe will stomp on their throats.
The Celtics won 11 of their 16 les before 1970.
They aren't even close to being the greatest franchise in the modern NBA. That goes to the Lakers who have nearly double the amount of les and far more Finals appearances. The Lakers have managed to win les in every era of the NBA and you will never see them suck donkey for two straight decades like the Celtics have.
All you need to know is those same diehard Celtic fans who are out talking now were chanting MVP for Kobe last year. Chew on that.
Sorry, Boston fans...get ready for another heartbreak...the Lakers are gonna destroy the Celtics...it's not even a contest, really...
Lakers in 5...
Here's a list of Do's and Don'ts for Lakers fans at their home games. I stole this and have no intention of providing a link.
Do arrive late. Like five minutes before the first quarter ends. You don't want the Celtics fans thinking you are actually nervous about the game or don't have more important things to do besides watch the Lakers.
Do text incessantly on your Blackberry. It makes you look important at the game.
Do eat the sushi and pass on the nachos. It's so tacky to eat commoners food at Staples Center.
Don't get loud if the Lakers are losing. Be as quiet as a mouse, as usual. You don't want to give the television viewing audience the impression that, by golly, Lakers fans really do root for their team even if they are losing.
Don't stay til the end of the game. Traffic is your major priority, not the game.
Do find some chores you've been meaning to do (if watching the game from home) when the Lakers go into a mini shooting-slump. Or watch Tivo'd episodes of Lost. Just keep hitting the "last" button on your remote to check when they make a comeback so you can be the good fan that you are and cheer them on.
Do use the word "hater" for anyone who isn't impressed with the Lakers' performance.
Do trust Jack's body language for the definitive answer as to how well the referees are making the calls. He knows more about the game than those refs. Just ask him.
Do talk on your cell phone the minute the camera is focused on you, and wave like an #### while telling your friend on the phone you're on TV. This is one way to be discovered in La-La land.
Do wear your Armani shirt and jeans to the game instead of a Lakers jersey. The fact that you paid $2500 for a seat should be proof enough that you're a fan.
Don't forget to take your pet chihuahua out of your Louis Vuitton tote at half-time and let him relieve himself.
Do keep your sunglasses on during the game. It makes you look important and it hides those red eyes from the dry tails you had pre-game.
Do have a prepared list of excuses in case the Lakers lose. The most tried and true excuses include: "Kobe is hurt", "we didn't match-up well", "we had too much rest", "we play better on the road", "the refs hate us", "Kobe needs more help", "Kobe was a ball-hog", "we were looking ahead", "Garnett is a crybaby and got he refs' sympathies", "we weren't expected to win", "no one thought we would get this far anyway", "Ray Allen is a flopper", and "they have more veterans."
This from the franchise that chanted Kobe for MVP at home?
Don't forget 2004, we lost those to Detroit. However, that loss is the motivation that will carry this Laker team through.Hahah, that's a joke. If you look at the teams, those were series in which the home team was significantly better than the away team. Even the format can't help you there.
But if you break down the more even series, the away team won. Add to that the Home team has never won all 3 middle games.

Lakers in four; Celtics can't score.
C's in 6
Is Mav fan trying to talk about the Lakers?
Haven't been relevant in 20+ years.
Lakers > Celtics
and
Magic > Bird
Seriously. How ing pathetic.
The '04 Pistons say hi. Funny you don't remember that seeing how they beat your team in that series. The '06 Heat send their regards as well.
In case you meant the team with HCA hasn't ever won the middle three away games, the '91 Bulls also say o. Guess who's court they came to and swept all three games? That's right, the Lakers.
Seriously, did you just start watching the NBA this year?
So if the Celtics 16 les are discredited because they haven't been relevant for 20 years, can we discredit you and 99% of your fellow Lakers fans when you play the 14 rings card even though most of you weren't even born when they won those 5 les in Minny?
These are the guys that were Suns fans from July '04 until April '08.
Wrong. The Lakers have won 9 les since the 70's. 1 in the 70's, 5 in the 80's, and 3 from 2000-2002.
The Lakers have pretty much won in every decade and have made it to the Finals countless times. They've always been a relevant team, unlike the Celtics who haven't come close to sniffing a trophy since the 80's.
Hahah, 1 series in 25 years? That's all the research you could bring up with your basketball "knowledge". I was recalling from memory, so I missed 1. If anything, you proved that once in 25 years ain't good odds. Thanks.
Once in 25 years needing a Jordan in his prime and and a declining Magic, I'll take those chances. Lakers in 5
Why don't you go do some research on that first unless you're so old you can only remember the 50s and 60s? Your Celtics haven't won in 2 decades. How old are you? 60?
