    OldFart, you're the one with low self-esteem. I'm a Celtic fan who doesn't need to go to Laker forums to talk trash. I don't need to educate any NBA fan. You really think you can convince Celtic fans to agree with Laker trolls? If you think you can then you're crazy.

    After the Lakers won Game 7 I congratulated the Laker fans on this board and moved on. I'm not one of those who kept whining about the FT discrepancy of Game 7. Get your facts straight.

    In Response to Re: What's with the Lakers schedule? : I live in LA now.  I have spoken with many lakers fans, and called in the local ESPN radio station.  ALL agree on one thing.  In 2008, the lakers realized they couldn't win with Kwame Brown at center, so they HAD to make a trade.  Pau Gasol fell in their laps, who would say no? They also agree that IF Bynum never got hurt, the lakers would not have felt compelled to trade for Gasol.  It's not logic, it's fact.  Even the trolls on here know that.......except for one - the one who thinks he knows more about basketball than all of us.  I'm a ref, but I don't know the rules, according to him.  I did more research than he did on this Gasol trade topic, yet my "logic" is somehow flawed, and I need an education.  If you poll 100 people and 99 agree...................yep, he's the ONE!!
    Posted by hedleylamarr


    I heard that, too.  Didn't they trade a retired player for Gasol?  Don't know, but I know it was well after Bynum got hurt!

    Oh, you don't like the phrase "big time era"? Try "Modern era":

    http://thehoopdoctors.com/online2/2009/09/10-greatest-nba-champions-1-95-96-bulls/

    "With this season’s NBA Finals behind us, I decided to take a look back and rank the greatest NBA Championship teams in the modern era(post 1980)."

    http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ac-6923976

    "Modern Era Stars The Bird-Johnson rivalry catapulted the NBA into American living rooms on a regular basis"

    Or how about the "golden era":

    http://www.nba.com/2010/news/features/shaun_powell/06/30/free.agency/index.html

    much like Jordan, Bird and Magic did during the Golden Era,

    Care to cite where I said the NBA "started in 1980"?

    In Response to Re: What's with the Lakers schedule? :  The Celtics obviously lost to other teams but as the conversation was about the specific Lakers-Celtics franchises I didn't feel the need to deviate as other people do. I mean I could have mentioned your losses to Houston as an example where you didn't reach the Finals and we did but I decided to stick to the main theme.

    The main theme in the NBA is about winning the Championship, not about winning the championship only against a particular team. Don't you know that?

    So you want to count Houston? sure

    Houston 81, Houston 86

    vs

    76ers 80, 76ers 82, Pistons 88, Pacers 00, 76ers 01, Nets 02, Magic 09

    7-2? So what about them?

    See, maybe you don't know about that, but the league has more than 2 teams. And there are many years that the Celtics don't make the finals. Those years count too, Oui?


    And if the NBA started in the "big-time" era and the Lakers dominated that era, why is it that you still can't surpass Boston in Championships.

    Why bother? the Lakers' edge in the big-time era (10-4) is already good enough to make them the best franchise in league history. Go ahead, ask me for the link when John Hollinger name them the #1 franchise. Go ahead and ask.


    I mean we did have a 22 year drought and you still couldn't do it.

    You have the 22 year drought and that make you tied for the #3 franchise in the big-time era, 6 titles behind the Lakers. Don't you know?

    If I had thought this thread would be infected with Laker fans I would never have started it.  My only point was the schedule for them was starting so easy. Their pathetic presence on this board is a minor annoyance but begs the question over and over what is wrong with these losers. Go on a Laker BB somewhere where Kobe is not a pampered racist but a hero and Paul Gasol was brought to you in an incredibly intricate deal where Laker personnel just outsmarted all other suitors. And where Ron Artest is not mentally ill but a really good guy.  We can live with you here but what is wrong with all of you?

    In Response to Re: What's with the Lakers schedule? : ' If you don't like Lakers fans on this board, you can make this forum private that requires presence of Celtics season tickets as well as background check. As for a public forum, this is what you get. You get people tooting the same horn as you but you also get people who tell you the cruel truth. Show me a rule that this forum is opened only to Celtic fanatics. I don't speak for other Laker fans but I sense we have the same objective. Going to the Laker board? why bother? The Laker fans there don't need our help to straighten things out. It's the fans like Headless Lamar (aka BirdisCoward) and p34 HERE that need to be educated. Look at Headless' illogic: if Bynum is not injured there would be no Gasol. I can't believe that he told the same illogic again and again as if telling it frequent enough would make it true. Was Bynum's injury career ending? If not, then why can't Bynum recover on time to play alongside Gasol in the playoffs?
    Posted by OldFirm


    To educate Celtic fans? Really?

    You trolls are just lucky that the mods on this board are lenient.

    What's illogic is you choosing when to start counting the championships of the Lakers and Celtics.

    The difference between you and me is I'm not trying to educate Laker fans. Expecting Laker fans to bleed green is just stupid. You, on the other hand, try to convert Celtic fans into Laker fans. As if it will happen. It's either you're delusional or a moron.

    That has to be one of the worst lists of championship teams that I've ever seen. But I guess those people are paid to write such articles.

    I agree with number one and a few of the other teams, but in order for me.

    95/96 Bulls
    86/87 Lakers
    64/65 Celtics
    66/67 Sixers
    71/72 Lakers
    96/67 Bulls (great encore performance after 95/96)
    85/86 Celtics
    82/83 Sixers
    70/71 Bucks
    91/92 Bulls

    Just off my list are are the 88/89 Pistons.

    From what I've read and what I've seen basketball has been weakened by expansion and rule changes which have on one hand diluted the league and changed the game invariably into every decade.

    I think that it's actually easier now to compete than in was during the 80's or in earlier decades. I'd like to see the Miami Heat play against the 1989 Pistons under the rules from 1989.
