Note: 8 of the 16 champions won by the Boston Celtics have been won against the L.A./Minneapolis Lakers. With wins in the
1958-'59 (defeated Minneapolis Lakers 4-0) 1961-'62 (defeated Los Angeles Lakers 4-3) 1962-'63 (defeated Los Angeles Lakers 4-2) 1964-'65 (defeated Los Angeles Lakers 4-1) 1965-'66 (defeated Los Angeles Lakers 4-3) 1967-'68 (defeated Los Angeles Lakers 4-2) 1968-'69 (defeated Los Angeles Lakers 4-3) 1983-'84 (defeated Los Angeles Lakers 4-3)
If the Celts can win against the Pistons tonight they can relive history and probably and hopefully make history. My pick is the Boston Celtics all the way in my opinion to have the best record deserves a champion(unlike the NewEngland Patriots). The Lakers are a playoff team but History will happen again and the L.A. Lakers will once again lose to the Boston Celtics like they did 8 times before.
