I'll take the Celtics.....

The Lakers might defeat the Celtics, however your TD says:

" The top 10 Lakers of all time as a squad destroys any other franchise.."

Won't happen to this team!

G-Bob Cousy Hall of Fame (6 Rings)
G-John Havilcek Hall of Fame (9 Rings)
F-Tommy Heinson Hall of Fame (9 Rings/Player...2 as Head Coach)
F-Larry Bird Hall of Fame (3 Rings)
C-Bill Russell Hall of Fame (11 Rings/Player...2 as Head Coach)

G-Dennis Johnson
G-Bill Sharman
F-Kevin McHale
F-Paul Pierce
C-Robert Parrish

Coach: Red Auerbauch



*Celtics all-time winning % at home is .704
*Celtics starting line-up: 42 Rings, 5 HOF
*Celtics have two complete teams, Lakers have 4 Centers



Win....maybe/probably

Destroy....NO WAY!


I guess I should've never said DESTROY? lol I know I picked too many Centers but I tried my best to pick the TOP 10 instead of trying to have every position on the bench. Kobe can play the SF. Mikan can play the power forward and Magic Johnson played 5 position so I'm pretty sure they would not have any problems especially if importance of the game keeps the rotation to 8 players.

And I don't think RINGS should be too significant in your argument because of the run the Celtics had when they won 8 championships in a row in a washed up league.

Now lets look at this by every position.

Magic Johnson vs Bob Cousy
I think we have arguably the #1 and #2 point "gods" in NBA history. The edge obviously goes to Magic.

John Havilcek vs Kobe - Edge: Kobe.. It will be hard to argue against #24 at SG unless you use probably the only 2 words he ever feared; Michael, & Jordan

Tom Heinsohn vs Elgin Baylor - Edge: Elgin Baylor no doubt.

Larry Bird vs James Worthy - Edge: Bird... though Worthy would do the best job out of any player in limiting Bird.

Bill Russell vs Kareem - Offensive beast vs Defensive Beast, Edge : Tie

Score after 1st Qtr LA: 34 - Boston: 26


1.)There's no way Lakers score 34 against Boston in any quarter!

2.)"And I don't think RINGS should be too significant in your argument because of the run the Celtics had when they won 8 championships in a row in a washed up league.".....um, don't think I need to comment on this comment.

3.) Your head to head comparison was...interesting.

4.) And yes, you shouldn't have said "Destroy". You limit your arguments.








5.) Good luck with your third argument.


"1.)There's no way Lakers score 34 against Boston in any quarter!"..... I think you're forgetting that if Kobe gets hot and score 34 in a quarter by himself. Not counting Elgin Baylor and Kareem who are maybe two of the top 10 prolific scores in NBA history. ANNDDDD.. Magic is running the point!!!

SHOOOWWWTIIIIIMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S.
I'm like the 09 Cleveland Cavaliers. Came in celebrating, goofing around with unlimited confidence but got my ass kicked and I'm leaving without shaking hands..

Ok, but you kind of wasted your last argument.

There isn't much more I can address from your last points.
