Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 3388477, member: 767"] In the 80s, the Lakers won 5 titles and made the finals 10 times (taking it through 91, so 10 times in 12 years) The Celtics won 3 titles and made the finals 5 times. If they switched conferences, I wonder how different those numbers would be. The Celtics did seem to get older faster, so they may not have kept the run going in the end of the 80s/early 90s, but take 1988; Celtics won 57 games and lost in the ECF to the Pistons, the Lakers beat a 53 win Mavericks team in the west finals. Switch those series, and I can easily see Boston at least making the finals. I can easily see Boston adding finals appearances in 80, 82, 86, and 88. [/QUOTE]
