The Lakers have never beat the Celtics in a 7th game of the finals.
Could this be the year?
Jack,
Very possible of course.
The year was 1985. Lakers were 8-0 against the Celts in their Finals Rivalry. The year before they just lost a bruising 7 game series to the Celts which made it 8-0. But 1985 they were not to be denied. With almost the same cast of starters they had a rematch. The result was Lakers in 6, clinching the game winner by 11 points at the Boston Garden. Anything is possible. Stats are all tabulated after the event, they cannot and do not affect nor control the outcome of any game. Any team winning will be eventful again for the statisticians. An LA win will add the stats for overcoming a 2-3 deficit, and a Boston win will add to those that won a game 7 on the road. One thing for sure tomorrow, it's the last day of David Stern's grand hoola and on to the LeBron James and D Wade Sweepstakes. lol
