Just one of the things that sets CelticsBlog apart from most others.
Silverscreenandroll (Lakers Blog), doesn't have anything like this, and if they did - what in heavens would they call it?
Magic Points? Kobe points? West points?
their point system would be called free throws. Because thats the point system the NBA gives them when they want them to win a game 7 of an NBA finals.
, true.
The funny thing about that game (and series) was that nearly all of us bet our Tommy Points on that series, as solidarity for the team. The agreement was that if BOS pulled that series out, we'd get back double of what we put up, via the Mods, I believe.
None other than Dancing Joey was the lead referee in the "Curious Case of the Boston Celtics' Officiating Malady" in that sad game 7.

The great thing, though, is that the count remains 17-16 BOS...no matter how much the NBA "seemingly" was trying to tie our Banner counts.
Thanks to OKC (and the arrival of Kendrick Perkins) they neutralized the Lakers' Twin Towers back then and after that the Lakers self-destructed. Good.
I've read several crazy threads in Lakerville trying desperately to find, discover, uncover some "secret", forgotten championship that the Lakers were not given credit for, LOL....there was a few years ago on SS& R that even tried to give the DETROIT GEMS' Championship to the grand total of Lakers' Banners
.
Evidently, The DETROIT GEMS were the Minneapolis Lakers WAAYYYY back in the day, and they evidently beat some team in 1948 for a championship - which THANKFULLY is NOT recognized by the NBA, today LOL.
