    There is nothing that Luka or Jokic do today that Larry didn't do in the 80s.

    Although not shown here, that five-offensive rebound sequence by the Celtics with just over 3:00 left in the game was the dagger for the Pistons.

      That's overlooking the collision between Dantley and Johnson near the end of the third quarter. Dantley left on a stretcher (didn't return) and Johnson was done about four minutes into the fourth quarter. Two very big losses.

      You are correct. They made the finals 3 straight years (should've been a threepeat), and the ECF 5 straight years.

      I think you need to look at the 1988 Conference Finals, they lost twice. They never were as a great as Boston…and they made Thomas look like a fool and Laimbeer was on the floor after the chief bitch slapped him was a great moment 😂😂😂

    Could u imagine how dominant the 86 Celtics would have been if they would have had Jokic,hell they were already dominant anyway,in my opinion the 86 Celtics were the greatest team of all time..

    Man I forgot how close this series and game were. The Celtics were physically outmatched. The Pistons seemed to get more open shots, whereas the Celtics seemed to have to take a lot of risky, closely-guarded shots. The good news was that those shots were on target that day!

    • @dalegriffin6768
      @dalegriffin6768 7 месяцев назад +1

      I wouldn't say physically outmatched, Mchale,Bird and Parish were tough as nails and never got hurt were the couldn't play, now Bird was playing with a bad back, Kevin had bad knees and I think Robert was healthy overall,I have always wondered if Bird & Mchale would have actually been healthy there whole career what there overall winning percentage would be,and they would have had probably 3 more rings..

    I’ve often wondered if the Celtics would’ve won the title ‘87 and maybe even ‘88 had Len Bias been alive and healthy.
    Such a tragedy with regards to life in general, but also sharing from a basketball perspective.

      It was the perfect storm of all the the things that went wrong after the death of Len Bias. It actually started before that with Scott Wedman suffering a career ending injury in 86 conference finals with the Bucks. The Celtics were able to adjust for the Finals but looking back Bird was a little off in the finals. After the death of Bias then Bill Walton injuries acted back up, Mchale breaking his foot later season and not playing at 100%.

      That's fair. By then, they just couldn't keep the entire team healthy anymore.
      In any event, the Pistons were coming on strong in the East & everyone knew what the Bulls were destined to be once Jordan got his supporting cast (which was about to be underway.)
      This & '88 were where the NBA began it's transition from the 80's to what it would become in the 90's.
      Those two decades (80's & 90's) are factually what both saved & made the NBA. Without Magic, Bird (& later MJ), the NBA would have been a memory by now.

      @@frederickjefferson2289 Yeah. Although I'd argue that had he been tossed and missed the remainder of Game 5 and in turn was not suspended for Game 6, it would have been a net negative for the Celtics. Game 6 was an eight-point loss. Games 3 and 4 in Detroit were both blowout losses, even with Parish. Game 5 was anything but a blowout. And if Parish made one more basket (or kept the Pistons from scoring one more basket) than the guy(s) replacing him had he been tossed, the Celtics lose the game and probably the series. Having him for all of Game 5 probably bought the Celtics a mulligan that they wouldn't have otherwise had.

      Meaning the Bulls were babies that love to whine and their fans are still not looking at the Pistons history correctly . The Pistons didn’t mind showing sportsmanship after getting their butts kicked. The reason they did not shake the Bulls hands in 91 is because they were disrespectful to the Pistons by say they didn’t deserve to be champs and they were bad for basketball. The Pistons should have taken the high road but I understand the feeling of being slighted by the Bulls

      @@theafroalien3169 MJ shook the Pistons hands in '89 and '90 when the Pistons beat them, so what you tryna say???? MJ said their style of basketball was bad for the NBA, and it was. There was NO EXCUSE for the Pistons not to show sportsmanship in '91. You can sugar coat it all you want, there was NO EXCUSE. The fact that Edwards, Salley, Dumars and Vinnie Johnson shook hands and congratulated the Bulls, is a further indictment on Isiah Thomas' lack of class and bad sportsmanship.
