Celtics Now Big Faves To Be The First NBA Team To Overcome A (3-0) Deficit, The Stars Are Still “Out There,” Down (3-2)
In 1981, the Boston Celtics defeated a team from Texas, the Houston Rockets in 6 games, to win their 14th NBA crown and after that win in a delayed tape broadcast, that number of titles represented an astounding 40 percent of the 35 NBA titles.
The Dallas Stars, then in Minnesota, as the North Stars, made its league’s final for the first time in what was the franchise’s 14th season, but were 5’d by a repeat New York Islanders crown.
While the Stars, as were the Celtics, down (3-0) in its “semi” (Boston/Miami and Dallas/Las Vegas), doubled the Golden Knights (4-2) in an ABC tilt to force #6 concurrently with the East 7th as Derrick White snuck in and put back a Smart miss, yielding #7 for TNT, with Boston opening as an 8 point fave in a now likely, even very likely (but be careful as the idiots that comprise the mainstream media, those same ones who ripped the Celtics and their coach Mazzullo, after they fell down (3-0), will consider a Boston #7 win, an automatic and it is not!) first in 151 occurrence.
Again, be careful as a Celtics’ win, while likely, is far from automatic.
Hopefully before #7NBA East and #6 NHL West, some better notes here.
