Hondo was not a spectacular player by todays standards as he did nothing but play d, rebound, and was super clutch with a killer outside shot. All he did was win!
Petit was a scoring machine!
I think "Decade" squads make sense to capture the best of the era. Duncan is top 50 in most books for sure!
Marv, you have West down twice. Can we get some Clyde?
nalod is a registered 70's-celtics hater!
in the early 70's after russell retired they needed hondo to change his role and become even more of a dominant force. look at the seasons he put together:
70-71 28.9 ppg on 45%fg with 9 rpg and 7.5 apg.
71-72 27.5 ppg on 46%fg with 8.2 rpg and 7.5 apg.
along with the great d, super clutch ability and killer instinct that nalod noted. guy was a superstar, not just a cog in a great machine.
I am a certified Celtic hater!!!!!! Phuch the Redsox whining cuz they got all them Celtic banners! I would trade 5 Yank world series for another Knick title!!!!
Havlichek, Cowens and Jo Jo Phuching White have my ultimate respect but man I hated them!
BTW, Charlie Scott was way too cool for that team! He looked like awful in a celts uniform! They made few mistakes but trading Westphal was one of them. White man in a brothers game in Boston would have worked!
74 celts pissed me off cuz they just seemed to bounch back after Russells retirement and win it all again! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Accept I always liked Don Chaney. Go figure.
Now the Bird/Mchale teams were ok cuz they at least Tiny, Pistol and DJ. ANd I hated the Lakers even more!!!!!
Havlicek was the man! Dude was a stone cold killer!
