Hi Mark and Doug:
As a fellow Celts fan, I urge you to forget about the 16-11 situation
(which includes the Fakers' five Minnesota-era championships sometime back in
the Pleistocene era), and contemplate the accurate tally as 8-2 (an .800
winning percentage for Boston). To wit:

Joe, I knew this is how C's fans will feel, but the reality is that now the 
record is 16 championships Celtics, 12 championships Lakers, and where the 
Lakers were during some of those championships is not relevant to all but 
the most die hard of basketball (Celtic) purists.

Maybe, HOPEFULLY, the Celtic's organization will start thinking about this 
as well, and realize that they have to get a lot better very 
quickly.  Sadly, Red is probably the only one in management to realize the 
significance of it all.....
