Los Angles Lakers is my team Azeez. Whoever we play we smash them. Boston Celtics is some trash. Lakers is better than boring Celtics. We go to the "NBA FINALS" ever year if we play the Celtics they can never beat us. Can`t stop "Kobe Bryant". Will make a shot in your face. "LOS ANGLES LAKERS ALL DAY". "BOO Celtics".
1985. 1985 was the 9th time the Lakers and Celtics had met in the finals.

Rick Fox played for the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers
History repeats itself. These two rival team have accumulated all the experience they need to reach the NBA finals. Though they still need to pass through the conference finals with a very competitive teams, it's very much possible for the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers to face each other in the NBA finals this year. It would be a battle of veterans, experience, perseverance and teamwork and would be the best match up of the year.
