    Wow in the same year....I think I can remember the Eagles and the Sixers but the rest I don't know for sure.

    That's outstanding but another championship would've really set them apart.

    Well 3 in today's game is closer then you think to 4 in 1980 given that there are 25+% more teams now compared to then across the 4 major sports.

    SHOW COUNT: (164) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=108, US=118, CAN=15, Europe=20 ,New Zealand=4, Australia=5
    Mexico=1, Colombia=1

    Look in the dictionary under the word "choke" for a picture of the Yankees. :)

    i think that word has been replaced by the mets.

    yeah, the yanks obviously choked but they only lost 4 games. the mets on the other hand f'ed up an entire month and a half of baseball last season.

    Ainge put the team together....but it was Tom Tibideau's defense that won that title. He deserves much praise to...he will be a head coach soon enough and he deserves it too
