Message-ID: <442@mb2c.UUCP> Date: Mon, 20-Jan-86 13:48:07 EST Article-I.D.: mb2c.442 Posted: Mon Jan 20 13:48:07 1986 Date-Received: Tue, 21-Jan-86 07:35:45 EST Organization: Michigan Bell, Southfield, MI Lines: 14 Both major Detroit papers carried articles in Sunday's editions comparing the 85-86 Lakers with the greatest teams of all time ( the 71-72 Lakers, the 72-73 Bucks, the 64-65 Celtics, the 70-71 Knicks, and the 66-67 Warriors ). After all, the mighty Lakers were coming to town to play the Pistons, losers of 15 of their last 20, on national TV. Final score: Pistons 118, Lakers 115. So much for the "greatest team of all time" ( although I will admit they do have a decent shot at winning 70 games this season, but if they can't beat a struggling Detroit team, who knows... ) -- Mark
