1973-1974 Boston Celtics: Championship #12
In 1972-1973, the Celtics had the league MVP (Dave Cowens) and the league’s best record in the regular season at a Celtics’ all-time best 68-14, before seeing Havlicek get hurt in the playoffs and championship hopes go down the drain.
In ’73-’74, the Celtics again featured Havlicek and Cowens as the stars, and surrounded them with a great supporting cast consisting of Jo Jo White, Paul Silas, Don Nelson, Don Chaney, and a young Paul Westphal.
The Celtics finished best in the Eastern Conference during the regular season, with a 56-26 record. They placed six players in double digit scoring, and were known for their tenacity down low, provided by Silas and Cowens.
They would go on to defeat the Buffalo Braves, New York Kickerbockers and Milwaukee Bucks to become NBA champions, dispatching the Bucks in a tightly-contested seven-game series.

Ron Paul is the only Republican I will vote for. Fox News advertised politicians do the complete opposite of Republican platform and you try to cast Dr. Paul off as the kook? Well, look who won the CPAC poll despite the smears and misinformation. Fox Antics=FAIL!
