    Not really considering Havlicek was known for his great role off the bench, so if you look at it that why. And if we are goin based on players in their prime, replace McHale with Walton.

    How in the world could you even consider Walton over McHale? Walton came here at the end of his career to tag along for another ring. McHale was the star in Boston, Walton was great - but in Portland, not here.

    PG: Bob Cousy
    SG: Paul Pierce
    SF: Larry Bird
    PF: Kevin McHale
    C: Bill Russell
    Coach: Red Auerbach

    That lineup is pretty much unarguable.

SunnyD has the perfect lineup. Russell was better than Parish IMHO.

    Guys, read my post. I said if we are going based on players in their primes. Obviously I know McHale did more for the C's. Chill...
