I only got 1 correct.. the 14 championships. It was a lucky guess too

Blah, I missed 3 (selected Riley) and 8 (selected 20). I can't imagine anyone knowing off the top of their head how many times we've beaten the Celts without just throwing a wild guess out there.

6/8

missed the Bruin question and the Celtics question

Post #14 » by **dockingsched** » Sat Mar 8, 2008 12:27 am

7/8, missed the coach one. the celtics one was a semi guess though. 30 wins would mean a winning record against the celtics, and that just didn't seem possible so i took the next one.
