Celtics-Philadelphia rivalry is back - we've missed it!
It's back! The Eastern Conference Celtics-versus-76'ers rivalry is back, and it's about time!
Wilt Chamberlain and Hal Greer have left us, but Bill Russell and Sam Jones remain alive and vibrant. Much has been written on the Russ/Wilt match-up, but the Jones/Greer rivalry was a good one also. The fight between late Larry Siegried and Wali Jones will be remembered. The 60's saw a lot of empty seats in Boston Garden, but if memory serves me correctly, the 76'ers coming into town also brought the fans.
