If nothing else, this past postseason has shown us that both of these teams were capable of going on -- or giving up -- huge scoring runs. Below is a list of scoring runs achieved and allowed by the Celtics and Lakers (that I was aware of) during the various rounds of this year's playoffs...

The Lakers got straight up outplayed by the Celtics. It will be an interesting offseason as other teams will be making moves to keep up and compete with both teams. We are doing a series on evaluating teams and their offseason moves at: dishingdimes.blogspot.com
