I agree with your sentiments. Nevertheless I try to do this for each championship series in each sport just as a matter of information. Note earlier on I did a Chicago vs. Philly thread for the hockey.

Yeah since 1964 Celtics- Lakers 8 finals. Cleveland 2 World Series, 1 NBA Finals- zero wins. Not counting the Bruins, Red Sox, Patriots, Angels, Mighty Ducks, and Dodgers. This quite frankly sucks. I hope an asteroid hits Staples.

OK so how about if I give you this info to appease you: Cleveland vs. either Boston or LA. Here are the results:
1948 Cleveland Indians defeat Boston Braves in World Series
1950 Cleveland Browns defeat Los Angeles Rams in NFL title game
1951 Los Angeles Rams defeat Cleveland Browns in NFL title game
1955 Cleveland Browns defeat Los Angeles Rams in NFL title game
* 1920 Cleveland Indians defeat Brooklyn nka Los Angeles Dodgers in World Series (I usually don't count team moves like this, but I will make an exception here.)
And that's it for any Cleveland vs. LA or Boston finals.
(of course, this year it was supposed to be Cleveland vs. LA for the NBA title, right? Woulda, shoulda, coulda)

I hate both teams but the Celtics more.

i agree with the asteroid scenario.
lived in boston for almost five years. believe me, boston fans aren't half as bad as yankee fans. but what gets me though is their annoying accent. they'll be quick to call someone with a southern drawl a redneck or slow etc. but to think they find them a step above everyone else when what comes out of their mouth sounds like they just ate a shit sandwich........pleez.
the thing about the lakers to me is kobe. i like my sports heros to be at least a little modest. i wish i was tall enough (or big and bad enough) to wipe that rat ass smirk off his fxxxing face.
after tonite all there is to watch is baseball and now some soccer or golf. here's my YAAAWWWNN!!!

Yes, I'm sure my mom remembers most of those wins- and my grandmother, if she were still alive could have told me about the 1920 win. You have to be on the high side of 50 to reminisce about the big 1964 win. Counting the Cavs, Indians, and Browns there's been 132 seasons worth of failure since then- and it's about freaking time for a little success for a change.
That's why the talk of LeBron bolting is so depressing- without him the Cavs are a .500 team at best. The Browns are at least a year or two away, and the Indians are hopeless as long as Dolan owns the team.

How true.
And what a depressing way to start the day as I ready myself for a day at the course. At least there was no talking about hitting OB, getting hit in the head by a golf ball, or the 2 best balls hit all day were the one's hit when accidently stepping on the bunker rake or dropping a quick Franklin at the card table.

I would agree. With one exception, Mr. Bird.
