ML Carr Taunts the "Fakers"

February 17, 1985

"Any word from the Fakers yet?," M.L. Carr asked early yesterday. "What are the Fakers saying about us?"

The "Fakers" are the Los Angeles Lakers, and Carr's insult is just one more Celtic tactic on this West Coast tour.

"We kick your butt and we tell you about it," said Carr.

"The Lakers will tell you they are better than us. The Lakers will tell you they should have won the [title last June]. Well, all that talk doesn't amount to a hill of beans. You still have to lace them up and perform. So far they haven't been able to back it up. Maybe they should spend less time talking and more time playing."
