    Larry Bird 39/12/10 vs. Knicks (Game 7 1984 ECSF)

    1987 ECF vs. Pistons - 37/9/9 including scoring or assisting on nearly every shot in the last 6 minutes of the game.

    1987 ECSF vs. Bucks - 31 pts, 13 of them in the fourth quarter. Wayne Gretzky credited Bird's performance to "inspiring him" later on that night. He said, "I was watching Bird this afternoon on television, and the announcers kept talking about how the Celtics needed him to score if they were going to win, and in the fourth quarter Bird took charge and the Celtics won. When I came to the arena tonight, I was determined to do the same thing."

    '70s and '80s now added.

    I can't find the complete stats of non-Finals Playoffs games before 1984, except any of Wilt games.

    Thanks. Will use those rebounding numbers from Russell when I do the '60s.
    I have fpliii's google doc of the game 7 Wilt vs Russell matchups to help me on that too.

    2006 WCF was such a great series.

    It was a stark contrast from the disgrace of a Finals that followed.

    if you give me specific games to look up complete lines for, let me know (do you need game 5's as well for 5-game series?)

    btw to outside observers (not that you'll necessarily care), I don't like/dislike Wilt, just wanted to try to complete the matchup table; I actually have Russ higher (one of three guys, with Magic and Jordan, who has an argument for GOAT), so if anything I'm a supporter of his ATM

    Game five's of best-of-five series, and even game three's of best-of-three series should count, as well. Those are "elimination" games.

    And, in which case, you SHOULD include Wilt's 56-35 and 53-22 games, too (as well as Kareem and Moses's '81 game three.)

    Not only that, but you SHOULD also provide their opposing player's numbers (at least in positional H2H's.) Here again, Chamberlain was outscoring his opposing starting center by as much as 53-7.

    BTW, here are Wilt's numbers in his 11 "absolute limit elmination" game's. 29.9 ppg, 26.1 rpg, and on a .581 FG% (incidently, in his game seven's, his FG% was .626, which is the highest of any all-time great in their game seven's.) Not only that, but Chamberlain crushed his opposing centers on the glass in those games, and held them to, on average, 9.8 ppg.
