Philly failed badly in the 1977 finals when Bill Walton and the Trailblazers basically dismantled them.
The Sixers had a brilliant talent in Julius Erving and a few years later, they had surrounded him with Bobby Jones, Mo Cheeks, Moses Malone and Andrew Toney.
Toney was a slight guard but he could really go off and did so so predictably against the Boston Celtics that the media started calling him the Boston Strangler.
In Game 7 in the 1982 Eastern Conference Finals he racked up 34 points. He had 30 points in Game 2, 39 points in Game 4 and averaged 26.
