About Lakers versus Celtics and the NBA Playoffs

Lakers versus Celtics and the NBA Playoffs is an action oriented basketball simulation based on the 1988 1989 NBA season. Its focus is on offensive play rather than team management.

Available modes include single exhibition matches and a full playoff tournament to decide the champion, though a complete season mode is absent. While player substitution is possible to relieve fatigue, no deeper strategic options are provided.

The roster comprises ten teams from that era, including East and West All Star squads. It features several historically significant players such as Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar, some of whom are equipped with unique signature moves.
