Question
Who was the starting lineup for the the championship 1985-86 Celtics?

Answer
Dear David,

in 1985-'86, coach K.C. Jones decided to start point guard Dennis Johnson, shooting guard Danny Ainge, small forward Larry Bird, power forward Kevin McHale and center Robert Parish. Bill Walton, Scott Wedman and Jerry Sichting started some games too due to injuries (McHale went down with an Achilles tendon injury just after the All Star Game in Dallas and missed 14 games, while Johnson missed four and Ainge two). I hope this helps
