Celtics 2008. Bruins 2011. Plus a Celtics Finals appearance they lost. and a Bruins Stanley Cup appearance they lost, and the two Super Bowl appearances they lost. This has been so much fun. I've never seen anything like it.
Bay Area in the 1970s-1980s:
Athletics: 1972, 1973, 1974, 1989
Raiders: 1977, 1981, 1984
Warriors: 1975
49ers: 1982, 1985, 1989

if you extend to include all of California the Lakers won six championships in that 2 decade span as well: 72, 80, 82, 85, 87, 88
plus there was a Californian in the presidency for the majority of the era (Nixon until 74, then Reagan 81-89)

that's gotta be somewhat comparable right?
