It reminds of the good old days when Bird, McHale, Parrish, Johnson, Walton, Ainge, et al. tangled with Kareem, Magic, and Worthy, et al.
Yes, those were the good old days. This year, may the best team win.

Surprise star for the Lakers: Trevor Ariza takes Ray Allen back out of his game.

Lakers in six. Not seven.
It doesn't look good for the Celtics against such a strong la team. A Celtics victory will be that much sweeter.

I don't know if I agree with you. Not about the outcome, but about the number of games. Think of all the advertising revenue that would be lost. Celtics in 7.
