Well, game three has come and gone, and we all now know that Kareem is not
too old (wait til next year), and that a home court advantage is not going to
make all the difference between two teams as talented as these. However, playing
the next three games in the Forum should be interesting to watch, because if,
for example, L.A. takes two out of three (and don't try and tell me they'll win
all three games), they'll have the Celts in a 3-2 hole heading back to the
Garden. (and have we talked about the fact that the team with the better record
during the regular season has the "home court advantage" in the series, for
whatever that's worth?--I think it's not worth much)  

I think I'll go with the Celts in 7, though. Their bench is a bit stronger than
the Lakers, I think, and they proved in game 1 that they know how to beat the
purple and yellow men from Inglewood. We shall see.
 
(I can't wait to go home and watch the rest of the series on a wide screen)
