	Roger Pannell's message is certainly sour grape. The point 
is, who really cares whether the Lakers are playing in the weakest 
division/conference at all. As long as they beat the Celtics/
76ers in the finals, they are the best team in the League. 
The performance of the Sonics, Warriors, Clippers and so has no
bearing on the Lakers' honor as champions. Face the fact,
the Lakers' triumph over the Celts is not an upset. 
As Bill Russell said, "in a seven-game series, the best team ALWAYS
wins".
