        How can this Laker team be considered the greatest if it
fails to win the championship? All talks about their greatness
are baloney right now!
I am afraid all the Laker hype, like the CBS's half-time feature
(Dynasty II?) last Sunday, will just irritate and fire up the Celtics.
I hope I won't see Auerbach saying this in June: "This Celtic team
is the greatest of all time!"
