Of course a week ago, this year's edition of the Lakers were being
considered as potentially the greatest team of all time.  This week
it seems that they now have to win 40 odd games in a row to reach
the 70 mark. (like all the rest of the regular season games!)

Now this edition of the Celtics has a better record than the Lakers thus
far, but I would never consider them as a candidate for the greatest team
of all time.  

By the way, Red never talks dynasty until a team wins three or four
world championships in a row.
