Remember the Lakers before Magic (when they had Kareem), they were a good
team that did not get to the finals.  Since he joined the team the Lakers
have missed 1 championship final (I may be wrong here but that is my memory).
Worthy is a great player in the Laker system, but I do not think he has the
same impact of Magic.

And PLEASE DON'T DISMISS THE NUGGETS, last year the Lakers beat both the
Nuggets and the Celtics 4-2 in their last two series.  (The Celtics beat
the Sixers 4-1 before losing to the Lakers.)

Being in Boston it's hard to follow the Lakers and impossible to know what's
going on with the rest of the Western teams.  My impression is that Magic is
hurting and the rest of the team is getting bored.  Can anyone closer to LA
give me a summary of what's been happening.
