{slam dunk}
The Los Angeles Lakers administered a full scale WHIPPING to the Celtics
in Game 3 with a 137-104 *thrashing*. If it weren't for some faulty ball
handling at the end of regulation and overtime of Game 2 then this series
would be all but OVER at 3-0. Of course I consider it all but over at this
stage too, since the Lakers have *completely* outplayed the Celtics at ALL
phases of the game and they should wrap up the series soon.

You know it's over when the Lakers, with a 25 point lead after 3 quarters in
Game 3, emptied their bench and played mostly reserves the rest of the way
and actually increased the margin by 8 more points in the final quarter!
The Celtics looked and played demoralized after the Lakers ran off their
18-0 blitz in the second quarter. Rev up that fast break Lakers, and say
goodbye to the Celts!!	The Celtics look like just an average team now.

My Revised Prediction: LAKERS in 5 games. (no need for 6 now!)
