It is dominance such as this which lends creedence to the notion that
if there is a dynasty in basketball today, it resides in LA.  Don't
let all the Boston press fool you, they are not the team to beat.
Kareem, Magic & Co. are the defenders of the crown, not the
pretenders to it.

P.S. Lucky for me I managed to tape games 5 and 6 of last years
     championship.  Its just a pleasure to watch the Lakers beat
     the Celtics in every phase of the game.  Again and again.
