I predict Boston will win in 6 games.
Kevin McHale will be MVP.

My hat's off to the Lakers.
I'll always wonder what would have happened if the Celts had not beaten the
Lakers so badly in the first game. I wonder because Jabbar said that is what
really got him motivated. Who knows what would have happened had he not gotten
"motivated". Kareem really earned his MVP.
It'll be interesting to see if the Lakers can stay hungry for the title.
Somebody, sooner or later, is going to repeat, I just hope it's the Celts.
Congratulations to the Lakers and their fans.
I hope that the NBA will go back to the 2-2-1-1-1 format next year. I don't
mean to imply that anything would have been different this year, but I just
don't think the team with the 4 games at home has a real advantage in a 2-3-2
format.

P.S The Celtics also lost the championship series in 1958, but not in '59
or '60 or '61 or '62 or '63 or '64 or '65 or '66. Maybe that trend will
start again next year.
