[net.sport.hoops] What a Game #1 !!

	Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals was spectacular from start

to finish. Did you see the DEFENSE !! Either team could have won that

game. Looks like we've got another classic Celtics / Sixers series on

our hands !! If LA had played either team today, they would have been

blown out. It's too bad that there isn't another quality team in the

Western Conference to balance out the Lakers. Surely Cleveland could do a

more credible job than Denver.

	Look for Boston in seven (with a little bit of luck !) and

LA to lose in six games to either Eastern Team in the Championship

round.

Look, I'm neither a Celtic, nor a Sixer, nor a Laker fan (Let's go Knicks
especially with Ewing!!), but you've got to be kidding.  Were we watching
the same game???  The one that I saw consisted mainly of the sixers
giving the ball away (like dribbling up court between two defenders).
If it wasn't for the fact that they are a great team, they would not
have even been in that ball game.  The fact that the Celtics DIDN'T just
walk of the court with them just showed me that neither of those two
teams is going to have an easy time with LA.

My predictions, LA in 6 over the Celtics (over the Lakers in 7).

Woops, sorry folks, that should read LA in 6 over the Celtics who
will beat the SEVENTY-SIXERS in 7. A little freudian slip there (hoping 
that the Celtics will beat the Lakers).
