yeah it's just all the middle aged sports reporters in the media remembering lakers/celtics from when they were young and trying to relive that through this series. lakers/celtics will always be a rivalry but right now it isn't anywhere near the level of intensity it was 20, 30, 40 years ago.
and the fact that last year's finals was terrible doesn't help much either since this series should actually be close and entertaining.
whatever though, i just cant wait for 6:00 tomorrow...seems like it's been taking forever to get here
