Please, I bet you right now they are not making it to the Finals next year.

Pretty sure they're not winning, which is why I was glad they did it this year.

LA has some competition in a number of other young up and coming teams, so it's definitely not a shoe-in for them either.

Assuming everyone stays health, they only team I would worry about is NO, the rest....meh, not impressed.

Indeed.

The Lakers?

I do not know, they could get lucky.

Your coach also has reservations:

"We have to get some players if we're going to come back and repeat, to have that kind of aggressiveness that we need."

--Phil Jackson

"Get some players."

Well . . . I suppose if they can "get some players" the Lakers might have a chance.

Like I said, I'm willing to make a bet.

How about this: If Celtic make it again and win I'll switch to Mac. If Laker win you switch to Windows

That would be like me proposing if I win I get Nicole Kidman and if you win you get Rosie O'Donnell.

I am all into friendly wagers, but a year is a long time.

Think of a realistic stake.

Probably have to do it like football wagers--one that gets furtherest in the playoffs win. If both teams get eliminated in the same round it is a wash.

I'll be down for that. Lay out your terms and conditions.

Well, my imagination is not too good at this stage; usually the loser has to buy the margarita. The other is forcing the loser to buy the winner's team's hat/t-shirt/thong and forcing him to wear it for a week or something.

Those are kind of hard to do over t3h interw3bs.

So I am open to suggestions.

I think wearing a Laker uniform in Boston is far more dangerous than other way around. See my comment about Hollywood Fans.

I do not know, I know a Cs fan in LA who might disagree. Actually, she lives near Inglewood so . . . there you go.

I do not live in Boston currently so I may look like a bandwagoner no matter who wins!

I don't recall this happening in Boston recently. Even to a Yankee fan.
