Interesting fact, pulled from someone on the Lakers newsgroup:
the lakers had lost game 1 of the finals at home 4 previous times.
their record in those series outcomes? four titles, zero losses.
2001 won 4-1 vs. philly
1988 won 4-3 vs. detroit
1972 won 4-1 vs. NY
1953 won 4-1 vs. NY
It won't be 4-1 this time, 4-3 is looking very likely. Maybe Shaq will knock down two free throws to win Game 6, a la Kareem in '88.
