I don't think Boston's hype can be reconciled after being taken to 7 games in their previous 2 series. They were playing against the worst teams in the playoffs. Now, they are playing against the only other team that took advantage of their weak conference and both teams will have a tough time.
I also want to state, for anyone who might claim that the Lakers were handed last night's game: 1) Duncan traveled. 2) Fisher's shot hit the rim. 3) Barry traveled. 4) Pop admitted the refs made the right call. If it were a perfect world, the game would have been won before the final shot, but that's "game fixing" for ya.
