What about the 76ers showing heart against the Lakers last year, taking one from them at home? Or the Celtics climbing back from down 20 to win against the Nets?
I was talking about facing past years champion. Even though the 76ers won one game it was in OT and everyone knew they were going to lose the series. I think the 10 day layoff for the Lakers had something to do with the Sixers winning that first game. Like it or not the Lakers did roll through last year. But the way the West teams folded against the Lakers reminded me of the Bulls who would roll through the east until they met a challenge in the Knicks.
