Another prediction gone awry

Not too long ago, I predicted that the Lakers would win the NBA finals in 5 games. But with the Celtics just having taken a 3-1 lead after tonight's comeback victory in Los Angeles, it might be safe to say that I picked the wrong team to win in the right number of games. Either it's a sign that the Zen Master lost his magic touch, or that Kobe Bryant may not yet have the transcendent leadership qualities that MJ had. I still believe the Lakers have the better team - and I think that if Andrew Bynum hadn't gotten injured, the Lakers would be nearly unstoppable - but it may just be that Boston wants it more.
