Missed it by that (9) much

OK, so I was off by 9 on my prediction. But, the Lakers won! That darn Sasha blew my point spread. I guess it's a good thing I'm not a betting man.

Now to play the hated boys from bean-town. This is basketball. Lakers vs. celtics.

I shout out to my old friend Phil from South Carolina. We were the only two Lakers' fans at college back in the '80's when the showtime Lakers were in their heyday. I hope you are doing well and enjoying the Lakers recent success.

Lakers in 6.

Thus saith me.

GO LAKERS

It's time for the Lakers to do away with the Suns.

My suggestions for the Lakers:

• Foul early and foul hard
• Play mean and nasty
• Play all 40 minutes, playing the last 3.5 hard Ron won the game for us

The Lakers by 17.

Thus saith me.
