Yeah, you're right.  The Lakers lost Magic maybe a full two years before he 
would have retired anyway.  That equates to losing one all-star player who 
was just hitting his prime, and another player (the number 2 pick in the 
draft, when that meant something) who may very well have been even better 
(we'll never know).  Is it "time to forget about Lewis and Bias"?  Of course 
not.  Is it time that the Celtics were able to put together a decent team 
without using them as an excuse?  Yes.  But you are the one who brought up 
the Lakers, and wanted to know why the Celtics have sunk further from glory 
than they did.  To try and pretend that those two tragic deaths didn't have 
something to do with that is absurd.  However, that is the hand the Celtics 
were dealt and they must play it. Now, if you seem to think the Lakers are a 
better organization and you'd rather be a fan of them, you are perfectly 
free to do so, but I don't think you'll get much respect around here.
