Of course we had no chance against the west; no one thought we did, and most 
were delighted to get as far as we did.  But the gap between Boston and the 
Lakers and Kings is so huge that the tinkering that has happened won't change 
that gap.  With Baker and SWill, they may win a few more or a few fewer 
games, but when you talk about Rings, the Celts are rearranging deck chairs.  
I said it last year and will say it again:  the road to a title goes through 
LA, and as long as Shaq and Kobe are around, the freeway is closed.
