Bird: Lakers are Playing in the Weaker Conference Just Like in the 80s

In this conference call with Magic Johnson, Larry Bird was asked to compare today's Celtics-Lakers rivalry to the rivalry in the '80s. "Nothing's changed," said Bird. "All the powerhouses are in the East and the Lakers will cruise in the West.

Amen to that, Larry. Pissed me off twenty years ago, and pisses me off today.

I get the feeling Larry will be back with the Celtics in some capacity before all is said and done. Maybe McHale too!

That would be great. For now, McHale taking over for walton as the voice of the 86 team on the national airwaves. Poor Bill's health problems just keep getting worse.

The worst thing about is when these analysts fawn all over the West as though it's a superior conference though most of those teams are not true contenders.
