To the thread, watch out for the Knicks (Willis Reed) effect in the NBA series. As I recall that year (was it 72 or 73 or earlier?), the Knicks were picked to lose, by comparable margins to the present betting on the Lakers/76ers series, to the Celtics and then the Lakers. I think they beat the Lakers in 6 or less games. Don't remember how many it took to beat the Celtics.

John,
It was the Knicks in 5, and that was the series famous for both the Jerry West 60 foot shot to send the game into overtime (which the Lakers then lost) and the Willis Reed entrance on one leg. However, I don't recall the Lakers being favorites in that series, and if they were I certainly don't recall their being the heavy favorites that this year's team is (in which they have basically been crowned Champions before the first tip off).
