The converse to the revenge factor

[libermaniac]

Laker fans like to talk about the revenge factor.  But, there is another factor that could come into play if the C's smack them in the mouth and take game 1:  Lack of Confidence.

Think about the old-school Sox/Yankees series (before the magic of '04).  Sox wanted revenge every year, but that quickly faded to a feeling of same-old-same-old, once the Yankees jumped on us.

Thoughts?

All this revenge talk mean nothing and we here it only to past the time before games. I'm sure LA wanted revenge in the 60's when C's beat them 7 time. Did it help? Nope.

Laker fans can talk all they want - and boy do they ever - I got these two Laker fans yapping all month.......

Cleveland will beat Boston

Orlando will beat Boston

WOOOPS! Now we have to play Boston......

I sit there in my cube - chuckling to myself.
