They meet twice a year, every year, but it's been a while since these meetings have meant as much as they do today.  It's total nostalgia for someone who grew up in the 80's watching Magic and Bird duke it out every year.  Tonight's game hearkens back to those days, as the Lakers played the Celtics tight through one overtime period, finally pulling out the victory on a missed last second shot by Paul Pierce.  They missed almost half their free throws, Kobe was cold until the end of the fourth quarter, their big man was out and they still managed to beat the Celtics.  Sweet.
