OT Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty

[bigbailes]

Am I the only one who watched the first few episodes of season one and couldn't get over the fact I was watching a show about the Lakers and just dropped the show? I couldn't stand Magic/Kareem and all the rest of them from their playing days, why would I watch this?

Great show. Jeanie Buss just said that John Reilly's portrayal of her dad was excellent btw.

But I cant believe they ended it with the Laker loss to Boston in '84, and not Magic's Jr Jr Skyhook win in Boston in '85.

Probably season 3 was going to be all about that season.
Funny, I just watched an episode last night (the one that ended with Philly going to the finals and the whole Lakers team turning to the camera and saying "Fuck Boston" (because as the Celtics are getting eliminated, all of Boston Garden is chanting "Beat LA!")

Shame they canceled that because if it had been a wild success they might have done other teams - like the Bad Boys:

The first season was well done. The second season..... not so much.
