This week we fire up the Delorean, floor the accelerator until we hit 88--1988 to be precise. Back to a year when it was Bush versus Dukakis for the White House, Mayor Flynn drank too much, and the Celtics and Lakers were in the playoffs. (Though it was the year after their famous--and last--1987 match up.)

So who would it be? Lakers or Celtics? Let's take to the Boston streets for a little Q & A.

Best response of they day came from the parking meter attendant, naturally: "Of course it is! It's gonna be the doggone Celtics, don't even bother asking that!"

Go Celtics!
