Comments about Warner Brothers Warner Home Video NBA Los Angeles Lakers 1984-1985 Champions: Return To Glory DVD:
I am avid Celtic fan. Have always wanted "The Memorial Day Massacre" game. Was very excited to see this series out with all games complete. Very disappointed that Game 1 began at the end of the second quarter. I would like to know WHY this was done. The advertising said all games in their entirety. This to me, is FALSE advertising. The other games were okay. But I really purchased this for Game 1.

This is an awesome set I watched all the games for hours. The only drawback is Game 1 is incomplete for some reason. The game picks up late in the second quarter. But what Laker fan is longing to relive the Memorial Day Massacre. But otherwise a must have. When I saw it in the store my eyes bugged out and I couldn't grab it quick enough. I just hope more classic Lakers playoff series will follow soon.
