says Celts vs Lakes but the pic is Celts vs. Cavs.

Left menu says yankess vs dodgers but the bottom says NYY vs. Cle?


Anything else?

For starters, the Lakers somehow got outscored by 27 in OT.

Keep looking, there are more.

It has the Lakers as the home team and it is on the Celtics home floor.

Well, the 2 mistakes I was looking for are:

1) The Celtics and Lakers are playing each other in the NBA SEMI-Finals. Really? The semi-finals?
2) Kobe Bryant has 4 assists. That's some real teamwork he was displaying.

i like the new layout. I hated the sidebar when it first came out and now I can't watch sportscenter without it. I am sure the other changes will be good. The new ESPN.com was a huge upgrade too.

Another mistake is that it says 2008 NBA Playoffs.

Maybe part of the makeover is that ESPN is going to rewrite history.
