All the indications of the 1980s were there: The Celtics and Lakers on the parquet, a full house chanting "Beat L.A.!'' and even a clip of an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie on the scoreboard. The real Schwarzenegger was sitting courtside on Friday night watching Boston and Los Angeles renew their rivalry - one of the perks of being governor of California. And the NBA's fiercest foes from the '80s showed that they have a chance for a pretty good second act, too. "I could see it on the people's faces in the building,'' Ray Allen said after Boston won 107-94 in his first game for the Celtics against the Lakers. "They were very rabid about this game and the history that follows these two franchises. It was great for me to be a part of it.'' "Starting to bring celebrities out,'' said Pierce, who grew up in the Los Angeles area as a Lakers fan who hated the Celtics. "That's what I like.'' "That was probably the only time between the beginning of the first six minutes and the end of the game that we felt like we were in it,'' Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. Bryant was booed often by the crowd, which even mustered a "Beat L.A.!'' chant reminiscent of the days when the old Boston Garden and the old Big Three of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish seemed to host the Lakers in the NBA finals every summer. Since I've been in the league, they've (stunk),'' Bryant said. "Now they're kicking our butts. Hopefully we will get to the point where there's some parity between us and them. It means we're competing on a championship level.'' --
