Episode 8 "California Dreaming" of "HBO's" "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty" was again another interesting and drama filled episode. As the Lakers continue to win right up into the all-star break, tension and behind the scenes drama and power struggle is brewing. As head coach Jack McKinney wants to come back into the picture despite the current success of Paul(Jason Segal) and Pat(Adrien Brody) who are both coaching and leading the team just fine or so they believe. Also Magic is selected to the all star team as a rookie and he meets his boyhood idol who's play for the opposing East squad and that's the one and only Dr. J(Julius Erving). Also Team owner Dr. Jerry Buss is faced with another private and close personal drama. This episode was revealing and drama filled as it showed the team dealing with winning and behind the scenes bickering. Another fine episode that has me ready to see the final two episodes of what has been a thrilling series.
