who do you think will win? If the cavs win, I'm gonna be worried much more against them. Of course, Lakers aren't that much treat concerning East playoffs but I wish they'll beat the cavs.

If the Cavs were healthy, they'd be my pick.

Then again, the Lakers aren't playing good basketball right now. Bynum has something like 7 rebounds in the last three games (Orl, Sas, Hou). Their defense is up and down like a yo-yo and their offensive execution has been inconsistent due to spacing and scoring options beyond Kobe.

Think I'll stick with the short handed Cavs to beat LA. Lakers are the team that should win this game, it'd be a disappointing loss for them.

Who guards LeBron? Kobe certainly cant
Cavs

Don't worry guys, Scottie Pippen lite will be guarding Lebron!! I read it on the internet.

In all seriousness, I think the Cavs win if someone else on the team can have a good shooting night. Need shooters to step up in absence of Delonte. If it's all Lebron, Cavs chances for success seem small.

What I like about this matchup is that one team has to lose and gives us a chance to catch up with them in  the overall standings ;D Of course the Celts need to do their part today and win.

If Sasha and Wally are on, the Cavs win (see Friday night).  If they are off, they will lose.  It's pretty much that simple.  Look for Lebron to guard Kobe.

My money is on me puking 2 mins into the game due to all the Lebron vs Kobe best player on the planet discussion. I hope they both some how lose the game and maybe even Lebron gets hurt diving into the stands and lands on the Zen master forcing him to retire and never passing Red in the Championships won record. The Camera can pan to Sasha crying over the loss of their leader then getting a manicure to make himself feel better.
"Sam Cassell was heckling on the sideline when I walked down, He looked at me and was like, ‘You're getting the ball, I know you're getting the ball!'
said Allen.

And did Cassell, a man of many words, have anything to say after that?

 "No, I told him he needed to wear a tie."

Best ball out of those 2 teams...The Magic are playing the best ball in the entire NBA, the fact that they have the best record isnt a fluke

Hmm, I really think we could use HCA over Cleveland more than any other team so I guess I will watch and sit in silence because I can't root for the Lakers to win.

As I stated in an earlier thread I guess I will be tentatively supporting the Lakers as it gets us within a game of LA, CLE, and ORL in the loss column (assuming a W against the Suns). 

What I am really rooting for is a Sasha P/Sasha V Ultimate Slapfight showdown.  Tiebreaker can be who weeps the most on the bench afterward.
