No matter what, remember to have
those vomit buckets ready!
Maybe I should get them ready now, although the guy sharing my office may not quite know what to make of them.
"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."

We need the Laker to win.  Since I dislike Lebron as much as I dislike Kobe, it's easy for me to root for the Lakers in this one.

no we don't.  We need King James to humiliate Kobe. 

Why?  The Cavs winning only puts us further back in the standings. And like I said, I want the Lakers to win because it gives us a chance to knock a game off the standings should we also win tonight and I dislike them both equally so it's easy for me to hope Kobe wins.

Because Cavs/Lakers is a preview of the finals... and if I'm going to inevitably root for the Cavs during that series (I don't want Phil Jackson getting his 10th ring, I hate the Lakers and Kobe is a little punk), I'm going to root for them tonight as well.   

Go Bron!  Break Kobe's ankles!

There's still a lot of ball left
to be played. Cavs-Lakers in the
Finals? We'll see. A lot can happen
in the next four months...

This is true... but the Cavs having home court advantage isn't going to matter that much if LeBron misses the playoffs with an Injury... and that's the only way I see this currently constructed Celtic team defeating the Cavs.   

So go Bron!... make Kobe cry!

yup, yup, and yup. There's no debate who's the MVP in my mind.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Imagine how insane the thought of East > West would be 3 years ago,,,or even a year ago

the west is def deeper, but right now the c's, cavs, and magic are def 3 of the top 4 in the league

I can't stay up to watch any more, but I just had to say that no questions once they started playing I was instinctively rooting for Cleveland.  Just can't bring myself to feel bad one something good happens against the Lakers.
Yup

The Cavs are too undermanned. JJ Hickson and Lorenzen Wright? Starting Pavlovic and a Varejão/Wallace frontcourt? If they win this, I don't know what can be said about them. I don't believe they will though.

Fuuny thought. I just realized this game features a faceoff of the league's 2 Sasha's, both from the Balkans, and both sort of known for their long range gunning.

Cavs 50, LAL 49 at the half.
LeBron has 10, as does Pavlovic.
Kobe with 10 for the Lakers.
Vujacic 3 of 3 from deep.

Lakers by nine (75-66) after three.
I think you're right once again, cordobes.
