Bynum is wearing a different knee brace tonight - one that is thicker and restricts movement. Which probably explains why he cant jump.

I just hope the Lakers dont blow the 4th like Orlando did earlier.

Don't worry about it. Kobe's an assassin. Plus, Lakers have 2x the lead Orlando did.

Team Poison - Stephon? AI? hardly

T-Mac wins this hands down. Houston goes down by 40 points just with him showing his face on the bench.

He was there on Sunday also, and possibly the whole series.

Not that it refutes the claim tho...I don't think its a surprise they are beyond the first round when Tmac teams have never won a series.

Is there a bigger drop-off in NBA history, going from Kobe to Vujacic?

The closest I can think of was in the late 80's, when the ghostly Greg Butler came off the bench to sub for Patrick Ewing, roaming the hallowed hardwood of MSG.

I like Trevor Ariza. Last year I thought he was just a pogo-stick, but now I'm seeing he's a decent defender and he can hit the 3.

i liked him when he was in NYK. i hated it when they traded him to Magic. But at least he's in my 2nd favorite team now.

Wow Boston got sooo many lucky bounces on top of that BS home cooking call.

You mean the shot that did not graze the rim?

Yup, don't know how they could reverse such a call but they did.

It glazed the rim. You can clearly see how the ball quickly changes directions in the replay.

GO NUGGS!!!!!!!

They will suprise everyone and at least get to the Finals against the Cavs. Not a single person gives the Nuggs any credit at all and still aren't even though they are destroying teams at a high level - the only team more dominant is the Cavs and they have yet to play a single team

I don't think anyone is underestimating Denver right now. Billups is an awesome floor leader and competitor, and they have a lot of individual talent. Most importantly, they are a playing really well right now, and I don't think anyone with a brain has overlooked that.

I think the western finals are going to be pretty exciting. Its not a given imo the Lakers can handle the nuggets (assuming both make it there.)

This last week or so, everyone has been giving the Nugs credit.

Nah, 'we' "hatin'" on kobe because he cheats on his wife and tries to get in lots of cheap shots, all while trying to act like some clean cut superstar. F*** Kobe!

Kobe's an incredible player, him playing for the Lakers isn't really relevant, and his wife is actually pretty disgusting looking. Kobe must genuinely love her, because I'm sure he could do much better.

As far as scoring at will... that was a fine 15 pts he put up against the Rockets the other night, with their huge 6'6" center clogging the lane. /sarcasm
