oh i'm sorry you only watch basketball cause of the lakers

Another win yay

NCAA Tournament has been fun to watch.. Go UNC (hope some miracle has happened to bring back Marshall)

 

[roaches]

The Heat have not showed up tonight. I missed the Mad Men premiere for this bullshit? It's hard to go from watching Kansas and UNC giving it their all to this garbage.

I know right. The intensity difference is incredible. Shame UNC lost ( damn you Marshall!! Why did you have to break your wrist!!) but a little bit of me is happy for Robinson, if anyone deserves a taste of success it is him. I'm thinking Kentucky Vs Ohio State for National Championship.

 

[S O F I]

well, there goes my bracket. fuck.

 

[Kobe]

What the...did anyone (Knicks fans, ahem) see this before?

 

[Ristol]

^From Amar'e's haircut and Balkman's presence on the floor, that's gotta be preseason.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Still pretty funny... How kind of Amar'e

I've missed some games

 

[Kobe]

^At least you've missed 'some'. I've missed a ton, I even seriously thought of just ditching the whole season.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Yeah but it's getting close to Playoffs and I don't know when I'll be able to start watching again boo!

 

[Kobe]

Aww, this ain't right:

Then again?

Well, the 2nd one was suspect to me, complete with the Griffin elbow to Gasol's head. Boom! Headshot! Either way, SMH at both.

Clippers will always have the highlights, Lakers will always have the city.

 

[Ristol]

Finals predictions, go. Only rule is you may not pick a Heat/Thunder Finals. Too easy, and thus against the rules. Use your imagination.

I think Celtics/Lakers. Call me old-fashioned. Oh, and: Celtics in five.

Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just remember I said it.

 

[ARon]

That amare deron dunk thing was after the play...who cares

Then as far as blake goes, how did that first one not get an over the back call? Then the second one with the fully extended elbow should have been called as well but you know that's not going to happen. Definitely not mad, Pau frustrated Blake all game tonight, scrapping with him and shit. Griffin tries to be tough but he ain't. Highlights aren't going to get you the W, so Pau and the Lakers win lol.

To be honest, the Clippers are overachieving like a mother fucker this year. They'll get knocked out first round for sure

 

[Kobe]

I think Celtics/Lakers. Call me old-fashioned. Oh, and: Celtics in five.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

How there wasn't a whistle against Griffin in that I will never know... Umpires too busy admiring or something...

Important thing is Lakers got the win.

Hmm Finals (minus Heat/Thunder..) well lets see... maybe Bulls V Thunder? lol I don't know, I've missed too many games to see where everyone is sitting.

 

[Ristol]

How bout them Spurs?

 

[ArtsyGirl]

I was gonna say Spurs but was unsure of how they really look...

 

[Kobe]

Spurs will win the Championship this year.

 

[S O F I]

it must have been painful for you to say that.

that makes me feel good.

 

[Kobe]

^You're welcome, although your schadenfreude tendencies have me worried.

I've just been watching Pop rest his players and its clear he knows the big one is the playoffs. The season to him...well...I think he's just happy to have 2nd place in the west, and stay off the radar in the talks of who will be in the NBA finals. He's got a master plan going on, and I'll be quite surprised if they don't go all the way. So I truly believe that, I'm not just saying it.
