Anybody have a vomit smiley for me? If it weren't for Nate my boy's probably would have lost by 50

Nice win by the Heat. Miami's beating the team's they should beat this season. Back to back with Cleveland coming up. Those'll be tough.

By the way, the Warriors are about to upset the Celtics.

 

[Mister J]

I f-ing hate your team right now Mister J.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

This was a lot more fun when both squads were definite playoff teams.

By the way, the Warriors are about to upset the Celtics.

GS outscores Boston, 60-38 in the second half (35-17 in 4Q).

I'm very happy that I was wrong, and I hope it's not an aberration and that Lakers have indeed turned a corner. Celtics is still the team to beat, and right now I think Lakers have to do something by the trade deadline for a defense specialist like Artest if they want to go all the way. Lakers still have too many people who can't or won't committ to playing defense, unfortunately.

I hope so... that they have turned a corner. One of the biggest difference between the teams is that Boston takes every game seriously while LA tends to take sub-par teams lightly which in turn becomes a loss. If you look at their losses this season, I only see 2 legitimate losses - Detroit & Orlando. The others they should have won.

BTW, Celts lost to GS last night. t:t:t:

Great win for the Cavs tonight. But, man, that is a tough Heat team

I dont know where the Heat would be without D-Wade.

 

[Mister J]

Getting outscored by 16 in the 4th hurts, but they fared better than I expected. I'd like to see the same intensity for the back end of this home and home.

Good game though, DD.

 

[Double Down]

It was a really good game. Wade is just amazing.

 

[Venom'sDad]

The sky is falling!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh no!

That would be the Lakers fans before beating the Celtics

 

[Mister J]

It was a really good game. Wade is just amazing.

With him playing at this high of a level, it's practically begging for a trade. Well, maybe that's just me begging, but something needs to go down before Feb. 19.

*See 07/08 season*

I didn't get to watch the game tonight, but from what I saw it looks like Miami hung in there for the majority of the game which is good to see. Hopefully they can return the favor at home on Tuesday.

 

[Ghostvirus]

I think that Cavs are going to beat the Celtics in the playoffs. Just throwing that out there. Then you will have a passing of the torch type series with the Lakers V.S. Lebron.

You still mad that Mayo will be better then B-Easy?

 

[Showtime]

The Celtics lost a couple in a row and might have been feeling a little upset, I think beating the Kings by 45 points helped with that feeling of depression.

 

[Darthphere]

Poor Kings. I wonder if Reggie Theus would consider Hang Time: The Next Generation now. I got the script on my desk right now.

 

[MoPlaYa]

I hope the bulls pick up thier play...They should be a playoff team.

 

[empire]

Wow, Lakers don't play again till Friday. All the rest in between can go either way. They might come out playing with a lot of energy against the Jazz or looking rusty. I hope not the latter.

Anybody seen the new Kobe shoes? At Nike's site, you can customize your own. Might get one for myself.

Leading Off: Kobe's new shoes seem risky



By Bill Bradley
[email protected]
What price marketing glory? For Kobe Bryant, it's apparently worth risking injury.
Last week, Bryant debuted his latest Nike shoe, the "Zoom Kobe 4 Cut," a low-cut basketball sneaker expected to retail at about $120. He's playing in those as part of an ongoing five-year, $40 million shoe deal.
What's the big deal? Very, very few NBA players use low-cut sneakers because they offer little ankle support. If they don't wear high tops, then they tape their ankles heavily – and even that doesn't offer the support of high tops.
So why is arguably the best player in the world taking such a chance?
"High-tops really don't do much for you," Bryant told the Associated Press. "If you're going to roll your ankle, you're going to roll it. It kind of is what it is."
That worn-out cliche doesn't fly. It seems as if Bryant, who was involved in the shoe's development, is rolling the dice with his career just to sell shoes in the mall.
In a sport where so much time is spent in the air, there is something that seems very dumb about compromising on the landing gear.
