If you bought good tickets, you could have still gone. Our section won a prize. A gift bag of hair gel and shampoo paste.

Blake Griffin has a huge head.

And they say Donald Sterling is cheap!

Still, right on. Free stuff is free stuff.

I dont think I could be any happier with today's games. LA lost, Ray Ray in the clutch, Grizzlies winning. Smiles all around.

I like the Thunder and Nuggets about the same so IDC who wins.

[[Q]]

ehhh as far as today is concerned, i do like spurs losing.... lakers, i'm impartial since i wouldnt mind seeing either team win, but i wanna see Boston & OKC lose

The Playoffs have been great, every game has been close.

The Sixers, Pacers, Nuggets, Knicks, Blazers almost beat the higher seed, Hornets, Grizzlies, Hawks did.

I hope Philly steals Game 2. The next we will see..

Playoff games should be on TNT, ABC and ESPN, not NBA TV. They rarely show replays, if the local commentaries break down a play or show some highlights, all there is a shot of the court with both teams in their huddles.

[[Q]]

that's the beauty of DVR.

espn has more important things to show like reruns of the same damn shows they run all day, and also shows that don't even matter about sports that are in their offseasons. the other day i had to catch real madrid & barcelona on espn deportes because they had to show the oh so important Arkansas red & white game. WHAT??

[Andrew]

Indeed, including hot dog eating championships, tractor pulling and spelling bees. Yet ESPN anchors often make fun of professional wrestling. Go figure.

Yeah, I noticed that on the Game 2 of the Spurs-Grizzlies series. I thought all games are national televised?

nba tv games are now "nationally televised", especially with their partnership with Turner Sports this year. it's offered on a lot of cable packages nowadays

I remember a Heat game on NBA TV, when there was no scoreboard for three quarters.

That's the way it should be.

yeah i miss those days where the score would pop up while the team is bringing the ball up the court, only to disappear after a few seconds. that leaves more screen for basketball.

Didn't know that.

I don't mind too much that they keep the scoreboard up throughout the game - occasional screw-ups aside - but I know what you mean.

Marv Albert is an arrogant bitch.

[shadowgrin]

You can't handle the Jruth!

Kobe with the right & left handed dunks last night. He is the best player on the planet!

Guess that settles any future "Kobe vs..." arguments.
