Basketball (NBA, College, etc.)

Just reading about the "new" digital TV we're supposed to be getting: Most of it we already have anyway, but there's going to be a new 24-hour sports channel, with NFL, Major-Leage baseball, and maybe NBA :fingerscrossed:

The West beats the East in the (non-broadcast) NBA All-Star game, 146-119... Co-MVPs: Kobe and Shaq.

Talk about bizarre. :sweat:

Forget Kobe, Shaq had the MVP award won right from his intro. :beaten:

He'd a been a lot lighter on his feet had he lost those 30-40 pounds he promised five years ago. :P

He'll be Jabba the Hutt not long after he retires. :hehe:

That and the bounce pass through Dwight Howard's legs and in for the jam.

I had forgotten about that one :sweat:

People seem to think that was planned...

What was once the biggest force in the league has been reduced to a glorified Harlem Globetrotters player. He's pretty much screwed up Phoenix for the foreseeable future. If I were Steve Nash I'd be asking for a trade. [/list:u]

Non-broadcast? It was actually broadcast on TNT. Plus, it was streaming on nba.com for free (my viewing preference).

Co-MVPs: Kobe and Shaq.

Speaking of fixing ... the co-mvp thing was fixed. Probably to show that two egotistical stars can at least set their petty differences aside for an all-star game. :shakehead:

Are you comparing Shaq to a Globetrotter? Shaq could not do half the things they could do, though it'd be hilarious to see him try. :rofl:

If I were Steve Nash I'd be asking for a trade.

Nash is too classy to do that. Doubt he would go all Kobe and start demanding for trade ... or intentionally fatten up and get lazy like Shaq to force one.

I meant over the air, i.e., network, not cable.

Lakers beat the W's in a shootout, 129-121.

And the Lakers trade little-used center Chris Mihm to Memphis for a draft pick...

Lakers eke out a win in Minnesota, 111-108. :sweat:

Next up: Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Odom is playing consistently nowadays but I hope Bynum will return soon and Odom will stay on his A-Game!!!

Lakers FTW!!!

Lakers defeat the Thunder, 107-93.

Next up: The Suns, Thursday at Staples.

This is NOT a typo:

The Clippers defeat the Celtics at Staples, 93-91. :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

The Celtics had been saying they could adjust to not having KG. Looks like they're going to have to "adjust" a little bit more. :P [/list:u]

Yup... They need to really crank the "adjust" button, not just tweak it a notch. :hehe:

Losing to the Clips is pretty sad .... but Garnett IS the Celtics most important player, and without him bad losses are to be expected.

Speaking of teams that have lost key guys ... the Spurs have had Duncan AND Ginobli out and yet still beat quality playoff teams (Mavs and Blazers)!! Imagine if Lakers didn't have their 2 best players, Kobe & Gasol, or Celts without KG & Pierce .... both teams would probably get beat even by those lowly Clippers. :sweat:


Mucho props to the Spurs! :victory:

Cavs are routed by the Rockets, 93-74... LeBron doesn't have a single assist... For the first time in his career. :shocked:

Lakers pounding the Suns, 92-73, in the 3rd quarter. :victory:

EDIT: The high-scoring Suns get a taste of their own medicine and get routed by the Lakers, 132-106. :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:
