the scan results were negative, which was a relief. headaches went away after about a week or so. haven't had any headaches or dizziness since. thanks for asking. (no homo)

anyone else notice that the lakers were playing much better with farmar and/or brown? they made some runs with either of those two, but PJ kept going with fisher down the stretch. i know he's won rings with this guy, but '09 fisher sucks.

Sick ass game. Had to watch it delayed because I had boxing after work and thankfully no one spoiled it for me. It was the opposite of game 1, lakers controlling most of the game and the nuggets coming back. Melo is soooo sick, k-mart stepped up big just abusing gasol.

That final jumpball was so redic, how's smith running through the circle before gasol even touched the ball hehe?

QFT. Could easily be denver 2-0. What's gold is that the the nugs have a 16 game win streak at home and the pepsi center is going to be blowing up

Werd. Was happy when the celts got beat. Will be icing on the cake when the lakers lose.

Brown had a good game and and made some clutch shots. BTW, i didn't even know adam morrison was on the Lakers as part of the Radmanovich trade. How come he gets no PT?

i'm starting to agree with barkley when he keeps repeating that melo is the best scorer in the league. dude can score from anywhere and any way. and he's so strong in the post. kobe's a great defender, but he even said melo's in a different weight class.

That final jumpball was so redic, how's smith running through the circle before gasol even touched the ball hehe?
seriously. i can, at least, see the refs missing the foul on ariza at the end. but you're telling me nobody saw smith running through?

but that's one beef i have with the refs. are there no younger refs? a lot of these guys have been officiating games since i was in elementary school.

QFT. Could easily be denver 2-0. What's gold is that the the nugs have a 16 game win streak at home and the pepsi center is going to be blowing up
pun intended?

yea, what is the deal with morrison? i know he missed all of last season because of a knee injury, but i just looked up his stats, and he's only played 8 games with the lakers. i remember reading that he had some nervous breakdown once he got to the pros.

another great draft pick by MJ.

MJ the player would have wanted to kill MJ the executive.

Unintended. Gold=nuggets haha

I <3 morrison when he was at gonzaga, white boy could play. Too bad he couldn't produce in the pros as a top 10 draft pick but seriously, has his contemporary JJ Redick done any better?

well, morrison definitley had a better rookie season. but jj got some quality playing time this postseason, so maybe.

but morrison looks like v for vendetta so he's > jj and his faux-hawk.

I always though morrison with his stache looked like a 70s porno actor or something True JJ has done more in the postseason.

So who you feeling today? I'm afraid the cavs and bron-bron are going to come on strong.

BTW, how come they don't put Wallace on Howard? Ilgauskas just looks old and tired.

i think cleveland will take it today too.

and the only reason i can see why z's in the game is for offense. otherwise, he's just too slow and weak to guard howard and has no business doing so.

Yep, I would have said No way the Magic get more than 2 games against the Cavs, but it looks like your gut may be right. Magic are playing MUCH better against the Cavs then they did against Philly. Orlando might actually pull this series out, both games down to the wire. I expected Cleveland to run away with game 2, but certainly not the case tonight....

EDIT: Cleveland might be down 0 - 2. I would have never imagined that.

EDIT: NEVERMIND!!!! WOW!!!!!

I'm guessing that L. James wasn't sure that the ball was gonna go in? The way he reacts to it...

Damn LBJ showed a lot with that last second shot. I especially liked the way he interacted with his teammates afterward. I can't wait until the game in Denver tonight, I hope Melo keeps stepping up and we get another win tonight.
