How can you not love Nate Robinson?

I'm afraid of midgets and clowns.

This [dang] near made me fall out of my chair.

I've read today that Magic said last night that he believes if the Spurs and Lakers meet in the first round that the Lakers will take it.  Was he serious when he said that or was he kidding around?

He's serious, and I'm thinking that if Lakers can beat ANYONE in a series out west the Spurs would be prime candidates for an upset.

Lakers drawing San Antonio 1st round is a LOT better than them drawing OKC.

I agree with Magic. The Lakers can pull out an upset against the Spurs in the first-round. That is why I hope the Lakers miss the playoffs, or seal up that 8th spot and hope OKC gets the 1st seed.

But if the Lakers upset the Spurs, maybe that will guarantee that Mike D'Antoni will last the entirety of his three-year contract.

Chicago Bulls? More like Chicago Streak-Busters
Chicago was amazing, they grind you up and never back down seeing their defense is reminiscent of how stifling ours used to be. I hope Doc and our guys were watching paying attention on how to beat that Knicks team the Bulls know it better than anybody.

You know Doc will be all ears on the phone with Thib's if we face them. ;D

I just don't see it.  The lakers defense is so awful.  I think Popovich will have a game plan that just tears their defense to pieces.

The Spurs are hobbling towards the playoffs with Manu and Parker coming back and they just waived Stephen Jackson. When Kobe puts up 30+ and at least 6+ asts per game then that's gonna be a problem for the Spurs. Plus they got Dwight and Gasol up front to work against Duncan and Splitter.

I just don't see San Antonio getting past the Lakers that easily. It's gonna be a dog fight but my prediction goes...Lakers in 7. They are going to be a tough number 8 seed. Would be great if the Spurs beat them though.

Looks like Spurs in 4 or 5, at the most.

There's a reason the Spurs are the first-second seed and the Lakers are the eigth-ninth seed. Spurs will be underrated as long as they have Duncan (top-10 player) and Pop (top-2 coach). Year after year they get 60 wins and people think they can get beaten by measly Los Angeles. Ridiculous if you ask me

Memphis and LAC pull out two- and three-point wins respectively.. Denver dueling in a tie-game with 5 minutes to go, against Dallas.

Very close games for these seeding duels... fun to watch.
