lakers or cavs? i would like to get another game on the cavs...but hate the lakers...win win to me

I'm going with the Cavs. I just hae that the Lakers have the best record right now. Cavs lost enough games already.

Yeah, we're tied with the Lakers again if Cleveland wins, plus I utterly hate Kobe.

That was a gloriously ugly game - not much fun to watch at times, but the team stepped up and clamped down on D while doing enough to win offensively.  Big, big win in stretching our lead in the East and keeping pace with LA.

On a related note, between this and the noon game, looks like no one's quite got their heads in the game today.  Hope Lakers-Cavs will be better.

Merry Christmas everyone!

i'm actually gonna go with the Cavs too... I just hate that smug look on Kobe's face.... LeBron is more tolerable at this point.

arrgghh...my daughter switched off the recording of the Tivo...was gonna finish up watching later 

Take the win though 

Redz, I hear you. I realized my recorder cut out in the 4th so I watched the end live.

It's ok, I took away all of her Christmas presents and told her Santa's not real, so I figure we're about even.

The last two minutes were totally uninteresting. There was no energy, intensity and desire coming from both teams WHATSOEVER!

i think it was just a street fight by the 4th quarter...2 Very good defensive teams going at each other

Mr. Grinch, is that you?

eh. Really haven't liked how Eddie has played over the past games. Perhaps its time for Nate? I really think he can bring more to the table then Eddie is right now.

I don't know, but this game had no nothing to me whatsoever. I hoped for the game to get better after halftime, but when I saw they continued to play in that same fashion, I really could say right away that the C's are going to win, because it didn't look like a fight, but more like a pickup fun game.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas. Remember, God is great and Jesus loves you!

[RAcker]

Merry Christmas everyone, and a Happy New Year (meaning injuries go away).

Celtics put the hammer down on defense today and really cleaned up the defensive boards. The offense ran into 20 turnovers which is a few more than what I like but I blame that on Orlando's defense. The game was a real intense war between two rivals that know each other. The Celtics may have secured an edge in the EC race today.

We finally won on Christmas day. The last one I can remember is Dec. 25, 1980 against the NJ Nets when Bill Fitch was the coach and I was a senior in college.

Yeah, the Fakers game was just the cherry on top today.
