Thank God they didn't blow this one.  Not that it would've been cataclysmic (remember last year); however, things should get better after the All Star break with Erden, West, and hopefully Shaq back.  Nice to see them pull this out.

Nice, looks like we're going to pull this game out...good to have some momentum heading into the All-Star break.

Ugh, looks like the Cavs are completley choking against the Lakers.  >:(

I agree that it was great to see them get their act together and put the Nets away down the stretch

Lakers down 3 with last possession.  Let's see.

Up 2 halfway through the last, then go on the run to clinch it. Taking care of business, all eyes have since turned to the Cavs v Lakers game I think!

Oops. Down 4.   Looks like Cavs take the Lake!

Though, again, with such a limited bench, I think the starters paced themselves, knowing they couldn't go 100% for an entire game.  I think that's a pretty large reason why this wasn't a blow out.

Can't wait until we have a bench that can hold a lead and allow the starters the luxury of going all out knowing they can actually get breathers and afford to pick up fouls.

This should do it for real.  Lakers now down by 4 with 11 seconds to go.

Red hot Cavs win it.

On the down side (perhaps), this miserable stretch by LA is coming before the trade deadline making it likely the Lakers will make a significant move.  Just makes me nervous.

Great night!  C's push through a letdown game shorthanded and the Lakers blow a similar game (not shorthanded) against the worst team in basketball.   :)

Wow....I am really speechless.

Did not expect this from the Lakers. I hate them with a passion but this is kind of scary whats going on with them this season.

They are the 2010 Celtics right now. They have the players to get to the finals, nobody in the west can compete with their size. I fully expect them to be there in June.
