      But they're in a perfect position in the first two rounds. New Orleans in Round 1 and Dallas in Round 2. Oklahoma City at this point in the season is better than Dallas. San Antonio may not get out the second round with OKC.
      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

        Once the Lakers knew that the were not going to catch SA they shut it down. They do this kind of thing all the time. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Good thing they get a warm up series to flip the switch back to the on position.

          But now they've got to win a game against San Antonio to guarantee getting to play the #7 team and home court in the second round against Dallas. Their last game is against Sacramento and they've got the tiebreaker against OKC so they're not going to sink to #4, but they need to lock up that #2 spot. The Lakers may never have been able to keep up with Chicago, but now they're also behind Miami in the East and they're tied with Boston (who has the tiebreaker here? Both teams beat each other once).

          I think there's a significant jump between the #7 team (New Orleans or Memphis) and the #6 team (Portland). I also wonder if New Orleans and Memphis would secretly rather play the Spurs in the first round than the Lakers.

            Bynum goes down again. The Lakers can't put a Spurs team away that consisted of Danny Green, Steve Novak, Chris Quinn, James Anderson and Tiago Splitter. Now Kobe is in trouble for calling Bennie Adams a "F***ing Faggot!"

              The foul and subsequent T on Kobe were pretty bogus. Yeah he did get caught on camera with the gay slur when he headed to the bench.

              Is the league going to do anything about Kobe's outburst?

              Without Bynum the Lakers don't get out of the second round. Laker fans are crossing their fingers and waiting for the MRI results today but we all know it is only just a matter of time with Bynum.

                I went to bed after the first quarter. I woke up and checked online and see Drew hurt. Shit. But after seeing the injury I think he'll be fine. If anything I can see him playing through it like last year.

                As to Bennie, that tech was bogus. Not as bad as the one Violet (worst official in the NBA) called on him the other night. This one would probably get rescinded too if not for the outburst, but who the hell cares as they don't matter anymore.

                  Listening to Ireland and Blake's chicken pox could be a big deal. Kobe, Drew, and Artest have never had them. I hope they quarantined his ass before he was contagious. That could be disastrous.

                      I think that is the nicest thing that you have ever said about the Blazers. I agree though locking up the 2 is a big deal. While I'm not expecting the Blazers to advance, a lineup of Dre, Matthews, Wallace, LMA, and Camby is a hell of lot tougher than Paul, Belinelli, Ariza, Landry, and Okafur. Plus, the Blazers have better depth with Roy without knees and Batum off the bench. Blazers are likely going out in the first round,but they will be a tough out.

                        David Stern cannot be happy about these developments involving the Lakers. He was looking at either a LA v. Chicago, LA v. Miami of LA v. Boston (remote chance given the way Boston has played) in the Finals. I think Kobe vs. LeBron and Wade would be a ratings bonanza.

                        Of course everything may be fine. But if it Bynum is down and the team gets the chicken pox (lol, I thought everyone got this when they were about five years old), then I guess OKC would have to be the favorite in the West. I just don't trust San Antonio right now.
