What, seeing if he's enjoying the game as much as I am? Yes, I'm aware of the Private Message feature. If you look back, though, the last Lakers/Kings thread, lots of people were into it.

You thought I'd take offense to THAT?

Joe- That was awesome. Shaq with 20,000 points and a close game. Kings play the first and part of the second period with a fast pace. Lakers took it back going into half and the third quarter. Then it was back and forth in the final period. I love basketball. Then coming out of the timeout with 1:10 left in the game the crowd is chanting Beat LA Beat LA. Kings win this one putting the 2-2 with the Lakers this year, I think?

My dad bought the playoff tickets and I'm flying back for a few games. So excited about this.

Sweet, bro! Tell your dad to gimme his ticket when the Lakers come to town for the playoffs! Very Happy

For 46 minutes of that game, it could have gone either way. Both teams played well...until 2 minutes left, the Lakers faded! The Kings simply just outplayed the Lakers in the closing minutes. What a great game, though!

Didn't know you were back in town... Joe have you been to a game in Arco?
Crazy how Arco gets during those games. It's a really intense place to be. Then the skyline lounge after the game to meet some ladies.

There is no love between these teams. Bibby drilled that running jumper and was screaming profanity. Everyone in the game is talking trash. Gotta love the fact that teams this close can be such intense rivals. Divides the State...

I wish I could have seen the Mavericks vs. Spurs tonight also. That would have got me going as well. I need that league pass thing and like 4 TV's. Not to mention I've been watching NCAA's all day.

No, not back in town...yet! But for a Kings/Lakers playoff game, I'll go anywhere!

This has been a great day in basketball. The Spurs/Mavs game looked real good. The Big Dance had its upsets. If you don't like any of what happened in basketball today, you don't like basketball! Smile

Did you see how Missouri "won"?

The Spurs/Mavs game was awesome, I only got to see the end part though when they were showing bonus coverage on TNT. The Lakers/Kings game was good too, I'm glad the Kings won. Kings/Blazers on Saturday, that should be a good game. The playoffs are coming...April 19, I'm excited!

Missouri game was great keeps part of my bracket alive. My bracket is screwed up already though. Creighton was supposed to go far for me but lost... I think I have 3 losses in my picks already.

Hey Grace, if the game's in Sacramento, the Kings will win by 23. If the game's in Portland, the Blazers will only lose by 22! Laughing

Seriously, Grace, the Blazers need a lot of help. Rasheed Wallace and Bonzi Wells are awesome, but who else do they have? Pippen? Old. Sabonis? Old. Stoudamire? Can't win must win games. Derek Anderson's good, but inconsistent. Ruben Patterson? The self-proclaimed "Kobe Stopper"? The last time they faced the Lakers, Kobe lit up Ruben for 40 points!

In order for them to compete, they need a consisten shooting guard, a younger center, and better small forward. They're a great team and could surprise any team in the league, but I doubt they'll go far in the playoffs.
