I'm thrilled to report my New Orleans Hornets beat the L.A. Lakers yesterday in L.A. A real stunner, considering the loss of power forward David West. I just didn't think we could compete with our lack of big men. Some guys really stepped up and showed they will not lie down. I hope the Hornets have what it takes to knock the Lakers out.

How's your team doing?

CP was phenominal, especially down the stretch for your team! Ice water, baby, nuthin' but net from deep. Very sweet win without West.

The Celts on the other hand, struggled mightily as expected. I am not getting too excited about the prospects of a run to the title, but it looked pretty bleak at this time last year too and they damn near did it. Lots of "ifs", Jermaine O has to keep it up or they are dead in the lane on D.

Love this time of year!

Now, I'm not suggesting that you actually LIKE the NBA, but if you truly "couldn't care any less" about the NBA then you would not have opened the thread, nevermind post.

Would you?

Must be a closet GS fan...

I'm watching Dallas v Portland. Great game! Peja Stojocovich has 21 off the bench w 5 of 10 trays. Man, I miss Peja. Kind of streaky, but, one heck of a player when he's hot. Kidd is on the bench puking. Damn, poor fella is sick.

Dallas takes game 2 and goes 2 up. Irk Novinski (no D) closed out with 33. For a big man, he can really shoot. Impressive. Dallas 101 Portland 89

I'm a fair-weathered NBA fan, to be honest.

When my Celtics are playing well, I find myself watching games and paying attention around the league. When they go through several years of futility, I can't even read the news-ticker at the bottom of the ESPN screen.

This is very different from my loyalty towards my other hometown teams. Patriots (obviously), Red Sox (I think I liked them better as lovable losers pre-2004) and my Bruins (I will literally kill someone who sounds french canadian if the Habs take this series).

I like the Bulls chances. D. Rose is playing out of his mind.

Well, Hornets open game 3 tonight in New Orleans. We are 1-1. The Lakers had best not let us get one, or god forbid two games here in the Big Easy before heading back to L.A. for game five. If they do, our momentum will be a factor, as everyone predicted we'd get whooped by them. I hope a few of our guys can step up and play competitively with them. CP3 will get his, Kobe will too, I'm sure. Go Hornets!

Well, My Hornets got their a$$ handed to them on game 3. The Lakers seem to be just too big for us to handle, especially without David West. I sure would like to see N.O. take game 4 to tie the series before heading back to L.A.

Go Hornets!
