Minneapolis isn't the land of 10,000 lakes, Minnesota is. Yeah I know they came from there, still think they should've changed their name when they moved.

In all seriousness, I would not take the Spurs lightly at all. In fact, barring that loss to the Nets last week (I believe Manu was out in that game), the Spurs are 13-6 or something.

On the other hand, for homecourt in the Finals' sake, though we cannot catch the Cavs for the best overall record, we need to make sure ours is still better than the Magic's!! So although we are very likely to earn the best record out west, we still need to win at least 3 - 4 more the rest of the way.

The Lakers have proven they can afford to have a bad quarter or even two against us. And we've proven that even when that happens, we can't afford to have one bad quarter against them. We need to put together 4 good quarters today and that is going to be even tougher being in LA.

I don't care what other Lakers fans have to say, but today's game is equal important for both teams.

Oh, by the way, our HD channel is going to show the Cavs @ the Celtics at 1am my time (just over an hour from now), but NOT the Spurs @ the Lakers?!

Wow the Lakers are taking it to the Spurs, although that was a nice offensive tip-in. Nice run has put the Spurs within 4!

After those couple of T's, all I saw was Kobe trying to force it and ended up turning it over a time or two and then the third or whatever ended up in a jump ball. We just need to keep up the defensive intensity and hope to God that George Hill is alright.

Good thing we play 2 halfs. Not a big fan of the Lakers falling behind and then making the push in the 4th. Hopefully they come out of the half with some energy and make an early push.

[bageleaterkkjji]
