Well, congrats to the Cavs on the win. They had a good come back, but everyone knows they had that one handed to them on that bad call at the end against Fisher. Shame to see a game end that way, but at least it was a good hard fought game. I was hoping the lakers would close another half game on Phoenix and set up some drama for the show down on Christmas day. Still, i'll take 2.5 back from a team that most people thought would be lucky to even make the playoffs.

They played well, just wasn't their night I guess.

Lakers go as the bench goes. They did NOT show up tonight.

And that call on Fish at the end was ridiculously bad. I've never, ever seen that call go wrong. It's so easy a sixth grade ref can call it correctly. Fish should have been shooting for the tie, not for them to go up 4. Just horrific. But then again, Sideshow Bob gets away with murder at home...always has. Oh well, them's the breaks.

The worst part was it happened about 2 and a half feet from the official. He was in perfect position to make the call, he just flat out blew it. I don't like to blame the whole thing on the Refs though, I thought the Cavs played a good game. Bench production was the key, we had 4 starters in double figures, and everyone else took the night off. Kudos to the starters, but the bench has got to step it up.

Luke on LeBronze, not a good choice. Absolutely not. And Sasha on LeBron? No no no. Try Ariza, please.

Lakers beat Philly then NY Knicks.

Both I thought were crappy games....just sleepwalked through them.

Kobe got 20,000 points...almost dropped a sick triple double on the knicks only needing two dimes.

Blew a twenty some lead on the knicks to make it a five point game...pissed me off.

17-10 on the year so far.

From www.danshanoff.com;

NBA: Kobe becomes the youngest-ever to 20,000 career points. Now: What's your bet on where he ends up on the final career scoring list?

Consider: Kobe will end the SEASON in the Top 25 (probably just behind Allen Iverson). He'll crack the Top 20 after 2008-2009. He'll crack the Top 15 after the 2009-10 season. He projects to easily clear the Top 10 after the 2010-2011 season.

Top 5 all-time would be 27,410 points, passing Moses Malone. But No. 4 is Wilt at 31, 419. So let me place my bet today at No. 5.

I'll be interested to see how they play on Christmas against the Suns. It will be a good test of their defensive ability. They need to keep the pace slower and keep the Suns out of the fast break. Since no one else in my family watches basketball, I'm gonna miss it, being that it's on Christmas day, but good luck to the Lakers.
