Worthy of Your Attention
The Playoffs are right around the corner. In fact there is only one more weekend after this one in the NBA’s regular season. And as great as this season has been, it’s about time the “real” one started. Kobe and Shaq are certainly ready.
There are a bunch of great matchups this weekend, starting with the Mavs/Lakers tilt in L.A. tonight. The last time these two teams met in Los Angeles, Dirk and Kobe had a shootout, and the Lakers eventually pulled out an overtime win. Dallas is playing well of late, and a win tonight would do wonders for their confidence.
The Spurs are in Utah tonight in a game that could have major implications on their Playoff seeding, especially considering the fact that the West-leading New Orleans Hornets are hosting the Knicks.
(The Jazz might be the most under-appreciated 50-win team ever; here’s a chance for them to earn a little more respect.)
ABC lucked out on Sunday, as it’ll broadcast the two best games of the day: Warriors/Hornets, Mavs/Suns.
Shockingly, this will only be Chris Paul’s second nationally-televised game of the season. This is obviously a good thing for the Hornets franchise, but even more importantly, for the casual fan. It would have been kind of weird if the average fan had only seen the guy that might very well be the MVP of the League on the SportsCenter highlights.

That Shaq/Kobe commercial is fantastic. If that’s not a blatant attempt to promote what matchup the Sternbot wants to see, I don’t know what is.

Matt Moore says:
Marcell, yes, Hornets-Pistons was on a month ago. It’s not on the schedule as such because ABC used one of its flex schedule options on it as to avoid having the Heat on national television and thereby causing brain damage to its viewers.

Shoot my last comment dissappeared. Is slam getting hacked or something? Anyway as I tried to write Eboy. I was going to email you the photo but the address is suspect to me because there is a duplicate post of you on the postup now at 3:49. I think if you posted it, that it will be the address used to impersonate you on here. Is the email legit? And Holly (if she’s here). Can Ips be tracked on these posts?

James, that is my e-mail and I see the other post you referenced. It’s not a big deal, I’d want to be me too, if I was that character.

The same jerkoff posted something on the Shawn Marion page too, James. It’s late on a Friday and spring break has started. The next week should be horrible around here regardless due to the 12 year olds that will be coming through as they normally do.
