Spurs
Jazz
Lake Show

I hope Cleveland gets blown out :). Probably will be a close-ish, good game, though.

Looks like a nice night of basketball.

Something interesting to look for through out the night on TNT... being the comment Iavaroni made about LBJ being a better passer than Magic. Especially if Magic is in the studio. Whether he goes against Iavaroni, or is nice and sways to LeBron. I think that'd be iffy if he went the latter way, even if it is being cool about it.

Good possibility Magic's there because of the caliber of games, the Lakers playing, their success and streak, and to talk about Bynum's knee.

Some nice games on tonight. Phoenix is going to be tough this time around as they have something to prove, and I'm not sure if the Lakers have had time to properly adjust to the absence of Bynum. Should be a fun game though.

spurs ... close through 3 and Spurs kill in the 4th

Nuggets .. i think Jazz will keep it lightweight close

And lake Sho .. Definetly a tough one with no Bynum .. but none the less a great matchup
