LeBron is questionable. I think he'll sit out tonight.

Rare with the seizing of the oppurtunity :) - terrific job

Detroit
Celtics (I'd guess KG and Ray are playing)
Cavs - if LBJ plays, if not, Seattle.
Suns (now watch the Spurs win, heh)

KG is not, Ray is.

KG being out is probably a blessing in disguise, as Scal is going to D up Dirk and hold him to 3-14 shooting (10 points) while Scal dominates Dirk offensively and goes 5-6 from 3 point land and scores 26 in the game.

Ahh..

Well, I'm going to stick with Boston. Being at home and probably step up their game. Plus I'd like to see Dallas lose. :)

Haha, that'd be fun. Maybe he could do something, though... he is pretty mobile for a big and has some bulk.

Posey should be able to defend him, though, even with KG out, not at the basket, for when Dirk drives. Perkins and others may still be enough for the last line.

This could be a preview of the NBA Finals this year with the Celtics and Mavs.

Odds

Favorite Line Underdog
at Detroit 7 1/2 LA Lakers
at Boston 2 1/2 Dallas
Cleveland 4 at Seattle
at Phoenix 7 San Antonio


I am sort of shocked that Boston is only a 2 1/2 point favorite at home when they have 5 less losses than anyone else in the league.
