Not feeling punished enough from last night's loss in Phoenix? Well have I got the thing for you. The road trip ends tonight in Los Angeles, where Kobe and the Lakers will play host to the Knick hotshots. Perhaps some hot shooting tonight can balance out last night's near-drunk performance. Maybe just enough to upset one of the best teams on the planet? You never know! What we do know is that Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol pose a problem just like AmShaq did in Phoenix. Keep an eye on which Knicks attack the rim and try to get those big kids in foul trouble, and how D'Antoni's guards defend the pick-and-roll. Should be xxxciting! Tipoff's at 10:30. Leave them comments, friends. Oh, and would anybody be game for a recap? I've got two finals tomorrow and wouldn't be able to have one up until the late afternoon. Which I guess wouldn't be that unusual, but still...anybody?
By the way, the above jersey falls into the category of "huge jerseys that I owned when I was in third grade that would fit me now but my mom threw them out and I still sometimes have night terrors because of the loss".
Update: Can't believe I forgot. Guess who might be in attendance tonight? I know the game's not at MSG, but can we get a special edition "Gimme a Minute" for tonight?

they've sacrficied commentating to interview alyssa milano about her clothing line for the past 5 minutes

Dude, I fuckin' hate Sasha Vujacic

ive gotta say i have a soft spot for kobe
until he plays the knicks. now i hate him.

why is he always soaking wet?
i have a theory that right before each game, lakers assistant brian shaw heads down to the swamplands of california to wake sasha, who is sleeping half-submerged beneath some lilypads.

"swampy" may be the worst adjective for a girl i've ever heard.

yes!
especially when he’s got a little fire and doesn’t settle for the weak-ass kick-outs.
kobe gone jersey-pulling and lee pays no mind.

Lee reminds me
once a half that he’s an absolute animal.

there’ve been fewer and fewer plays where i want to rip my hair out
such good defense by chandler on kobe
on that last possession. BOOS!

second half
this hot shooting simply can’t continue. and the lakers will start connecting on them little bunnies. so the defense gotta be twice as furious and they’ve gotta attack the rim and get to the line. the onus is on du and nate to make that happen. the forwards can’t settle either.
nate: “shake and bake”. he would love talladega nights.

good half fellas
i would stress going to the hole with a vengeance! we’re dumping jumpers on these mopes, let’s flush a few.
i'm thorougly impressed with the first half
and it’s a good sign that it was q-rich then nate who lit it up (i.e. not harrington). but i’m afraid it’s going to be raining bricks in the staples center in the second half.
and it begins.
chandler bricks. kobe hits.

Let's get back to pick and roll
if they start taking retarded threes, I’m going to have a heart attack

I won’t

not if a small guy
does it against a big guy, and then the small guy lays there as though he was the one that got hit.
once again: I fucking hate sasha vujacic

harrington with the uhhh... aggression
david lee still on the horizon.. hang in there… we’re down but not at all out.
ahhriooootgggggggg
oh well. 11-14. knicks made a statement anyway.

aw man great game
such a heartbreaker
but look- despite the trades we made this season, and the absence of the present stephon marbury, we are not ill-equipped. we can beat the best of the best. we need an extra push. but we only played 7 guys. so look, add lebron and wade to the mix and imagine the pummeling these pallokas would have just received.
82-0 in 010! right?
