    For this game tonight, owning the spotlight is Kobe vs. Lebron, as in who gets to shoot the most number of free throws, let alone which one of the two scores the most for their respective teams.

    On a side note, this is also a game featuring the two teams with the best current records. To me, this game doesn't quite have the kind of glamor in it like one involving the Lakers and the Celtics, such as the Christmas Day game that took place, or the one coming up between those two teams on February 5th.

    For anyone who's looking forward to watching the rematch of this game tonight, circle February 8th on your calendar. That's when the teams will play again (in Cleveland), and is set to be aired on ABC at 2:30 pm CST.

    To me this is the most anticipated game of this season so far. You have 2 of the best 3 teams in the NBA. And you have the top 2 MVP candidates so far. Not to mention the same 2 are #1 and #2 best players in the world.

    If Cavs win, watch the Laker board start a million threads on trading Odom for Battier. lol

    Because they are so short-handed, it will be tough for the Cavs to win if the Lakers bring their "A" game.

    They will need a Rockets-like (from last week's Rox/LA matchup) effort to keep up.

    Great ball denial defense on Lebron by Kobe so far.

    Dislocated finger? Damn, gotta give props for that. Probably not too smart to be playing on it though.

    Even more than that considering Vujacic is back and the game is in LA.

    LeBron needs to find his brain. He made some stupid passes and took some stupid shots in the 1st quarter. It was mostly "uglyball", which favors the Cavs until the TOs late gave the Lakers some transition opportunities. Vujacic nailing that 3 after getting his layup stuffed was also big.
