Today's lineup is below par. If the league MUST showcase the crap Lakers and Knicks, at least match them up against each other instead of spreading their crappiness over 2 games.
^There are recognizable storylines in nearly every matchup: Christmas at MSG contenders vs championship defenders Lebrons return to Miami Kobe on Christmas day (he has a record) Pau vs. His old team top two california teams
And a rematch of last year's WCF. I understand the storylines. It's just a below par lineup on whole. Like Barkley said last week... "we have to talk about the Lakers and Knicks because they're in LA and NY, but they suck."
Must be nice to be a Knicks fan though. Awful team with no discernible history of success that still gets the coverage it does.
watching melo lose when making millions and millions and winning in chicago or houston wasnt enough is weirdly extremely satisfying.

quincy acy just threw a forearm at wall... and missed. lol he looks like he could start on the all-prison basketball team
they mic-ed up wall the whole game; i wonder if they would show the soundbyte from that little tussle
