Is that Yo Yo Ma?

If so, seems strange, because the last thing I think of when I think of the Lakers or Kobe, is a cello.

Oh, well regardless of who it is, it's an odd choice.

He's really good, mind you.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

My ultimate wish (well two of them) for this game is that Dame scores 82 and the Blazers win.

 

[illmatic99]

how the hell do you play a game after this

 

[BlazerBeav]

Let’s hope we can and they can’t. We need every win.

 

[illmatic99]

starting gabriel is the dumbest decision terry could make. cant believe this idiot

 

[DUB]

I’m glad they put up the name of all of those that died in the crash, and I especially like that they listed them in alphabetical order. It shows that all lives are equally precious, not just famous ones.

 

[julius]

I've already put this in the L column, so I don't really care what happens. I suspect the Lakers will come out really strong, and Portland will be how they've been most of the season.

 

[Cugel]

Let’s hope we can and they can’t. We need every win.

ya cant. not a hope in hell

 

[BrianFromWA]

Boyz II Men still got it.

You could tell Lawrence Tanter got choked up a few times there.

For real...damn

 

[beast blazer]

Rnb singers should not sing the anthem

 

[KSF-ERIC]

We have no chance. We’ll lose by 100.

 

[Chris Craig]

Damn Lebron

 

[Natebishop3]

Are they gonna let the players warm up again?

 

[B-Roy]

Well everyone that wanted Gabriel....you got what you wanted.

 

[BrianFromWA]

You think this would’ve been Magic 8 months ago?

 

[Darkwebs]

Are they gonna let the players warm up again?

Good question.

And are they gonna let the Blazers lube up? Because they're gonna get f*cked in the ass by the refs.

 

[Chris Craig]

Are they gonna let the players warm up again?

No

 

[Wade Garrett]

Damn Lebron

Cannot be easy..
Respect.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

This will be like 1992 All Star Game when Drexler should’ve won MVP but they made the end of the game all about Magic. No chance.

 

[Chris Craig]

Cannot be easy..
Respect.

Respect totally...I was surprised by his...I was told to say this by the team, but fuck that...

 

[Natebishop3]

We are gonna get to watch this all again at the all star game.

 

[H.C.]

Good question.

And are they gonna let the Blazers lube up? Because they're gonna get f*cked in the ass by the refs.

No different from any other Blazer v Laker game this year.

 

[julius]

Well everyone that wanted Gabriel....you got what you wanted.

Who, like 2 people?

 

[illmatic99]

That was great from Lebron, couldnt have been easy to deliver
