Tip-off at 5pm on Christmas Day, should be a helluva game.

Great article from Yahoo... I can't help but think LeBron simply likes hearing his own voice.

I hope the lakers win by 63. So that means the Heat will probably win on a last second 3 by lebron.

Well, this has been a tad one-sided. LeBron with a triple-double and Chris Bosh has 22 points and 12 rebounds.

If the Lakers win....The Heat are not real contenders and cant compete with the Lakers (not that its true but thats what woudl of been said) Since the Lakers lost, its they werent interested and real time is playoff time ect lol.

Yeah just like when Cleveland blew out the Lakers on Christmas day last year. Cleveland was just better then too. How did that season end up for both teams I forget? LOL

The lakers have looked soft all season. Artest doesn't play great d anymore, fisher is old and their bench isn't very good. I just think there are better teams then the lakers. But sure, until they are knocked off the throne, it's thiers.

It still pisses me off watching LBJ play with intensity and desire, as he did tonight. A true fuckin superstar, yet he quit on his teammates last year vs Boston. There will NEVER be an excuse for his quitting on his Cleveland teammates last year!!

Get ready for Jordo, and his band of other ignorant idiots to throw out the "butt hurt" comments.

Jordan wouldn't have been embarrassed on 2 straight Christmas days with everyone watching.

If the Lakers REALLY wanted to win this game they would have gone with Pau and Bynum in at the same time the whole time and if you know anything about basketball you know this is true.

Phil Jackson clearly didn't want to play his trump card in the regular season.

I stand by my thoughts that the Heat are still incapable of winning the title.

Phil hates playing on Christmas Day and he never called 1 timeout during any of miami's runs.
He is probally hoping with each bad performance on Christmas they will take his team off the Christmas day schedule.

lol are you kidding me? So he told he players to play like shit? Because they didn't lose just because Phil refused to call a TO.

These "it wasn't a big game to L.A." posts might have a small sliver of credibility had they come before the game was played. After the fact, one just looks ridiculous saying they didn't care. They cared, and got their asses handed to them.

Yeah, OK, get back to me at Playoff time and tell me they are playing with the same intensity and focus as they did yesterday.

They must not have cared during their 19 point home loss to the Bucks on Tuesday, right? Kobe sounded as if he were ready to rape someone after the game. He didn't care either.

Of course they didn't want to win. The only time they ever lose is when they don't want to. Stern has told them to drop some games here and there because no one wants to see a 82-0 regular season followed by a sweep through the playoffs.

Did you not see the interaction between Kobe and LeBron... at the very least I'm pretty sure Kobe cared.
