Jordan would also just make shit up and then believe it just so he could feel slighted by his opponents, like he was on both ends of a chain e-mail.

If it weren't for huge, career-altering injuries the Lakers would be looking up at the Roy/Oden/Aldridge Blazers right now.

Watching Ware's injury live in HD was horrifying. Especially since it took a bit for you to realize what you just witnessed. I'm just glad the mics didn't pick up the bone shattering sound and accompanying scream that occurred (that or the time delay guys were real good).

As gruesome as it is, bone breaks don't seem to have the same long-term implications of say, major joint injuries.

In any case, I really hope the kid has good insurance.  I know some student athletes wind up on the hook for treating injuries they suffered in-game.

Pretty sad that a booster can buy a player a Bentley (and get away with it for 2-3 years), but I bet if alumni offended to pay Ware's medical bills the NCAA would immediately throw a fit. Hopefully this all gets straightened out.

College sports is a multibillion dollar industry based on unpaid labor and housed in nonprofit universities.  I'd be shocked if there weren't a constant stream of ethics violations and conflicts of interest.  The whole system's a travesty.

The western conference is so freaking competitive. The spread from #1 seed to #5 seed is only 5 games. Compare that to the eastern conference where its 17 games.

Also I love how the Jazz are putting pressure on the Lakers. They have won 5 in a row now and they own the tiebreaker with the Lakers. Huge game tomorrow for that last seed. Mavericks at LA.

Knicks versus Heat tonight but meaningless as Chalmers, Lebron, and Wade aren't playing.


But Lakers/Mavericks should be good.

Quote
1. Fact or Fiction: The Lakers will make the playoffs.


Kevin Arnovitz, ESPN.com: Fact. The Jazz own the tiebreaker, which means the Lakers have to be a full game better than Utah with eight remaining. It'll be tight, but the Lakers still have an edge in talent and seven out of eight games at Staples Center (one is a "road game" against the Clippers). With a break or two -- say, the Spurs packing it in on the last Sunday of the regular season in Los Angeles -- the Lakers should squeak in.

Jim Cavan, KnickerBlogger: Fiction. L.A.'s stouter home stretch (four .500-plus teams -- five if you count the "home" Clippers -- come to Staples) and general unpredictability make for a potential disaster in wait. This is still very much a toss-up, but sooner or later the promises and the platitudes ("We got this!") fall hard and hollow.

Spencer Ryan Hall, Salt City Hoops: Fiction. The Lakers seem like the college student who assumes his dad's connections will get him into law school, but he never bothers to go to class or study. The rejection letter is going to be a painful wakeup call in Lakers Land. All but one of their last eight games are at Staples, but every opponent is tough.

Ian Levy, The Two Man Game: Fiction, particularly because of their remaining schedule. Dallas, Memphis, Golden State, Houston, San Antonio, Portland and the Clippers are all waiting for them. They're staggering toward the finish line and, for all the improvements they've made in the past two months, still look likely to collapse just short.

Darius Soriano, Forum Blue and Gold: Fact. The odds are not in their favor thanks to a difficult closing schedule and the fact that they're banged up. But, they play seven of their eight remaining games in Staples Center and have shown a lot of fight with their backs against the wall. If there's any scenario in which they make a run, this is it.

2. Fact or Fiction: The Jazz will make the playoffs.


Arnovitz: Fiction, although this five-game winning streak gives me pause, even if it did come against a cupcake schedule. Utah is scoring in bunches and should finish the season with some gusto, but if the Lakers win the games their supposed to, figure the Jazz need to finish their final seven games 5-2. I think they'll fall one game shy.

Cavan: Fact. Utah boasts a five-game winning streak, a favorable home stretch and the all-important tiebreaker with the Lakers. If the Jazz can take three of those home games, and maybe steal a fourth in Golden State or Minnesota, the Lakers will be hard-pressed to make up the necessary ground for a last-minute blitz.

Hall: Fact. It's possible I'm simply intoxicated with the euphoria of the first five-game Utah win streak of the season, but the Jazz are finally playing like a team that could make noise in the playoffs. The memory of the recent 3-12 stretch is all but gone and the team is peaking at the right time with a healthy Mo Williams.

Levy: Fact. They have a half-game edge over the Lakers and have righted the ship, winning their past five after an extended, brutal stretch of play that threatened to drop them out of contention. Mo Williams is finally back into the swing of things and Al Jefferson has been devouring opponents on the interior. While the Lakers' performance continues to swing wildly back and forth, the Jazz are trending upward.

Soriano: Fiction. The Jazz are hot at the right time and control their own destiny. But they play three of their final seven games on the road, including their final two games. Combine those contests with tough home games versus the Thunder and Nuggets and I see them falling behind the Lakers to close the year.
