Since it's a big game, I want to watch it completely. Which means I'd rather watch it properly when I have time, then watch it in the background while I'm doing other things tomorrow evening.

I think I'm going to watch this game tomorrow instead.

Don't bother watching the game, unless you want to see a pathetic effort and injuries.

Don't quote this either, unless you want to see what the spoiler says.

Don't thank me for the warning by quoting this either.

@Sackataters - Don't screw it up and let @nuraman00 know the result before watching it. Put your posts in Spoilers, too.

@Sackataters - Don't quote me to acknowledge that you won't post here without spoilers.

And don't quote Sackatater's responses with Spoilers, either...

The above post deserves an A+++.

I rescind that Bad Post I gave you a few weeks ago.

I can live with Dirk getting those points, he's been exceptional since early March. And, the "how can you leave that guy open" just doesn't apply, after he's done it to everyone for 18 years.

But Deron Williams??? 16 points in a quarter? It's not that hard to stop him.

Sacramento will be resting a ton of players against Houston, making a Houston loss more unlikely.

The Jazz have to also win their game too.

Kings lost to Houston by 6, lost to them by 7, and beat them by 10, in the other games this year.

The Jazz game is on ESPN 2.

I'm not going to create a separate thread for it, because the game only matters if Sacramento beats Houston. That game should be late in the 4th quarter, when the Jazz game starts.

I wonder if ESPN 2 will tell the Jazz game not to start until the Houston game ends, so everyone will know whether something is at stake.

No need. They will have a 40 minute Kobe Bryant tribute introduction with a Kobe Bryant tribute band. All the cheerleaders will be taped to their chairs. Shaq will be the drummer. Fisher will carry his coattails.

Makes sense.

Shaq is more different, personality-wise, than Kobe is.
