Quoted: In the ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, Marcia C. Smith reports "History lends the Lakers, who are down 3-2 in the best-of-7 NBA Finals, the word never. Only eight teams in NBA history have rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win a seven-game playoff series, but no team has ever done it to win an NBA championship.

Quoted: The Los Angeles Lakers' 103-98 win over the Boston Celtics to avoid elimination averaged a 10.1 fast national rating on ABC, the network said Monday. That's an 11 percent increase over the 9.1 for Game 5 of the Dallas-Miami series in 2006.

Quoted: Game 3 of the NBA Finals drew the highest television ratings of the series. The Lakers' 87-81 win Tuesday night earned a 9.2 rating on ABC, the network said Wednesday. That's up 44 percent from the 6.4 last year for Spurs-Cavaliers.

Here's a nice picture of Mr. 36 Points for Drock.

Quoted: The Lakers held on to win tonight, 87-81, over the Boston Celtics at Staples Center in Game 3 of the finals, slicing the Celtics' series lead to 2-1.

Tonight we're turning on the beta of our Facebook application. If you use Facebook, you can publish your InfiniteHoops game status to your news and mini-feeds so your friends know when you can play and you can recruit them to your game. Your Facebook profile will show your next game details.

NBA.com has an NBA nickname generator. Funny stuff. I am not in love with Tosh "The Air Conditioner" Meston however. :)

Found this through the Faves widget on InfiniteHoops.

Quoted: Obama is extremely confident with his game, for good reason. He glides more than runs, high and soft on the balls of his feet and with graceful strides that put enough space between himself and his opponents to launch a solid left-handed jump shot. Obama, who usually plays with younger men, says he's a step too fast for most his age.

Lakes sweep the first round.

Quoted: After consecutive seasons of frustrating playoff exits against Phoenix, along with a non-playoff hiccup in 2004-05, the Lakers advanced beyond the first round for the first time since 2004. They hadn't swept a playoff series since beating New Jersey in the 2002 NBA Finals.

Quoted: Here is a video of the Sonics final home game this season where the fans are chanting "Bennett Sucks!! Bennett Sucks!!" Have a view...
