    I hope Kobe puts on a show, but the Jazz are probably going to win this game pretty convincingly, fighting for the 8th seed.

    Only if the Rockets lose to the Kings. Cousins out, news just came through that Karl will be fired. I mean crazier things have happened but I don't think there's anyway the Rockets lose that game.

    I agree, but the Jazz have to win to keep their hopes alive. This is the same Rockets team that lost to the Suns about a week ago, and I'd rather see the Jazz play GS anyways. Ik Harden would be fun to watch in the playoffs but the Jazz have played the Warriors tough all year.

    My guess is 1 of 2 things happens: 1. They retire both. 2. They ask Kobe which he'd rather have retired and go with whatever his answer is. The reason is the stats/accomplishments he put up with each number were VERY similar so there's certainly not an obvious favorite or anything, so that's how I see it going..

    Anyways guys holy s--- this is too crazy...Can't believe I'm here and going tonight..Just walked down to staples center and checked everything out, the team store is absolutely ridiculous right now lol, basically all Kobe merch with jackets costing 6k, a 38k hat, everything you could possibly imagine...People all over the place, news cameras all over the place. I haven't slept since Monday night but I feel great and doubt I'll even try to take a nap before hand, not the least bit tired.

    There's some pre game stuff outside the arena starting at 4, I'll probably check that out too. It's been a really cool day already, even the flight was pretty awesome, spent about half of it talking to the guy next to me about Kobe, the Lakers, basketball etc.
