    Some idiot caller on The Fan actually criticized him for that grin. They said it showed immaturity and that he wasn't taking things seriously. I agree with you. I think it was a great sign that, A) he wasn't getting down on himself and that he was having fun with it. And B) he was enjoying getting under Howard's skin and getting him out of his game.

    That user usually does every game, but it's only of Nic but still sweet.


    And this one is NBA.com's or something, looks like this user is also trying to do every game

    It's a GAME! Winning is FUN!

    Grinning during a loss == bad
    Grinning during win == good

    I expected that, what with the signing of Sasha Pavlovic and Jared Jeffries. The Lakers are always riding our coattails.

    And yet the only highlights SportsCenter showed was Nash getting injured and Kobe fumbling the ball out of bounds. :crazy:

    Add in all of us in LA/San Diego who don't have Time Warner Cable. Down in SD I don't know anyone that has anything other than Cox or ATT Uverse, both of which were blacked out (well, Cox for sure, but i think ATT was too).

    I think they do it in 15-min or so chunks and average out...

    Exactly. Everybody loves a surprise and people know who Dwight, Kobe, Nash, and Pau are (yawn)... The Blazers are a team of secret no name assasins. It makes for an intriguing storyline.
