Lakers Game
I know, I know: just yesterday I was writing about how the Clippers have overtaken the Lakers as L.A.'s best and soon-to-be favorite basketball team. And it's hard to imagine Lakers fans are delighted with the Kobe-less (torn wrist ligament), Bynum-less (5-game suspension), Lamar Odom-less (traded to Dallas) starting 5 that will face the Bulls on Christmas Day. But the Clip Show is out of town on Sunday, and there are worse ways to spend an afternoon than watching reigning MVP Derrick Rose ball out in front of a crowd that will just be happy to have the NBA back. Besides, before the Lakers looked like a lottery team, you were never going to be able to get your hands on or afford these tickets. Now? Craigslist is practically giving them away. [via]
