Monday Night DTOUR Thread
It's a long, agonizing wait until Tuesday night. But we're here to help, after the jump.
Typical Eastern Conference Basketball Game
(artist's impression)
Tonight in other action around the NBA, we have three games:
First, the Charlotte Bobcats will attempt to stave off a sweep at the hands of the Orlando Magic. Then the plucky Christmas Deer will try to take a second game in their series against the magical disappearing Atlanta Hawks. Finally--in the battle royale of the night--Portland and Phoenix will break the 2-2 tie that currently joins them. As Bill Murray used to ask . . .
¿Quién es más macho?
Note: This is a trick question, as the answer is always Manu Ginobili.

I heard Breaking Bad was off the proverbial chain last night. Anyone? I’m going to go home, read some Dr. Seuss to the tot, hang out with my wife and then watch Walt murphy’s law up the place.
Yeah, it was excellent, in that excruciating way it has of being excellent.

I love basketball but this bobcats/magic game is miserable… why does this get prime tv when game 5 for us will be on NBATV?

Woah woah woah. Game 5 is on NBATV? Are you fucking kidding me?
I did a lot of soul searching. I didn't find anything.
NBATV is like Wimbledon’s Graveyard of Champions, Court 2 if my guess proves correct.

Oh that blows. I’ll be at the game. We were blown out in the playoff game I want to last year. God it was awful. That shit better not happen again.

The world’s first undersea restaurant opened 5 years ago this month at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa Rangali Island, and to celebrate the anniversary the restaurant is offering guests the chance to not only eat under the sea but sleep under it as well. The 12-seat restaurant will be converted to a private bedroom suite for two, complete with private champagne dinner and breakfast in bed.

Where are our picks for the other series? I’ve forgotten mine, but I think I predicted the Bobcats would be swept.
