Live Blog and the Sorcerer's Stone

Prior to this game the TNT studio crew are busy talking about a far more interesting series: Cleveland v. Washington. This despite the fact that Barkley talked about that he doesn't like series that end in sweeps

Jeff Van Gundy just gave commentary about something involving coaching. I'd tell you what he said but I was too fascinated by his appearance. He looked like a recovering methadone addict on a 48 hour crack binge.

Boozer's acne level is at Purplish red.

Mike Fratello comments that Harpring has been playing "above his head" in this series. Not hard to do when your head is normally at floor level from falling over so much.

Battier misses a three. Hot Dog juice spills everywhere.

Tracy McGrady drives right past Derek Fisher to get to the rim, but gets an MLA after getting a contact high from Fisher the last couple game and absorbing his MLA-Superpowers.

Boozer tries to shoot through Yao's arms. Shocked to discover the Chinaman isn't intangible or building a railroad through the American West.

Fisher hacks Yao Ming and raises his hand to signal he fouled him. You know, in case the officials confuse him for that other black guy from Utah.

Kirilenko grabbing several early rebounds. Harpring scrambling madly for his Russian voodoo doll.

Fisher attempts to charge through three Rockets. Falls over instead. On the positive side that allows him to blow his coverage on the other end and let McGrady score an easy three.

Fisher picks up a charging foul and spills Hot Dog Juice all over the floor in the process.

Just showed a Toyota commercial where a Tacoma survives a mauling by a monster truck. Too Bad. I was rooting for the monster truck. Anything that looks like a dinosaur and eats metal vaguely reminds me of mom.

Madame Kicky is bitching to one of her friends about the evils of diet pills. My favorite blast: "We'll see if it works....when you're dead!"

New Favorite when the phone call was ending: "Goodbye...perhaps forever!"

Kirilenko gts a crazy block against Yao. The struggle for the ball was reminiscient of Mongolia stuck between the Russians and the Chinese.

Gordan Giricek hits an open three. Imagine if that guy was our starting shooting guard!

Fratello praising the value of the deflections statistic. Matt Harpring leads the league in dribbling off his foot in traffic, but no mention is made if that counts towards deflections or not.

Mutombo makes the "Harpring deflection" out of bounds. Fratello's giving him a hustle point.

I love that Deron Williams has some variation of his name tattooed on each arm. You know...in case he forgets.

TNT showing highlights from game 3 and 4 and have somehow made the film look old even though it was only a few days ago. I was half expecting George Mikan to throw down a dunk in that grainy footage.

McGrady drives to the hoop at will. Someday he may figure out that no one can stop him when he does that.

TNT switches to some bizarre camera angle that can only be described as "viewpoint of a drunk guy in Section 321."

Holy crap, this game is actually looking like both teams may score 90+ points.

Tracy McGrady's back is sore. John Amaechi unavailable for comment.

Harpring dribbles off his knee brace and commits a turnover. In fairness, the brace is roughly the size of a large baby. Good thing we have the brace signed for 3 more seasons after this one.
