Lakers trade with CharLOtte - Radma fOr Shan BrOwn and adam MOrrisOn..
It was announced when Lakers was in Cleveland - "space cadet" and "my favorite martian" were some of the crazy pet names Lakers coach Phil Jackson would call Vlad Radmanovich. When spotlight was shying away from him, Lakers knew it was time for a change and Vlad was pretty open for a change anyway.
Now Vlad goes to the Charlotte Bobcats..
..and here comes Shannon Brown and Adam Morrison.

LA LAKERS-BOSTON CELTICS finals-level battle
Temperatures never rose above 20 degrees and it was all snow and ice in Boston thursday night. No doubt it was winter in New England.
Yet in the TD Banknorth Garden..
Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics - two of the top teams in the NBA battling for the best record in the league and last year's greatest contenders - turned up the heat in an intense, Finals-level battle. Lakers stood their ground and struck back at the Celtics with a hard-fought 110-109 overtime win.
And I'm sorry to be sOOO subjective on this next part, of course there was Kobe Bryant, who had been brilliant in New York on Monday with 61 points and in Toronto on Wednesday with 36. He was far from great on Thursday, going 10-for-29 from the field, but he was great when the Lakers needed him most: in crunch time.
And as quoted by the Big Ticket KG himself (who was fouled out in the 4th quarter):
"It was very tough to watch," Garnett said. "More than anything, it's frustrating. I never like to miss any games. I've always said if I can walk, I can play. It tells you what kind of days I had.
"We're not here to talk about me, we're here to talk about how we let a good opportunity slip."
As for wanting another opportunity to take on the Lakers again, Garnett left no doubt.
"Hell, yeah," he said, "we're the champs, right?"
For now, yes. But if the Celtics aren't careful, they could get a good look at the Lakers doing a victory dance at Staples Center in June. As for the Lakers, they will spend the next 36 hours in Boston before flying to Cleveland for a game Sunday against LeBron James and the Cavaliers. In that time, they can revel in the fact they are the best basketball team on the planet.

kObe's 61 sets recOrd fOr mOst pOints in madisOn square..
Kobe Bryant has scored 61 points against the New York Knicks, breaking the record for a game at the current Madison Square Garden.
Bernard King had 60 points for the Knicks on Dec. 25, 1984. Bryant surpassed that mark by hitting two free throws with 2:33 left in the Los Angeles Lakers' 126-117 win Monday night.
Bryant shot 19-of-31 from the floor and made all 20 foul shots. He left to a standing ovation with 1:48 to go.
Lamar is not even surprised and had no idea at all about Kobe setting up a record.

it's just dark here..
FigurativeLy.
My LOLO died yesterday.
EarLier this week, my mOther texted that everybOdy was Laying Out sOme pLans fOr a get-together since granpOp's birthday is On january 27 and it's been traditiOn. The way i gOt the message when my mOther texted in came thrOugh Like buLLets tO me - because i just dOn't know. 'Twas weird. The kind Of feeLing that's getting in tO me when i knOw sOmething bad wiLL happen. That was why.
Yesterday, everybOdy was just trying tO caLL and have cOntact with me but I Left my phOne in my dOrm and it was untiL 4pm that I found Out that he's.. weLL, gOne.
When i Left Last year, i remember him just spending the whOLe day sitting On that favOrite chair Of his facing the teLevisiOn; muscLes frOze in aLL the Left part Of his face; can bareLy Open his mouth tO get any fOOd/Liquid in; he OnLy gets tO have a LiL strOLL Outside the hOuse and the memory Of him Lifting his Left hand up tO give me a highfive everytime I visit him is just tOO fresh Of a memOry fOr me fOLLOwed by that cLassic smiLe [tO what i caLL it] that cOuLd warm a granddaughter's sOuL. He was aLways restLess and hyperactive and enthusiastic and as far as I cOuLd remember, my favOrite part being with him [especiaLLy when I was being reprimanded at home] is the way he Laughs in DOLphy's funny tactics in his tv shOws. He just kinda burst Out a crazy Laugh aLthOugh I have nO cLue as tO what was funny abOut it. I LOOk at him and just eventuaLLy made me Laugh tOO. I wOn't fOrget the tattOO that he aLways brag abOut - tO my knOwLedge it's On the Left side Of his chest, i beLieve it's a crucifixiOn tattOO and that LittLe marbLe-Like thing On his kneebOne. The stOries that were passed On by my father, grandma, aunts and uncLes abOut his Once being a herO [in his Own right] when the revOLutiOn brOke Out and hOw he gaLLantLy fOught and escaped frOm the capture Of the Japanese sOLdiers. And it makes me smiLe that everytime I jOin them in their dining tabLe especiaLLy during dinner - LOLa wiLL aLways give him the sOft parts Of whether it's chicken, fish Or pOrk. Hahaha! because he dOesn't have teeth anymOre. That's why i'm aLways amused everytime he Lets Out a smiLe. I wOnder why LOLa didn't get him faLse teeth - he might have kinda get used tO it Over the years. But he's the mOst handsOme LOLO in the wOrLd.
Dead. FLat. LifeLess. BasicaLLy NOT the image Of my LOLO that's fOrever etched in my brain.
When i read aLL Of the text messages frOm my phOne One after the Other, i was hOping that the next One wiLL be different, hOping that it was a big jOke pLayed On me because he can't just wait tO see me, that he misses me sO much, One Of his "favOrite apO", and that he was aLive!
They're aLL but One message.
=(
I'm in the Office right nOw. Right here in my statiOn. SettLing my emOtiOns and gathering my thOughts fOr this bLOg. I was Late fOr wOrk tOday because I had tO grace a 5Oth GOLden JubiLee ceLebratiOn Of Our Lady Of Sacred Heart SchOOL in GaLas QuezOn City. I rendered a sOng and judged the battLe Of the bands. It was nOt easy Last night, I knOw the extent Of my interest fOr music but Last night was just heLL. I was trying tO LOOk sO cOOL and reLaxed and struggLing tO Let Out a smiLe tO everyOne in the audience knOwing that in my heart - i'm empty.
I hate this. I have my shades On tO have my eyes cOvered yet tears keep faLLing frOm it.
I aLready purchased my pLane tickets tO gO hOme tO see everybOdy On march 3.
GOD, it cOuLd have OnLy been a mOnth away.

kOng hei fat chOi!
Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the Lunar New Year, especially by people outside China. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Year's Eve is known as Chúxī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".
Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbours, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction.
Now, look at how these Asian countries celebrate the Chinese New Year:
HONGKONG <fantastic view!>
MALAYSIA
TAIWAN <UFOs?>
KOREA < >
SINGAPORE <UFO's?>
INDONESIA
PHILIPPINES <binOndO - the pLace tO be!>
..and speaking of Filipino-Chinese New Year?
hmmm...
I wonder how'd he go about it..
merry CHRIS-tmas and a Happy New Year TIU all of you!
