FanHouse Nba Live Blogging

When the Suns and the Warriors get together, it's always a good time -- uptempo basketball at its finest. Both teams are coming off of close first games of the season, but with decidedly different results.

Golden State blew a 10-point halftime lead at home to fall to the Rockets, while Phoenix got an "old white guy shot" from Steve Nash in the closing seconds to get his team a road win over the Clippers.

What happens tonight is as much of a mystery as Don Nelson's distribution of minutes, but it's likely to be a lot of fun either way. So join us beginning at 10PM EST by following @NBAFanHouse, or simply read on to follow along below.

The Lakers will open the 2009-10 season by receiving their championship rings and raising their 15th banner to the rafters at Staples Center.

Oh yeah, and they'll play a basketball game too, against the unfortunately undermanned team from across the hall, the L.A. Clippers.

FanHouse has got you covered, and we'll be there live for all the festivities. So join us beginning just after 10PM EST by following @NBAFanHouse, or simply read on to follow along below.

We're pretty confident in the fact that David Stern will head to the podium at Madison Square Garden tonight to kick off the festivities by announcing, "With the first pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers select ... Blake Griffin!" We're also pretty sure that this statement will be met with an inexplicable (yet completely predictable) chorus of boos from the fans inside. But what happens next, my friends, is anybody's guess. Join us right here to discuss it all live, beginning at 7PM ET.

Free throw shooting was just one of the things that didn't go the Lakers' way in their Game 3 loss to the Magic on Tuesday. Kobe Bryant missed five times from the line, and also mised 10 of his last 12 from the field, while Orlando finished the night with the highest shooting percentage in NBA Finals history.

Will the trends continue tonight and allow the Magic to even the series, or can the Lakers swing things back in their favor and take a commanding 3-1 lead? Join us in our LIVE BLOG!

As the NBA Finals shift to Orlando for Game 3, all eyes -- and the Magic's hopes of getting back into this series -- are firmly on Dwight Howard's shoulders. Can the one they call Superman return home to dominate, or will the Lakers' defense continue to frustrate? Only one way to find out: Join us right here at 9 PM ET for all the action.

The first game of the NBA Finals was all Lakers, but a 25-point win still only counts for one. The Magic can erase all those bad memories and even the series with a win tonight in Game 2. Will Jameer Nelson be a factor? WIl Dwight Howard get more than a single field goal? Will Kobe Bryant continue to show off his new trademark scowl? Join me right here at 8PM ET, and we'll find out together.

Update: Lakers win 101-96

It's been five long (long!) days since the matchup was set, but finally, after nearly a week of previewing and prognosticating, we finally get to see for ourselves how this series will play out.

The Lakers and Magic officially tip off shortly after 9 PM on ABC, and you can join us here for our live blog, just like you can every other game of this series.

After a spectacular performance by Kobe Bryant in Game 3, the Lakers find themselves up 2-1 in their series against the Nuggets.

Although "The Birdman", Chris Anderson was in flight, the Lakers were able to contain Nuggets catalyst Carmelo Anthony. Will Carmelo be able to bounce back to his Game 1 and 2 form? Will Kobe be able to guide the Lakers one step closer to the Finals?

Join us tonight for a live blog at 9 PM EST to find out.

The NBA's spectacular Conference Finals series continues tonight with game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Orlando Magic. The Magic were able to stun the Cavs in game 1, but had their hearts ripped out by a spectacular LeBron James buzzer beater three in game 2.

Can the Cavs ride the momentum of King James' spectacular game winner? Can the Magic bounce back and re-establish Dwight Howard's game 1 dominance? Join us for a live blog tonight at 8:30 PM ET to find out.

Here we are, Game 3 of the Western Conference finals between the Nuggets and Lakers. So far, the series has lived up to it's billing, with the Lakers and Nuggets each capturing one game of the two tightly contested battles.

Saturday night is a very big game for both teams. If the Lakers win, it puts the home court advantage back in their hands. If the Nuggets win Game 4 will be a must win for the Lakers, as teams hardly are able to come back from 3-1 deficits. So you can pretty much expect the same intense battle we saw in the first two games in L.A..
