AAAAaaaaawwwwww, Metta World Elbow was on Conan and I missed him? 
Shit.
He needs to fess up that he succumbed to an angry impulse and did it in the heat of the moment. In answer to gblew's question, the decibel level of boos will threaten to blow the roof off of Chesapeake Arena. Metta is not beloved here. Not one iota. Lots of joking around on sports radio on the most creative way to welcome MWE to town. But we kid, we kid......maybe. 
I expect the Lakers' to win the Nuggets series, of course, but if you could drop the game tonight so Perk's hip will have an extra day or two to rest and recuperate, I'd be ever so grateful.
No damage to the joint. No tears to any ligaments, praise be. It's just a tricky thing when that muscle right there is strained really badly. Perk needs to be able to pivot laterally when he gets in Bynum and Gasol's way like the good, mellow shy little boy he is. 
He was held out of practice today and is receiving treatment on it regularly with proper stretching, massage, heat therapy and rest. Day to day, officially, but it's looking good. Should be a great series.
Some columnist dude on Bleacher Report wrote a column on why the Lakers are going to sweep the Thunder this series. Apparently he was serious. Even the Lakers' fans were saying, "Dude, they took 2 games from us 2 years ago when they were much worse and we were better--let me have some of what you're smoking." If he'd written a column about how the Lakers might win the series--fine. If he'd mentioned Perk's tender hip, that might have made sense. But he thinks the brooms are imminent and didn't cite Perk's hip pain as a reason. Apparently the Thunder sucks and I never noticed.
I'm not sure anyone can beat the Spurs. The Spurs could methodically, calmly take Miami apart. Everyone in the media ignores them. It's a mistake.
EDIT--Thank you, Denver. I thank you. Perk's hip thanks you, too.

Thunder up. We have to find a way to beat those Nuggets. Of course if thursday night's Lakers team ends up joining us for the 2nd round, all the better. It's already in the bag if that happens. Wish San Antonio would capitulate like LA, but no such luck.
