ZOMG, you guys. There's actual basketball on tonight. At 7:00 p.m. California time, the U.S. Men's National Team will be holding an intrasquad scrimmage, its last before the roster is finalized for the FIBA Worlds next month. Our very own Lamar Odom will run with the white team alongside Derrick Rose, the gentleman pictured above. The game is on ESPN2 and will be played under international rules.

Here are the teams you'll be seeing.

Wait... no Theo Ratliff?! WTF, Jerry Colangelo? Where do you expect all these young bucks to get their manhood knowledge?

Anyhoo, Tyreke Evans was supposed to participate but is out with an ankle injury.

Comment away if you happen to be watching!

Hoo boy. It's the last game thread of the 2009-10 campaign. Good thing I brought Kleenex - not sure I'm going to be able to keep it together.

I hope you'll all sign my yearbook before the night's up! I'll never forget all the crazy things we did together this season. Silver Screen and Roll Class of 2010 rocks the fucking bells!

Your Game Seven drinking-game triggers are whenever someone mentions:

• The home team's all-time record in NBA Finals Game Sevens,
• How Phil Jackson has never coached in a Finals Game Seven,
• Kobe Bryant's "legacy,"
• "The absence of Kendrick Perkins," or
• The Larry O'Brien Trophy.

Leave it all out on the floor tonight.

Here are your first-half stats.

Welcome, amigos, to the biggest night of the year. I suspect I'm not the only one feeling a bit nervous right about now. Maybe a little liquid courage will give me some actual courage.

Your drinking-game triggers, one hopes not the last set of the season, include when anyone mentions:

• "Do or die,"
• "Win or go home,"
• "Anything can happen in a Game Seven,"
• "The pressure's all on [insert name of team]," or
• "Elimination game."

It's time to make a stand.

Here are your first-half stats.

Welcome to another NBA Finals commentorama! No outside food or vuvuzelas, please. ("Commentorama" is a registered trademark of Silver Screen and Roll, Inc.)

Knock back some liquid courage whenever someone mentions:

• Shrek and Donkey,
• The draining of knees,
• Lamar Odom and "inconsistency" in the same sentence,
• How the Celtics don't want to go back to L.A. down 2-3, or
• The Celtics "getting out in transition."

Go on. Get commenting!
