NBA
San Antonio Spurs at Boston Celtics Sunday 1:00 p.m. ABC
The Celtics have (as of Thursday afternoon) won 12 games in a row, own the league's best record and look every bit the team that won the championship a year ago. The Spurs are one of the few teams that can possibly put a speed bump on the Celts' way to another championship. San Antonio has won eight of its last ten games and Tony Parker and Tim Duncan are playing as well as anybody right now.
Los Angeles Lakers at Cleveland Cavaliers Sunday 3:00 p.m. ABC
It's not often that I watch a five-hour block of NBA games, but the game immediately following the Celtics-Spurs looks awfully good. The Lakers, mainly Kobe Bryant, look good despite the loss of Andrew Bynum for 8-12 weeks. Still, it will be tough to beat the Cavs, who own a perfect home record, and LeBron James, who appears to be superhuman.
NFL
NFC vs. AFC Sunday 4:30 p.m. NBC
In case you're still in denial that the football season is over, the Pro Bowl is this weekend. While it is just watered-down football, you get to see players who don't usually play together on the same field. Take, for example, the NFC starting lineup- starting QB Kurt Warner can throw to his two starting receivers Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald - crazy right? If that's not enough, at least you get to see coaches looking ridiculous wearing leis.

Kobe vs Lebron....Whos better? On the court its a toss-up. Who would you rather take on your team? I'd probably pick Lebron because he gets his team involved more and can defend all 5 positions. (Continued…)
