The Kiera Sedgwick Invitational-Friday Night Fight

NBA Playoffs
We could potentially see two teams eliminated tonight, But..Can anybody win a road game?
Boston Celtics v. Cleveland Cavs (Boston Leads Series 3-2)
Daniel Gibson; Cleveland gaurd and one of the leagues best shooters ( When Lebron feels like dishing the ball)- separated his left shoulder in Game 5 going for a loose ball. It will be a week before Gibson can play- that may be too late for the Cav's in this potentially eliminating game tonight. Cleveland is at home, which has proven to be the ultimate advantage for every team in the 2008 playoffs. Rajon Rondo was the Celtics main man in game 5; and Boston coach Doc Rivers thinks Cleveland will be keenly aware of Rondo. Cleveland plans on staying loose and confident tonight.

LA Lakers vs. Utah Jazz (Lakers Lead Series 3-2)
Facing elimination with a loss tonight; Utah is grateful to be home.The Lakers may seem to have the advantage of knowing a loss won't end their season; but Utah holds the best home winning record in the NBA. Also promising for the Jazz tonight, Lakers Kobe Bryant. Kobe has been suffering from a back injury that was still giving him discomfort in Game 5. Other than Jazz gaurd Deron Williams; the Jazz have been inconsistent. However, Jazz coach Jerry Sloane feels confident in the increase in composure he's seen throughout the series.
