I hope Bynum doesn't play and for us I hope some one comes off of that injured list. I just want this game to be competitive.

It will be a hard game for the Clips. If they win, it would be a miracle, If they lose this one, go down fighting hard.

No Camby, and probably no Thornton...this could be rough. Hopefully Bynum chooses not to make his debut tonight.

Wish we had a full roster this would be the perfect game for Bynum to return.

I know we're still about half hour from the tip, but has anyone got a link good to go?

Uh oh, Blue uni's.

Kobe doing it easy so far by the looks of it...

Looks like it's going to be another long night.

32% from the field, Lakers cruising with 0 turn overs, few minutes I've seen the offense looks ugly, not looking good.

Lakers are pretty much in control right now

Nice move by Taylor.

Gordon to Jordan. Dunk.

54-44 Lakers at the half. 10 points down is not that bad considering it could be worse. We have to limit our turnovers and put the ball in the hole. We are hitting the boards, but are only 39% from the field we have 8 turnovers to their 1. Their length has always been an issue, but we need to get better looks.

not a bad start to the game...i was expecting worse...we need to be more aggressive!

The game really isn't as close as 10 points.

I said before that Kobe was cruising, it looks like the whole team could really step it up another few notches and really blow us out.

At the half, the score looks better than it actually is. Why is it that we're down 10, yet it seems like we're down 20? Well, maybe the 2nd half will look different...goooo Clips.
