did D'Antoni say Dev is starting?

No. I'm just assuming that he'll get the start. Wouldn't be surprised to see D"Antoni go with Morris again though as much as I hate that.

Home game. We got this.

I don't even know now. Our superstars are wearing out and D'antoni playing them insane amount of minutes doesn't help the cause either.

I want to say we'll win but with this team and the random injuries we seem to get, this is 50/50 for me. Go Lakers...

Let's start a new winning streak!

ok, minor relapse at denver

time to hop back on the wagon

Hopefully we decide to play some damn defense. Lets go lakers!

We need this game, hell we needed the Nugget game. We're a game out of the last playoff seed, we gotta start winning a better ratio of games. Something like 4 out of every 5, if we're still going yo-yo through next month and February we can forget post season play. It's mind boggling that this team hasn't figured out decent defense 2 1/2 months into the season.

Not really. We changed our coach. Injuries. I'm confident that we'll be okay once playoffs starts.

I do not know why Dantoni didn't play Morris over Duhon. I think Morris would of faired better against Lawson on the defensive end against the Nuggets. I am a bit disturbed on some of Dantoni's choices as far as rotation and I think Duhon needs to have extremely limited minutes.

Didn't they blow past us last time we met (Nash's injured game)? Gotta beat them down this time

We will win this game. That's for sure!

That was in Portland, where it is normally hard to win anyways. It should be different this time since it is on Lakers homecourt. We need to win this one and also against the Sixers before the game with the Clippers. Hopefully their win streak is still intact and we're the one who breaks it.

the hell is up with the eastern time in the title.

pacific only!

Living here on the East coast, I don't know how you guys deal with all of the EST this, EST that! That would just blow me away. I just never had to deal with that. Like after a game, they would say, "60 Minutes up next, except on the West Coast." Like, why arent they watching the same damn thing we are? Well...can I watch what they are watching?

And when the games come on @ 7:00 pm here, its only 5pm there. Or the 12:30 games. It must really suck.

go lakers

actually much prefer west coast time. can't fathom having to stay up til 10:30 just for a game to start. im taking a shower and going to sleep by then.

east coast rules the time world, and that's just the way it is

I always google time differences.
