Pound on these imposters.

[Tommy Trojan]

We should be able to take this one, they will be on a back end of the second game

[lakerz12]

Artest and Brad Miller sat out verse Denver tonight but the Kings won nonetheless.

I think we will handle them no problem.

[ShowtimeFan]

Cool, Sunday is gonna be an awesome day, I have two photo shoots with two great looking girls and then get done in time to see the Lakers spank the Queens...

[islander009]

should be a win for us unless we let Kevin martin score freely. I say let Kobe contain him in the second half let Newble play him in the first just to rough him up. Have LO crash the boards and beat up whoever is at the three unless its artest. If artest is playing switch up the idea of newble on martin and have newble on artest. But still have LO hit the glass hard. Pau will do his thing. oh yeah and KOBE will be dominate....as Always!!

[CITYOFANGELSX3]

... So next sunday is against the spurs right?

[SashAlex]

Pretty though game, as always when we play in Sacramento.

I expect at least a close win, at best a blowout by the Lakers.

[Big Bird]

Udrih is out 100% as I understand (he said he will return Tuesday). Artest said he'll maybe play against us; the status of Miller is unknown.

Considering Udrih is the one who burned us the last time, I'm pretty content with that. I think Fish can guard Johnson .

Unleash Kobe on Martin, I'm pretty sure they still remember that loss and get revenge!

GO LAKERS

[dockingsched]

yeah, of the injuries udrih being gone helps the most. artest/miller might actually help the kings since miller would let gasol walk into the paint and artest would shoot the kings out of the game. last game, the kings benched artest in favor of garcia when the kings made their late game run to steal it.

[KB20]

We can't lose any more of these cupcake games. We gotta go out and dominate from the beginning.

[The Laker Kid]

ya Lets go LAKERS

[Dexmor]

Andrew Bynum should be able to give it a go but he won't.

Good Luck Guys!

[dockingsched]

u have udrih, artest, and miller starting, is that correct?

[kno]

If Udrih is at least 50% healthy, he should have a career night tonight.



My key to Lakers' win:

Have Kobe going early offensively, make the Kings D take notice and adjust accordingly, then hand it to Odom off the doubles and have him drive to the hole all day long. He can get an easy layup, or create one for Pau.

And of course, play defense (especially on the perimeter) please.

Go Lakers!

[DoctaJ]

Please, just bring the defense intensity from the beginning. Then if need be step it from there in the second half. Don't come out flat!

Let's Go Lakers!!

[MAMBAEMD]

The Lakers have been getting off to good starts on the road buildin gup good sized leads early.
I hope they come out with intensity and build a lead.
I'd like to see some D on Martin, maybe have Newble chase him around a bit.

Let's go Lakers
