Gotta keep on winning.
No Pryzibilla means one less person to hack Kobe everytime he goes to the hole.


Let's go Lakers :clap:

Lakers must win in the tough environment and hope the Jazz beat Hornets

Then Clipps should be easy so we can have some momentum going home against Hornets and Spurs.

I really believe if the Lakers win at Portland, then we will sweep the rest of the way.

This game would be a real test. I hope Luke doesn't guard Brandon Roy again.

Oh ! Again Rose Garden ?!

If Roy plays, it's gonna be tough !

Portland TB love playing against us, I suppose.

I wish we won !

the NO game is the a$$ end of a back to back so that is always a concern.

well, i don't think webster will play, i'm not even sure if he's game time decision.

the lack of a true center will mean a HUUUUUGE hole for the blazers.

could be an interesting game, could...

good luck!!!

I think if we win 2 games and the Suns lose 1 game we should lock up homecourt, the third seed.

The magic number for the division crown is 3 games. This, the Clippers, and the Kings should be the 3 games. The Hornets and Spurs games are for that top seed which I really, really want.

don't count on utah winning on the road.


this is going to be a tough 1st half as always.
