[DEEP3CL]

I'm going to buy a 6 pack of "Whup A$$"....................Oh yeah Denver you about to get it.

[vinnycorleone]

Go Lakers!!

15 Minutes for Bynum?

[Slava]

Need to keep Birdman off the boards and play an efficient game. Kobe better defend Chauncey Billups this game, thats a pretty good match up. Too bad we traded away the Melo stopper.

[Sedale Threatt]

You don't realize what a solid team they have until you look at the lineup. Jones is the only zero in their top eight. Everybody else is solid to excellent.

[TommyTheCat]

go lakers!!

[laka4life]

K-Mart is questionable. He's not playing tonight with bruised ribs. Probably saving him for Lakers game.

Key like previous posters said is obviously keeping Birdman off the boards and having efficient offensive possessions.

Lastly, DO NOT LET JR GET GOING. SHUT HIM DOWN EARLY.

[laka4life]

DCash, quick note. According to Nuggets board, J R is starting.

Nah. Shady is just too lazy to change the graphics every game. Jones has been and I'm sure will be starting, especially against Kobe. Kenyon is also said to be out for our next two games, which includes this one. Petro will probably start against the Lakers for size.

THE RETURN OF BYNUM!!!!!!

RRRRRAAAWWWRRRR!!!!!

[lakersdynasty]

gonna work all day pumped about the game, I´m a music teacher and gonna let the kids play all out of tune tomorrow auhauhaua ITS ALL ABOUT BYNUM´S RETURN!!!!!!!!!!!
let the dynasty begin!!!!!

[aussie_laker]

Hopefully the return of bynum will bring energy to within the staples center, and then hopefully the team feed off that and we can get back to playing solid basketball - full of energy and showtime!

LETS GO LAKERS!!

[TylersLakers]

Damn.. how good did it feel putting Big Drew back in the starting lineup?

Predictions for Drew:

18 MIN, 8 PTS (2-5 FG, 4-6 FT), 6 REBS (2 OFF), 2 AST, 3 BLK

[butter17]

Now starting at center 7'1 two hundred eighty five pounds ANDREWWWWWWWW BYNUMMMMMMMMMMM!
Happy days are here again. GO LAKERS!

[The Skyhook]

The Beast has returned

I think he is a no go for this one.

[TylersLakers]

Damn.. this is nearing Celtic game excitement. Can't wait to see Drew back! He better play or else Phil will be Public Enemy number 1.
