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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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
