** no lineup announced, just guessing

things to watch for:

- 1st half perimeter d, get out on the shooters

- no przybilla means no one to push him out of the paint

- two straight good games? we'll see.

d cash coming though again.

Is Webster playing after his irregular heartbeat?

[dockingsched]

whoops, forgot about that. for some reason i read webster instead of jones when looking at their last boxscore.

[Tommy Trojan]

got to win

[Rox_Nix_Nox]

We must break them.

[MAMBAEMD]

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


Let's go Lakers

[shobe_81]

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.

[Slava]

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

[SashAlex]

Oh ! Again Rose Garden ?!

If Roy plays, it's gonna be tough !

Portland TB love playing against us, I suppose.

I wish we won !

[CITYOFANGELSX3]

Let's get payback for the loss we had last time in Portland!

[El Hardee]

War Kobe!!!!! WAR LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



We need big numbers from deuce foe, I want him to take the MVP.

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

[BlackMamba]

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!!!

[haschel cedricson]

Don't be too hard on Raef LaFrentz tonight. Let the poor guy enjoy his minutes.

[TommyTheCat]

go lakers!!

[hermes]

GO LAKERS

[Tommy Trojan]

Utah at N.O. tonight, wish Utah can handle their business and get that W.

[Dexmor]

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

[KB20]

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.

[dockingsched]

don't count on utah winning on the road.


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