The earlier a lead can be built the better. Lakers do not want to give this young team confidence at home with that obnoxious crowd behind them. Furthermore, the Lakers are viewed as having a loaded line up so, this is what will be displayed and what I expect be displayed. Meaning a lot more Gasol and Bynum in particularly. Meaning I expect our horrid bench to at least have a decent night. This is where having the luxury of having such talent pays off. I expect nothing less.

Bryant played all but 3 minutes in the Cav's game. He should get no more than 32 minutes, and we shouldn't have to rely on him to get us out of anything here. These sissy queens are in a for a spanking.

The upstart Kings are the NBA's biggest surprise this year, they are playing very well and extremely difficult to beat at home. I think they are a couple years away from being the Pacific Division version of the Blazers. Before we know it the Lakers/Kings rivalry might be back real soon.

Expect to see Tyreke Evans DESTROY Fisher and Farmar.

Agreed.

We need a point guard badly.

I expect a bit more focus on the road for this game. Go Lakers!

Bynum and Gasol is going to have to figure this thing out. So far I dont think there clicking on the court. The sooner Bynum realizes he can be a defensive beast, and let pau be the offensive beast the better this team will be. Its like Ron Artest, he knows he's not going to get the ball, so he focuses on defense.

Speculation from fanball.com is that he may have gotten in a fight or injured it in some other ways but used tripping down the stairs as an excuse.

Makes sense. It makes this whole tumbling down the stairs scenario less embarrassing, yet more concerning. Or maybe less concerning?

Bottom line is no Artest in the lineup tonight only means someone on the bench is going to get the extra burn. Who that player will be I'd rather not know.

Well this game tonight will test if our boys can respond to being embarrased. It seem's to me that every time we lose this whole board starts to question how good the team really is. The stuff I've seen here and on the GB is utterly (Please Use More Appropriate Word) quite frankly.

When I see stuff like, " our early home games gave us a false sense of how good the team is"........I mean come on how stupid is that. It was one game where we didn't get in rhythm and smart basketball people here know the refs didn't let the Lakers be as aggressive as the Cavs.

I think were we pride ourselves here is that (at least on this board) we don't hardly bitch about the officiating, but yesterday was obvious on how it was going down. And that's why the crowd did what they did, they're not dumb.......we're not dumb. If anybody says that game was called even is basically basketball illiterate.

What guys aren't understanding right now is the team is still meshing, Pau missed training camp, LO started the season starting then had to move to the bench and his game took a dive. Bynum and Pau still haven't gotten enough games together yet. Pau's first 8 games were like his training camp, he's only played 17. So his body and game is like in week 6 but we're in week 10........bottom line is the team is winning despite all the ups and downs.

The bench will straighten itself out once LO decides to really take charge, clearly they're the only real weakness that's glaring right now. Truth is Mitch has until before the trade deadline to figure it out, he can't let it still be a problem at that point. And if those guys don't want to play the roles they've been dealt or the system..........ship their assess out. Phil has already identified the problem with the bench........they all want to score too much. Instead of just playing the system.

The loss stung but that could be the turning point of the season for the Lakers. They have to start playing intense against the elites and destroy the inferior team, stop going into 4th quarters with those teams in striking distance.

Tonight people take a look into the players eyes.......look to see if you can tell if they PO'd, that means no smiles, no giddy looks. Their faces should be rigid and focused. Tonight they must kill the Kings to reemphasize their dominance in this league.
