Kendrick Perkins has sprained MCL and PCL ligaments, and source close to him says "looks like he's out," for Game 7. MRI on Wednesday.

^Cool. More Pauer to Gasol.

Gotta stay aggressive. There might not be many of those ticky tacky fouls that we got in game 6 so I predict this to be a close game but if we play with the right mindset we are the superior team. Getting a good start and pulling away in the 3rd is important.

I got the feeling the Lakers were using alot more Energy than Boston and the Old 3 were saving it for game 7. It might not have been planned that way but after only ONE day between game 5 and 6 the C's knew after all the energy they put in game 5 they would not have enough in the tank for game 6 and would use it for game 7.

Expect a hungry C's team in Game 7. More like the transition from Game 1 to 2.

Again I like the fact that Sasha hit 4 shots while spacing the floor even though he aired one.
If he can space the floor on small minutes and hit 8 to 12 points this will help as the C's will not
be able to lock in on Kobe so much.

Everyone needs to step it up and like John Barry said let the Stars be Stars and the Jordan Farmar's and Shannon Browns not take wild shots. They did do good but in a tight game they have to make good decisions.

Ron Ron and Odom needs to make good decisions too.

i think we saved alot of energy to...we coasted the entire fourth quarter...i know boston will come out fighting but to lose like they did yesterday has to hurt..if we play tough and hard build a big lead and take it into the half...if they don't make a game of it by mid third quarter i think reality will start to set in...

here's to a great game 7 with the lakers repeating as champions...go lakers
Only on realgm is 27,000 points, 5 rings, 1 rs mvp and 2 finals mvp considered overrated!

Let's not kid ourselves guys. We got lucky in certain stretches such as the beginning of the 3rd when we were doing stupids things turnovers but the C's couldn't convert. Let's get rid of the luck and see this thing through and through.

At their best, the Lakers are better than the Celtics-- they've proven that much this series.

But the more talented team doesn't always win---here's to one, well-officiated, hard-fought game 7.

Just win and get us some sweet revenge for that 2008 drubbing.

Kobe and Pau need to play exactly like they did in game 6, and more importantly, they'll need some support. Artest and Odom finally showed up and played extremely well all around, and it'll take repeat performances to pull out another victory.

Stay focused and play hard, and we'll be celebrating #16 in about 36 hours.

Farmar and Vujacic played exceptionally well. We'll need more of that gravy.

props to every diving playmaker and cold blooded shooter last night. The Machine was back(except on that one god awful miss) and Jordan was money.

I also think that the early work by Drew really set us up to succeed. He did the dirty work in the first that had to be done- blocking shots, getting rebounds, clogging the lane, and setting screens. I hope he can do more of that to set the tone for game 7.

Pau clearly played alot better without Perkins on him and I expect that to continue against Spot Wallace.

Need to get the bigs involved early , Bynum and Gasol. Artest needs to continue to drive to the hole put pressure on the Celtics defense. The game will be won in the trenches
