Steve Blake Out Indefinitely; Barnes Questionable

Sucks to have chicken pox. Heard it's worse when as an adult. Then again, it might be shingles.

I had Chicken pox as an adult and it sucks a$s. didn't fully recover for about 2 weeks.

Time to unleash the secret line-up for the playoffs Phil's been holding back all these years.

PG: ODOM
SG: Bryant
SF: Artest
PF: Gasol
C: Bynum

the NBA 2k lineup lol....IF only it works like the video game, I hated playing against this lineup, you cant reb against this lineup.....I would like to see Phil try this and switch on D, put Kobe back on the 2, Ron on the 1 or whoever is faster Ron gets and Odom guards the 3....

I want to see this happen as well

chicken pox is **** as an adult

it can kill, and it can turn into shingles

[ctorres]

What's worse is that Kobe, Bynum, and Artest have not had the chicken pox either. Can it be that the Lakers do not win the championship this year due to the spread of chicken pox?!

[Jase]

this is so dumb...as if we already weren't shorthanded in the point guard position..now we have to watch shannon brown handle the ball

And if Barnes is out, we have to watch Luke step on the court.

That's brutal.....

I'd rather see Ebanks out there than Walton.

matt barnes is going to be ready for the playoffs.

Lakers also got good news on Matt Barnes' surgically repaired knee. An MRI showed no new damage, and Barnes should be ready for playoffs.
