Great news. I was worried he wouldn't be back for the first round.

Another sacrifice for the alter of Chris Paul.

Seriously, though, he can't do any worse than Fish did. Unleash him.

Thank God, less ball handling for Shannon.

He's looks a bit different now, guys.

YAY 18 less minutes of Fisher! What's that you say? He'll be benched in crunch time for Fisher so Paul can blow by him? Perfect.

Strategically, It would have been better if he was contagious. He could have possibly given his illness to Chris Paul.

lol imagine he comes back and he's lke the best point guard in the nba suddenly, the chicken pox got rid of something in his system holding back his true skill.

thread title is misleading. he is not contagious anymore. does not mean healthy enough to play in games. give him at least until friday or even Sunday to get back to play.

After a loooong video and practice session, Lakers finally open doors to reveal Steve Blake practicing.

Blake will play in Game 2 Wednesday, Phil J said. Trey Johnson will stay with the team (signed through rest of season).

Don't know how much of a difference he will make, just hoping he can make a significant difference for the team to win in a blowout and send Hornets a message. I can't wait till Wednesday...much to far away.

All I want him to do is play Chris tough, fight over screens, and contain him. Nothing is more important than that.

Nobody is going to contain CP3.. The best we can hope for is to slow him down a bit. I'm not even sure if Blake can do that...

We need the rest of the team to stick to their guy so that CP3 can't get double-digit assists every night.
