Hibbert has been on a good stretch recently, hopefully Dwight's feeling spry.

Hopefully Indiana is a class act organization. Go Lakers.

Hate to see Kobe injured, is there no chance he'll play? Seems like it would have to be pretty serious to keep a warrior like Kobe out when his team is fighting for a playoff berth.

Good luck tomorrow night. Pacers are a completely different team since we faced you guys in Staples early in the year, I always enjoy watching PG24 face Kobe, who is his all time favorite player. Hope you guys make the playoffs, would make an otherwise dull series more exciting.

We'd have a good shot at this match up if Gasol played. As things stand, Metta needs to have a solid game against either Paul George or David West and we hope the other guy has a bad day. George Hill will likely light us up. Nash has nowhere to hide on defense.

If Kobe doesn't play I'd put Meeks on George Hill, Nash on Stephenson

Kobe needs to sit out at least 2-3 games get some rest!

Hopefully we can get the W!

GO LAKERS!

If Gasol played in Howard's place I could see that point. Gasol can pull Hibbert and minimize his rim protection.

But at PF, Gasol is in a big disadvantage againt David West defensively.

That wouldn't really work out. Lance Stephenson is strong, quick and athletic. He has a good handle and can easily get to the rim versus a bad 1-on-1 defender.

This is crucial game. If we lose this one we will be two game behind Utah (they have tie breaker) and four or five games behind the other two. We only have sixteen games left. We got to win this one please. I hate this **** iPhone 3 it types like **** and doesn't cache my fast typing into anything sensible and I have to go back and erase everything **** you apple

I'm not even worried. Their next 4 games will be vs. MEM, vs. NYK, @ HOU and @ SAS. Ours will be @ IND, vs. SAC, @ PHX and vs. WAS. We have the 8th seed locked. We can let Kobe rest. We need a healthy Kobe in the playoffs.
