	Is anyone excited about the fact that the Lakers had to go to OT for them to win against the Thunder. Not putting them down but that really helps our chances even more against them tonight, since we have fresh legs and they're on a back to back on the road and against our running O. As if our chances weren't already good enough. We're gonna murder em!

	I do like the matchup of Hayes over Bynum down low. Bynum will wilt like a flower when someone matches up with him physically. Also, don't y'all hate ever year when Bynum puts up big numbers at the beginning of the season and then slumps the rest of the season. He's lucky the media is talking about him positively because when Gasol comes back, he becomes the primary low-post option, not Bynum.

	Can't miss games and give someone else a chance...I think he plays.

Young players develop, the team gets a higher draft pick, insurance pays his salary, and Tmac's value get driven though the basement.

I hate how the Fakers are proped on a pedestal period. I think Bynum's numbers lowering from the beginning to the end of the season is more due to the fact that he hasn't had a full season without being injured by or before the end of the year.

It's hard, as we can all relate to, for a player to come back from surgery/injury and get back to form before the injury occured. Either way they suck and they're goin down! :D

	He'll play, if he doesn't then I doubt this will be something to cause concern of him missing multiple games. He's more than likely hurt not injured.

	If Chase doesn't play I hope JT is ready and has a break out game cause he hasn't shown much but I'm rooting for him.

	We are going to need some outside shooting from the bench and I really dont trust anyone else other than him, Anderson and Lowry are going to have to knock down some threes.

	No!!! We need Baby Bird in there to provide a spark. __________________ The reality is this Houston team is not the Houston team that we beat a few years ago. Their style is change for the better, now instead of relying on ball-hog McGrady, or slow Yao to carry the team, this Rocket's team plays as a team. They realize that the NBA is a game that requires players who can shoot from outside, are athletic and play hard. The Jazz lack these abilities with their roster. -km324ever(poster from Jazz fan site after Jazz loss to Rockets on 11/02/09).

	Were going to get owned in this one.. Look I want the Rockets to have a blow out and give the Lakers a heavy loss.. BUT we are so much shorter and less athletic than the damn Thunders (what a name). Oklahomas big did a good job because of there length and athleticism. Are guys have more heart and hustle but will owned just by the length of the Lakers front court. I Really really hope I'm wrong. We are lucky though that Pau Gasol is out but at the same time our spark off the bench Chase Bundinger seems to be out too.. __________________ Video Hakeem Olajuwon- The Dream Rick Adleman on Deke "I talked to him for 10 mins on the phone and didnt know what hes talking about."

Quick FYI: Kobe Bryant plays for LA and never seen him have stamina issues. He's still capable of dumping 40+ on da midgets.
