@netw3rk: Sources: Pau sustained a concussion when he passed out due to the shock of Kobe following him back on Twitter.
Not Bill Walton @NotBillWalton Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard are out indefinitely with injuries. Allegedly Mike Shanahan has urged them to suck it up and play anyway.
I hope the Lakers would play into the Rockets style. The Rockets are a deadly team and if teams take them lightly, they will get dismantle. But I hope the Rockets will play hard tomorrow, smart plays, low turnovers, good defense and run RUN RUN...
Oh man dude is just too funny. Not Bill Walton @NotBillWalton They should have never traded Luke! Never! RT @steve21smith Thoughts on the Lakers whats wrong?
I would have never guessed coming into this season and this game, that the Lakers would be where they are and potentially threatened by the Rockets squad. This team is so darn fun to watch.
this will not be easy game for rockets. THey will become overconfident and blow a lead early in the game
agreed. their only chance is foul trouble for rockets. Knowing crawford and stern I wouldnt put it past them to start making a push for LA playoffs. I just cant see stern not letting lakers in playoffs. Too big a market.

I am freaking loving the Schadenfreude 2012-2013 Tour. Couldn't happen to a nicer organization or their fans...
Dwight, Pau, and Jordan Hill are all out for the Lakers game. Asik should be able to get some offensive boards and get some easy put backs, while Harden and Lin should have no problems at all when slashing to the hoop. The key for us is to simply do what we do and outrun them. They simply cannot run with us, and Kobe will get his, but if we dictate the tempo, we should have a good chance at winning.
I'm a Laker fan and my team has been broken all year. The only guy who could run was Dwight and he's out. Pau has a concussion and is out too. Rockets will just run LA to death, Kobe will do his hero ball thing score 40 while everyone else stands around. MWP will do his Kobe imitation and run in a circle really fast and turn over the ball. 3/4 possessions Nash will just watch. Even more so because he now has no one to run the pnr with. D'Antoni will do his little angry shrug thing in the post game. At least Jamison will get some spin The NBA - the only sport where it's possible to add talent and subtract wins
