    I think their lineup is gonna be

    Nash/Meeks/Kobe/MWP/Jamison

    with duhon, ebanks, and earl clark from the bench. (maybe sacre if their bigs get into foul trouble)

    If parsons is out we should start Morris at sf and ppat at pf. interesting match up for asik since jamison is mostly a perimeter player. I'm expecting MWP to do a lot of post ups now that he has a chance and they might actually utilize nash more in the pick and roll now that hes surrounded by more shooters. of course kobe is gonna get his.

    They'll start Sacre at C because they'll need size upfront against Asik.Jamison will start at the 4 or even Metta.

    This is like the definition of a trap game. They are coming in with a losing streak. We're coming in with a winning streak. They are missing some of their key players. Their back's are against the wall. We are favored. I mean, we did well in games that we're supposed to win so far..

    I still think we should and will win, but .... a strange vibe, that's all. And we've been kinda shaky the last few games tbh.

    Back up 3??? Where's T-Mac???

    T-Mac is lighting it up in the CBA. It's too bad he couldn't sign an NBA contract: the Rockets could certainly use a back-up 2/3.

    Check out T-Mac in the Chinese league:

    New poster here but been following for quite a while. The dysfunction on the Lakers has reached new heights as everyone can see. Combined with the raft of critical injuries, and the fan base is pretty down.

    Here is a prediction from the SB Lakers page:

    http://www.silverscreenandroll.com/...the-lakers-overcome-several-critical-injuries
    IF the injuries are what they're presented as--one week absences--the Lakers shouldn't lose that much in all honesty. Yes, they'll probably get blown out by Houston, San Antonio and Oklahoma City, but could the team have been expected to win two out of three even with this fully healthy squad playing like a group of drunk D'Antoni brothers in a Thanksgiving pick-up game? Probably not.

    If we lose this one, we will move down to 7th ... arrrrghhh
    In another place, "Brazzers" will guarantee get a win over Magic.

    I hate this "Brazzers" so much and even though I hate to admit but they're very hot right now (Dec 9-4 and Jan already 5-1). Teams with worst bench ever can get this far, unbelievable.

    Posted this in the game thread, but doubt he's actually 'sick'. This is another way to say 'hung over'. His buddy DMo from FL just flew in town the other day. I've hung out with this guy in Gainesville and he parties hard. If you look at twitter, they watched the BCS game tonight at Del Frisco's, so I'm pretty sure Chandler will be fine by tipoff tomorrow (unless, of course, they tie one on again tonight lol).

    i think Dight being gone is going to help them focus more as the distraction is gone.

    They're Laker fans living in Houston. Watch at the game--half the crowd will have Kobe jerseys on.

    You're saying Chandler Parsons is skipping practices with hangover symptoms? That's kind of uncool if true.

    Opinion of Chandler Parsons decreasing...decreasing...decreasing...
