    VERY IMPORTANT GAME!! The Rox really need this one for a couple reasons

    1. 0-3 against them so getting one at the end of the season could give them a confidence boost for the remaining (tough) games.

    2. Obviously they need to win to keep pace with the 4th to 5th spot which I honestly think they need to advance in the first round. Probable opponent will likely be Denver or Portland.

    3. Shane B and Ron Ron need to to prove that they can at least neutralize Kobe if they're going to have any chance against the Fakers in the playoffs. (Especially in the 4th quarter)

    4. It's on national tv!!! What better time for Ron Ron and the Rox to redeem themselves!! Go Rox!!! My prediction..............Rox 99-96

    From this point on please refer to Luis Scola as...........Luis "The Beast" Scola

    .............Just ignore last night's game.

    Landry is traveling with the team and was behind the bench in Phoenix. Either he asked to come, or there's a possibility we'll see him against L.A. I'm guessing it's the former, unfortunately. :(

    As for the game itself, it would be nice to win, but I don't expect to. The only way we will is if the Lakers have a bad game at Staples Center which is highly unlikely.

    It'll be a slow, defensive game. Lakers win 89-80.

    Hey, they haven't really played well at all lately. I watched them at Atlanta and they looked horrible. They didnt play any offense in CHarlotte either. They even had a lot of problems in Milwaukee.

    The only thing I am concerned about is Kobe and their size. Of course, Gasol will have an adventage on offense over Yao because he will shoot those jumpers all night long, but on the other end Yao's too big for Pau.

    Let's Hope Kobe will still be off and their size will not kill us on the boards. Should be a nice game. Go Rockets !

    Another trap game. Suns needed a win desperately and Nash took care of business. Lakers want the best record for home court advantage through out the playoffs so Kobe is looking to provide it.
    Typically we play better against great teams so I hope we can pull a W out in LA. It’ll go down to the wire on this one….I just hope Kobe misses.

    We need to take advantage of a "tired" Lakers team. Luckily the dont have a pg that puts tons of pressure on us. I really think that it will come down to 4th quarter effeciency and execution again. Hopefully they learn from last nite and come out swingin.

    at least one person on this panel says that every game we have is a trap game, what isnt a trap game? we are playing the best team in the west, i think everyone knows what we are going to get from the lakers

    if we crush them early, the refs will not play an important role in the game. I just want them to play with a lot of energy. I'm really looking foward to the artest vs kobe matchup.

    Tough game. I'm hoping for a W so we don't lose HCA, and start dropping down toward 7th place.
