    You shouldn't. Matter of fact, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the Rockets lose. I expect them to win, but let's say Kobe, Boozer and Lin or johnson go off on us, and we just have a bad shooting night. It's only 1 game out of 82. It literally means nothing. It doesn't mean LA is better than us, Kobe is back, Lin got the best of us, or anything like that. It's a L in the Loss column, that's it.

    Us winning isn't going to prove any more of a point to haters, anyway- they're still going to agree with Byron Scott, still say we're not playoff material, etc. We could win today by 40 and it won't count for more than 1 win in the Win column. So, although I'll enjoy watching the game, I've got 1 of 82 written in big bold letters by my computer to remind me that that's all it is.

    One of the sidelights to tonight's game with be Jordan Hill v. Dwight. First off, Hill played for Houston. Second, Hill played a whole year of practices against Dwight and so they know each other's game.

    The only backup the Lakers have for the 3,2,1 positions (starters are: Wes Johnson, Kobe, Lin) is second-round pick Jordan Clarkson. Everyone else is injured. Lin and Kobe will play 40-plus minutes tonight.

    Yup, our opening day loss to the Steve Blake-led Lakers' was right up there on our low-lights from last year.

    That's a 49 win attitude.

    If Harden doesn't outscore Kobe, I will watch a 76ers game

    As long as Steve *ucking Blake isn't on the Lakers, we'll be fine!

    Hhahahah that's pretty funny. I can't read the small words though, what does it say under Robert Sacre?

    Highlights.

    Wesley Johnson playing the position of Wesley Johnson.

    Jeremy Lin as lightning rod of unhealthy dialog & Sacre as cheerleader.

    Looking forward to see how McHale handles the rotation. We really need somebody to step up from the bench this season. Looking at you Papa, Canaan, and DMo.
