    I think this is the biggest game of the nba season so far. The Lakers are exactly 1 game behind the Suns in the pacific division. If the Lakers win this game they'll be tied with the Suns but will have the tie breaker. Besides it's Kobe vs. Shaq.

    What are you predictions for this game. Mine is Lakers win by 4.

    Suns win it 117 to 115 in OT.

    Suns by 10+. Shaq is going to dominate...for one more time in his first game debut for the Suns. A big stiff forearm to Gasol and Gasol will change back into a shy girl. Enuff said. :cool:

    Its too bad Lakers are going to make this game boring with a blowout.

    I think Steve Nash will go off in this one. He will have 25+ points and 15+ assists.

    Lakers have a big head start meshing Gasol into their game. Suns are making a MUCH tougher adjustment since adding Shaq and subtracting Marion alters a lot of what they do. Plus, Shaq still isn't 100%.

    Lakers in a rout. But I'll be watching.

    We could have some epic playoff series this spring.

    Either way, the Rockets pick up half a game on one of them. :D

    wow, great start to the game. Both teams are looking sharp. The atmosphere in the arena is for sure more than just a regular season game.

    whom do you want to win? Suns or Lakers? It's hard for me to root for either one of them? Is it possible that they both lose in this game? :p

    and he's taking up so much space on the bench, other players are squeezing their legs like a group of women

    Shaq looks pretty spry out there. This may end up being a match made in Heaven between him and this Suns team.

    Man I wish Tmac would drive to the basket like that.

    Great game so far. Shaq looking rusty, but fun game.

    SICK SICK SICK dunk by Kobe to end the quarter. I wish Tracy would do more of that.
