So who here thinks we are going to win? I'm calling a loss by 10 points. Kobe played 55 minutes in the Minnesota game and nobody else on our team would get consistent minutes in a playoff teams rotation.
I'm not expecting much, but I really hope we can win. We really need one right now just to get back on the right track. If we can't start winning here soon, I wouldn't doubt for us to drop to the 7th or 8th.
<div class="quote_poster">Schaddy Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I can't imagine we'd sweep you guys, LOL. Depends on whether the Bucks decide to defend or not.</div> Portland Seattle Milwaukee New Orleans (twice) Memphis Charlotte (twice) Knicks (twice) Indy Toronto Sacramento All of those games we should have won. I really don't think Milwaukee will have a problem sweeping us.
i bet phil doesnt play kobe much at all, as punishment for the others mistakes, and to embarress them, and to see if they can actually play at all without kobe in there
My vote goes to Smush Parker (please oh please, I'm sick of defending him, he makes me look like an ass).

Without Kobe, this team won't win. Maybe if we still had Odom, but at the moment, Kobe is the only consistent player on this team and we need him a whole lot right now with all of our injuries. He's not going to punish the team and embarass them. A good coach doesn't do that.
Here's are remaining roster for tonight: PG - Smush/Shamu/Farmar/Sasha SG - Evans/McKie SF - Kobe PF - Cook C - Bynum/Kwame If Kobe is suspended the roster size drops to 9, and leaves us even smaller. The Lakers cannot afford Bynum or Kwame getting into early foul trouble tonight. I remember complaining about the roster at the start of the season. I felt the team had far too, many guards and not enough size or depth at the forward position. It's come back to really haunt us.
PG - Smush/Shammond/Farmar SG - Mo Evans/Aaron McKie SF - Sasha PF - Brian Cook C - Andrew Bynum/Kwame Probably the worst Laker lineup ever.
