Games gonna start soon. Speak freely here. We really need to take this game. Btw, does anyone else think we should start giving Mckie and/or Shamu some minutes? They would do better defensively than Smush, and it isn't like they actively look for their own shots.
I'll be watching this game. It's a must win for the Lakers if they don't want to go down 2-0 and have more pressure on them . Kobe looked fatigued in the fourth quarter last game. Tonight he should look more for his teammates.
lakers need to pace themselves while keeping close to the suns, then have kobe take over in the fourth
I don't really like our chances tonight, but if we keep it close throughout, hopefully we'll be able to steal one. Last year, we lost game 1 and beat them in game 2 so hopefully the same will happen this year. Anyways, GO LAKERS!! I would love to see more passing and teamwork tonight <div class="quote_poster">Legacy Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I'll be watching this game.

<div class="quote_poster">Brian Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I'm rooting for the Warriors btw </div> Hells yeah, Lakers and Warriors both better win.
I'm anxious also! I expect Lamar to completely dismantle Marion in the post and someone please! please!!! please! tell kwame that he should dunk the ball instead of laying it up. If the lakers can keep the pressure and lamar and walton can score the lakers can steal this game and the suns entire season will go *poof* and we'll have homecourt advantage. Lookout for kobe in the 4rth.
Will anybody besides Kobe step up? Will Kobe give anybody a chance to step up down the stretch? If both answers are yes, they have a shot at winning.
So far so good, team wise anyway. Odom and Farmar have taken some good shots. My only beef so far is Kwame just letting Amare have his way with the post.

Are the Lakers doing well in defence? Cause I just saw the boxscore and it said that Phoenex already scored 31 in the 1st quarter.
Wow, quick sequence of events, Odom steals ball from Barbosa, Odom on the ground tries to pass to a guy to get a quick basket, Barbosa steals it back and gets a layup.
Lakers looking pathetic as usual. If we don't step up the game will be out of reach in a matter of seconds
