    In no order-</p>

    </p>

    Lakers vs. Rockets (10-30-07)- Kobe's first game back at Staples since the unpleasantness, also his first game back since dropping 19 pounds. It should be interesting to see if he's back at that defensive level he was a couple years ago. He'll have a chance to prove it as he'll be guarding T-Mac, it's always fun when those guys match up against each other. D-Fishs return to Staples will also be fun to watch. </p>

    </p>

    Lakers at Phoenix (11-2-07)- Need I explain myself? Lakers Suns has been a hot ticket since Luke Walton threw down Tim Thomas in the 06 playoffs. Raja and Kobe might not hate each other's guts any more, but it's still very entertaining basketball.</p>

    </p>

    Lakers at Milwakee (11-21-07)- Michael Redd dropped 45 on Kobe and the Lakers last year and Kobe wanted payback, but a timely suspension spared the Bucks the vengeful wrath of Kobe. Kobe doesn't forget easily, and I'm sure he'll be marking this one on his calendar. </p>

    </p>

    Lakers at Boston (11-23-07)- Kobe always seems to bring something special when he visits Boston. He takes the matchup with Paul Pierce very personally and it elevates his game. He's also had beef with Ray Allen for a couple years, add that into the equation and it's a game to watch. It's even more special because the Lakers might want to show Kevin Garnett that he made a mistake by choosing Boston over them.</p>

    </p>

    Lakers vs Seattle (11-27-07)- This one is just here because it's the first of many Durant-Kobe matchups. Will Durant show Kobe who's coming for his spot or will Bryant put the rookie in his place?</p>

    </p>

    Lakers at Cleveland (12-20-07)- Kobe vs. Lebron just got a little better after the world proclaimed Bron as King during the playoffs and their matchup in the Team USA game.</p>

    </p>

    Lakers at New York (12-23-07)- Bryant always performs well in MSG. He never got to play in New York last year because of the suspension and hopefully he'll be eager to make up for lost time. </p>

    </p>

    Lakers vs Denver (1-21-08)- The Kobe vs. Iverson and Kobe vs. Carmelo matchups are always fun, especially since now they have playoff implications. If Coby Karl makes the team this could also pit father against son.</p>

    </p>

    Lakers at Washington (2-3-08)- Agent 0 and Kobe brought the house down both times they played last year. They combined for 105 points in their first meeting and over 70, IIRC, in their second meeting. They're two of the most competitive guys in the league and they live for these games.</p>

    </p>

    Lakers vs Miami (2-28-08)- Shaq returns to LA for just the third time since his departure. Kobe vs. Wade. Bynum vs. Shaq. Jackson vs. Riley. I love these games. It will also be Smush's first game back in LA. I hope he gets booed out of the building. </p>
