    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SALT LAKE CITY - Karl Malone beat back sentiment and swallowed his competitive zeal for another day, joined Kobe Bryant on the bench, in street clothes, confident his time will come soon enough.

    There is a strong chance Malone will play by the end of the week, and some hope among the Lakers that Bryant will join him, as improbable as that sounds. Asked if he would be surprised to see both play during this four-game trip, coach Phil Jackson said, "No," adding, "I anticipate both of them trying to find a way to play."</div>

    I hope he is back for the Timberwolves game...we will need him in that one...with Shaq, Malone, and Payton I believe that we will have a chance to beat them, and Kobe said he feels like he will only miss a couple of games, I have a feeling he will try and play the T wolves game, I dont want him too, I think he is rushing back.

    I want both to be back against the T-wolves because they will be tough and we have yet to meet them at full strength. I predict that Malone comes back in a week and Kobe comes back a little while after that..I would rather see them come back 100% healthy.

    Well it's confirmed that he's coming back against the Wolves. Finally get to see them at full strength. BTW the MDE has the best Sig I've seen.
