lol

I can't believe you made a preview for a preseason game. Haha.

Good work though. I seriously cannot wait for this. Even though it's just preseason, I'm pumped. Can't wait to see the Lakers back in action, and I CANNOT wait to see Bynum. Holy shit it's gonna be fucking epic.

Win or lose, I don't care. I just want some Laker basketball!!!

Btw, starting lineup looks so sexy

 

Props to Warpoet for supplying the template..basically we'll be using this template ALL YEAR. Great right? So who else will be watching it on TV tonight?

I'll be at my girlfriends house in Westminster. Make your shoutouts!

This game is being broadcasted on NBA TV, as well.

 

Yes! Finally some NBA. Are you the Nets' games in Paris being broadcasted GMJ?

 

The game is almost on. Right now Lamar is talking about how he is overlooked and how he won't like being benched cause he started his whole career.

I don't think he is overlooked, he just has his faults that stand out more than his accomplishments, mainly cause of the stage that he does make those mistakes.

Big Game James says that Lamar should treat being a sixth man as a honor and should just play his best cause it's a contract year.

 

Game is starting!!!!!

Boozer won't be playing...

I wanna watch Sun Yue play.

 

Is Yue gonna play?

And OMG it's back...

I can't believe it.

 

I will be posting during commercials so..yeah..

GO LA!

 

I hope he does. Us Chinese people don't get much to hope for lol

It's so soon...it's our time!

 

When do I tell DW that I just made up those stats, and that he's actually supposed to put stuff in the key matchup section... Hmmm...

 

I adjusted all the stats...looked them all up myself.

Lakers look sloppy right now.

 

Gary Vitti sees his first action!

Pau is on fire.

Trevor playing great D rotating and helping.

 

I probably should have noticed that when the team leader didn't have 22 rebounds.

 

Bynum is in!!!!!

Makes his first shot a jumper from the free throw line...

Damn I was hoping he'd throw that one down.

 

Jerk! lol

 

Bynum has been making jumpers left and right, really nice patience and post moves.

Space Cadet not looking for that easy pass to layup, then blocked Kobe on his defensive assignment

 

Bynum's doing alright, but you can tell that his timing is a bit off. Hopefully we'll give him more run in the preseason so he can knock off the rust. Also, nice pass by D-Fish. lol
