    One thing I do know is that these 2 teams don't like each other. The Lakers started slow, but Bynum has been killing it since he's been in the lineup. Kobe is going to want to make a statement. I think the Lakers are going to be ready to play tomorrow so we're going to need our "A" game.

    I have a feeling that Bynum and Artest will be coming after Aldridge and Wallace.

    I could see this getting really ugly. Bynum laying wood on Camby, and Artest--or whoever they put in as the current hit-man--taking out Felton if he penetrates too much. I'm guessing at least one fight and ejection.

    This has the 2000 season come full circle. Both teams are now top tier in the league and have something to prove. I think the rivalry is starting up again. Maybe this time, the Blazers will come out on top.

    I think it's more like 89-91. The Lakers were at the top of the heap and we were ready to take over.

    If the players aren't hyped, the crowd will get them there.

    I'm home for the first time in forever for a Laker game in PDX. Are tix always this expensive?

    The RG was already going to be loud, but after last night's win you can bet the place will be rocking.

    It's probably gonna be Kevin Harlan calling the game on TNT (awesome in HD, btw). Maybe I should save my $.

    I don't the players are nearly as into the rivalry as the fans are. The days of teams hating each other have long past. They are all part of their own little fraternity now, separated from the rank-and-file NBA fan by income and lifestyle. Yes, they can get caught up in the energy of the crowd, but it has little to do with the players wearing Portland laundry hating players wearing Los Angeles laundry.

    Kobe has said that he absolutely hates losing to Portland.

    Kobe is an exception in that all the other players hate him, so I don't think his opinion really counts.

    Yeah I was about to say the same thing. I went with Sly Poker Dog about 3 years ago and the Rose Garden was totally intense. I even had Ronny Turiaff look me straight in the eyes and tell me to "Fuck Off"

    Gotta go sometime this season. You'd be amazed on the energy in the building. Fuck it's so addicting, that I actually planned a vacation to Portland, just to watch a couple games.

    You must of done something messed up. Turiaf is one of the nicest, most genuine guys in the league.

    I did. Well the whole damn team. It was nice to be able to taunt the Lakers and have a crowd back you.
