[Steez]

Knicks have won 2 in a row, we've lost 3 in a row.... this is our chance to break both streaks...

Lakers 101
Knicks 93

 

[Laker Freak]

I know Kobe is hurt but he has to have a good game against Marbury and Q.

 

[Ghiman]

Gotta end this loosing streak....i say it ends @ Staples Center.

 

[Bartholomew Hunt]

We need to take care of business this game. We'll have to suffer through about an hour of Larry Brown vs. Phil Jackson garbage.

 

[DANNY]

everytime i say lakers will win they lost

so this time i say they'll lose

 

[Bartholomew Hunt]

Oh, Kwame = Samaki Walker.

 

[DANNY]

Oh, Kwame = Samaki Walker.

maybe we were better off with corie blount

atless he can catch a basketball

 

[Laker Superstar 34]

I hope we go 5-0 on this home stand.

With that said, it's more likely that we'll probably go 2-3.

 

[LoyalBull]

If Kobe's hurt so that it is hurting his shooting, then he is hurting the team by playing hurt.

Try saying that 5 times fast.

That said, New York is awful.

Almost as awful as Lamar averaging less than 10 a game.

 

[King Sancho Fantastic]

This should be blowout for the Lakers, but then again, we are the Lakers and for some reason I seem to think that we play better against really good teams and slack off against the mediocre ones. Cmon Guys!! Lets step it up!! :banana: :clap:

 

[musiclexer]

put Malik Rose picture as a key reserve not Lee hes our 11th man.

 

[Brian34Cook]

put Malik Rose picture as a key reserve not Lee hes our 11th man.

Yes dear.. although Lee is having a better year.. I believe!

 

[Pnack]

this should be a win and bring us back up to .500

 

[PauloCatarino]

IF the Lakers lose at home against the freaking Knicks, i will be prepared to call this season a wash...

I need a solid, confident win... 10 points at least.

:gopray:

 

[Shaolin]

Oh, Kwame = Samaki Walker.

C'mon, don't exaggerate. It ain't that bad.

 

[Brian34Cook]

Your right, he's worse

 

[Shaolin]

Your right, he's worse

You guys are cold. No....its simply not possible for Kwame to be as useless as Samaki. I won't condemn the boy THAT bad until the season is over.

Off topic, but.. on the post game show last night, Worthy said its time to get nasty, that somebody has to "hit the floor". I'm inclined to agree.

 

[Unique]

I know Kobe is hurt but he has to have a good game against Marbury and Q.

Hurt? What happend?

 

[SoCalfan21]

lakers lose
