I hope Kobe's playing.. He was supposed to play last game, but I doubt he will even play, even if the media says he will.

Here is how I think it will happen Kobe and Shaq will play. And K. will play more then just 5 min.

Shaq---16pts. 7for13 and then 2for5 from the line. 13 rebs. 22min

K-man---7pts. 2for3 and then 3for3 from the line. 12 rebs. 24 min.

Dev.----14pts. 4for9>2for2 3pt/fg and then 4for5 from the line. 2 rebs 21min.

Kobe---13pts. 5for7>1for1 3pt/fg and then 2for4 from the line. 1reb. 17min.

GP---10pts. 5for6>0for1 3pt/fg and then 0for0 from the line. 11 ast. 24 min.

Leading scorer: Derek Fisher--- 21 pts. 7for13>6for8 3pt/fg and then 1for1 from the line. 3rebs.

This is my predictions

Okay, first of all, let me comment. Y'all may disagree me for saying this, but this game is gonna be DOWN to the WIRE. I mean it, no laughing matter. You may think it's just the Clips, but based on their performance compared to ours in the preseason games, it seems like they are playing more sound and skilled. I'll admit, we did get a lot of raw shots and turnovers while abusing our beloved "offense", even with our HOFs and our mastermind coach. It was just ugly to see the Cavs whoop us like that. I swear. Hope it doesn't happen again with the Clips. The Clips may have their injured returning, AKA Brand and Kaman, the undead, and begotten Glen Rice. They have a nice mix with young and old, even Polynice in the mix. It's an electric hard working team with Dunleavy as the coach in the fold. I just have to let the players know that they can't take a day off today. This is still a game, and games are games, the Clips are gonna force a loss, but if we have the right mix of talent and patience, oh yes patience, we are gonna win this game. All we need are some guys who can step it up and play some good D for once. Jannero Pargo needs to stop ballhogging and taking ill-advised shots. Eric Chenowith needs to stop looking lackadaisical on the court--on both ends. This team is talent, but talent doesn't mesh together without experience.

Do you realize this could be one of the most watched games in Leauge history?

Everybody who didn't know Kobe Bryant will now watch just to see how he will play with the sexual assult charge. Even if they wern't fans, they WILL watch it.

Plus, all the fans of the NBA will watch. The spotlight won't be on him more, but you no what, he's going to take all of his frusteration out on the court for the whole season. Expect Kobe to be extremly aggresive tommorow and more and more aggresive as the season progresses.

Ahhh good point. Then just take what I said and apply it to the Laker's season opener (which WILL be nationally televised).

Actually you guys....this game is NATIONALLY televised man13

as on TNT on Thursday nights.

Trust me, I should know...cause I have to keep tabs on these kind of things seeing how I go to school up north and I don't have KCAL like you spoiled SO-Cal people...I'm so jealous mad1

Anyways, the Lakers last two preseason games will be nationally televised.

10/23 - 7:30PM Clippers vs. Lakers on TNT...there could be a pregame show at 7:00 but I really don't know

10/24 - 4:30PM Pregame Show on ESPN followed by Rockets at San Antonio at 5:00PM and then the Queens vs. Lakers at 7:30PM

So I'm real happy and looking forward to SEEING Kobe in his first 2 games back. The Fearsome 4some will be on court together for the whole world to see man9

I can't wait!!!!!

Don't underestimate the Clippers.

Way better then the Cavs team we just got blown out by..

I think everyone is only focused on Kobe Bryant. This will be all over the news if he does bad or good. Everybody, including CNN will cover it probably the next day.

Their going to try to say, "Well he played like..." or something like that. Then analslists will try to analyze if he's guilty or not due to how he played on the court.

Like do you rememeber those idiots saying he should NOT get excited on the court. But then again, he can't play all bummed. That's stupid, Basketball is a game of expression, you can't hold emotion when you play.

I can't wait, Go Kobe Bryant!!!

I think they will bring him along slowly.....he had sholder and knee surgery. But the Lakers will dominate this year with a fired up K. Malone and GP scream

Lakers Dynasty 2000 · Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2003 1:36 pm Post subject:

Exactly, I think pound for pound, inch for inch, Payton may be the best player in the leauge. There hasn't been someone that could handle and pass the ball this well since the Showtime Lakers...

If you can argue this, please do...

With or without Kobe, we def. have what it takes, and more, to win the championship.
