Don't forget to read through the CL Guidelines concerning personal attacks and swearing.

luckily its showing here in Australia but not sure if i should watch it to be honest.... i've watched 2 games this post season so far n both have been losses not too confident....

So excited!

Lakers won their token game (game 2).

This is Houston's token game (game 3)... If there is one game in a series that Houston would win its game 3. This is the one I want the Lakers to take. This will prove to me that they are better than Houston. LA can still win the series by splitting in Houston, but its game 3 that I want.

Houston does NOT have a dominant home court, but a team returning home after a split usually has a strong advantage in game 3. Their crowd will be going and they are coming off a loss. This is where LA outplays them. Even without Fisher the Lakers will step up their game.

Win and I'll be happy. Lose and this team will have disappointed yet again.

Lakers win...

We need to score more in the interior tonight. Pau and Bynum need to have big games.

Lakers for the WIN!

101-89 LakeShow

Pretty much nailed it. Look at what's happening to Boston. Orlando is pumped up after losing Game 2 and eating the Celtics up.

Winner of Game 3 wins the series 75% of the time. We CANNOT lose this game. This is much more important than Game 4 even though the result will be the same if we split. Taking the advantage now puts the pressure on the Rockets instead of on us to tie the series up in Game 4.

Bynum needs to man the hell up tonight

We WILL lose this game. I sure as hell hope I'm wrong. If I'm right, I won't be as hurt. Houston was very tough in our home. Imagine in their own home, I don't think we have a chance. I sure hope I'm very wrong.

espn is really making me angry, why would they only put the start on ESPN mobile and 360?

Lakers by 15.

Gametime !

Can they end the Celtics and Magic game already?
All they are doing is calling timeouts and fouling. Who gives a flying [Swearing is not permitted at Clublakers. You must edit this post prior to submitting.] about these two teams Lets go LAKERS!!!!

Who's starting at the 1?

Do we have to wait until Orlando finish their game ?

Farmar is starting
