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

win win win win

I think we can win, depending on how many suspensions we have, but we need to keep this streak rolling, try and catch the Spurs.

I have a feeling we'll step up our game because of the suspensions and win.

Bad boy Barnes is in the dog house tonight. That means... yes... Luke the Fluke will be in prime time action...

After last night's emotional game...the crew might be settling back down to earth a bit plus I am sure they are aware that Utah is shorthanded. This might be closer than we think.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's close, but as long as we win and stay healthy, I'll be happy.

Milsap at the 3? Interesting. That forces Kobe to stay on the guards and run around, which is tough to do after traveling and on a back to back. Also, Artest will struggle with Milsap. May see LO play some 3 tonight.

Time for the Lakers to push past the streak -- they have had 8 game streaks snapped this year, once by the Jazz, right? (the other by the Heat).

Lakers need to play with energy. The ONLY WAY the Jazz could win this is if they shoot some crazy % from 3. so that is on Kobe, Fish, Shannon, Blake, PUKE and Ron to STAY HOME!!!!!!!!!

Kobe is dropping 40. Bynum 20-10. We win by 12.

On the pregame show Kevin Navalta hit all 3 shots in the Toyota Buzzer-Beater Challenge, so he won all 3 prizes (video game, autographed Worthy basketball, and TV), and he'll be entered in a drawing to win $10,000! He wants us to sign him to a 10-day contract.

I'm all for if it means no Luke.

He shoots better than Luke, that's for sure. Welcome to CL.

^Glad to be here.

I hope this means Lakers no longer have the problem of 'trap' games... this smells like one but since they are in playoff mode that should be insurance

Everything points to an easy win......that's what worries me..

Bynum isn't looking very active so far. he's reaching instead of jumping for rebounds.

Mark Jackson just said that he didn't like Barnes pushing Terry but he DID agree with Barnes pushing the Mavs coach. He said "I'm not you're player, get off me."

that doesn't look like the jazz offense to me looks like hot garbage

Not a lot of effort out there on Defense and no rebounding.

Okay, Fesenko made a jump shot, I think this game is over. Sucks.

I hate Jazz fans more than anything....

They either gotta call a foul on the Jazz or traveling on Bynum. All kinds of crap going on when he gets the ball in the post.

It looks like the fatigue of a back to back is showing. They mentioned they got in at 3:30 this morning.

108 all in Houston with 3.9 left. SA ball

Not happy with our play so far, but it's early. Keep it close, and make a run late to get the lead and keep it.
