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

My cable guide says this game is on KCAL as well as ESPN, not sure if that's true as I thought we'd played our last game on KCAL, but I'm posting it in case it is.

KEEL THEM!!!

I'm like 99% sure this will be a loss but never know, they might surprise us.

Yes, Weezy, all the first-round road games will be shown on KCAL.

The Lakers have usually not played well on the road this season, so I fully expect them to lose this game. Normally, I would not like that, but if the Lakers beat the Nuggets in four or five games, they'll have to face the Thunder (assuming they beat the Mavs) without MWP for one or two games, so I would not mind a loss this time, even if it means less rest for the next round.

man i can t believe you guys . are you for the lakers or against them ? it sounds to me you are more against them as for them. why would you all expect a loss. that s not a lakers fan should act. trust your team . i say it will be a close game and the outcome is open because denver is very good at home. one more thing it seems to be some guys out here are waiting for a bad performance from kobe so they can attack him.should a lakers fan predict a bad game from kobe which some guys did. i don t think so . for me and i am sorry to say that sounds not like really big lakers fans only to see coming bad things in upcoming games.

There's a difference between being a rational fan and a homer.

Game 3 is definitely a possible when for us consider the way we've been playing and the momentum we'll have going into the game, however it won't be easy.

well you so called expert i didn t say that we cant loose that game even i didn t say that we will definetely win that game but i said we should have some trust in those guys and root for them top win insraed of saying oh i think we will loose. so don t call me a homer man because i really know how hard it will be for lakers to get the win in denver. no need to attack me mr expert.

We are 1-6 in game 3's in the Pau Gasol Era.....

I never called you a homer and I never claimed myself to be an expert. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I respect yours and agree that it will be difficult to get the win in the Denver considering the obstacles the Lakers will have to get through. All I'm saying is how most people here don't turn a blind eye towards the negatives of this team like some other irrational Laker fans, we actually analyze the situation and base our prediction based on those considerations.

We're both cheering for the same team, let's just hope we're able to get the W.

i respect your opinion. i know that the lakers have to bring their a game if they want to win game 3 in denver. if they play like they did in game 2 espicially in the 4th quarter we will loose that game because denver is way much better at home with their fans on their backs then away . they will definetely give the lakers a very hard fought game and will play with much more confidence, so like i said lakers must play like they played defense in the 2nd half of game 1.

Let's step on their throats.

We're probably going to lose 1 in Denver. Which one?

smart man. you definitely don't want to be reading a post made by Joel Myer's scrotal sac but hey I guess people don't mind since I haven't been banned LOL

Who's lame idea is it to have the Lakers fly into Mile High City the night before the game? No one cares about jet lag and adjusting to thin O2 weather??

I was thinking the same way when I just heard that Lakers will fly out after their practice today. Why not fly out first and then practice over there so they can adjust to the altitude. SMH.

With Dallas probably getting swept, it just became even more crucial for us to go for the sweep. You don't want to face a rested OKC team without us being rested as well.
