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

Big game, hopefully it won't be painful. Plus I wanna see Jason Terry lose.

I am going to the game! I cant wait! I have been saving up so much for this game. I will be center court 2 rows up. Obviously the ticket wasnt as expensive as it could have been if it was in la, but still it was very expensive. And now i am even more excited, because you know kobe and lakeshow will come out strong after that loss. I have a feeling kobe will drop atleast 30. doesnt he always against mavs? lol. Cant wait to talk Smack to those mav fans.

Huge game....really hope we give a Spurs game type of effort and pick up this win.

3-1 road trip is so much better than 2-2

Heat hangover or back to business? I think we win by 11.

lets do this. we need this win.

We're playing a good team on a Saturday? I can't even remember the last time that happened.

We really need this win. So close to Dallas in the standings and if we want to continue our hot streak we have to keep beating good teams (i don't really consider the loss to the Heat as an end to it, we should have lost that game given the state Miami was in).

Kill Kill Kill

I will be there too. I will be about 9 rows up behind the Lakers bench. The company I work with as a traveling consultant has season tickets to Mavs, Lakers and Bulls (their corporate locations)...and I get them sometimes when I'm in town. I've been in Dallas for a few days and nobody else wanted the tickets so I took them off of their hands....

Kobe will have a chip on his shoulder, so I expect him to lead us to a victory, and I'm not just talking about how he plays (that's a given). When we blew out the Spurs, look at how much he talked to his teammates, telling them what to do. That's real leadership, and I want to see more of that tonight. We have to be motivated, or the Mavs will take it to us in their house. Let's go, Lakers!

Win.

I expect a triple double from Kobe, and for Gasol to play well today. Win by 12

Mavs treating this like a game 7. Will be tough.

Kobe needs to play facilitator early. Gasol needs to post Dirk over and over to take his legs for later.

Drew needs to battle hard for low post cause Chandler will try to push him out.

LO and Blake need to step up.

I don't like the Lakers' execution to close games lately. Let's hope they turn the corner here.

Go for the kill and go for the kill early....no let up.

I think we'll see it from Kobe for sure, the mystery is where the rest of the team is.

will Brewer and Boobwah slow Kobe down?

Will Gasol let Dirk and Marion blow by him over and over again?

You really can't tell if the sense of urgency will be there, I would like to think the that team will be highly focused.

Saw the game away from home on Thurs nite and did not post. After the game I was so p.o.'d I couldn't hardly stand it. On the way home decided to post to Club Lakers and give everyone a piece of my mind. Well, apparently I wasn't the only one. The servers must have crashed because I couldn't get a connection all night! How funny... if they play like that again they don't deserve anything... the Heat are due to crash and burn but we gave them a boost... the same with Dallas in L.A. when they broke a multi game losing streak... they just didn't concentrate... Tonight the pressure is on Dallas to win the tiebreaker... advantage Lakers!

Yes, beating good teams and losing to crappy ones!

We will win. We should have won against Miami. I think we are seeing the Championship form Lakers since the All Star Break.

Lakers never play on Saturdays or Mondays....this week is the exception. Magic on Monday at Staples.

Doc Buss is at the game. Yeah, I think the team is going to show up tonight.
