Well, I predict we won't get 20 turnovers like the Suns game.

It's gonna be great to see LeBron and Kobe go at it (if Kobe plays hopefully).

that game is televised by the way

yeah i know i think kobe will play cause tommorow will prolly be the last day for kobe to be in the court intel a trial date is set or the case gets gun down!

I believe ESPN is covering this game.

Hopefully Shaq n' Kobe will return.

hopefully the case will be dropped...and then kobe will be encouraged and kill the Cavs :jam2:

...lebron and kobe is guna be a good matchup bcuz kobe isnt 100%...its kobe was 100%...kobe wud run all over LJ

If Kobe and Shaq play then its over the lakers by far by i have a feeling that both Kobe and Shaq wont play so i think its going to be just like the suns game. all is ask is that the lakers DON'T let lebron have a break out game like they let Yao have last season when he got his first 20+pt game

by **GaNgStA** on Tue Oct 14, 2003 11:11 pm

jozpz kobe will play but i dont know about shaq !

jozps2 · by **jozps2** on Tue Oct 14, 2003 11:28 pm

Well i would rather see kobe play instead of shaq cause kobe is the one that has something to prove...plus kobe is going to dunk in lebron's face

FabFourLakers · by **FabFourLakers** on Tue Oct 14, 2003 11:30 pm

Ok finally i think the lakers will win this game...they dont lose 3 in a row often not even in preseason...if kobe and shaq play they will win...but everyone keeps sayin it'll be a blow out...they will win by 6 or 8 pts

jozps2 · by **jozps2** on Tue Oct 14, 2003 11:35 pm

Its being televised on TNT i think so everyone outside of So. Cali is going to see the Lakers for the first time.....i hope they're not ignorant and start saying that the lakers don't have the "chemistry" just because its not a blow out since phil is going to play all the rookies

I think it'll be nationally televised. Man, I really hope both Kobe and Shaq play. Their presence is a big enough impact alone. I wanna see how both Payton and Kobe run the court on a fast break... Dayam, reminds me of the all star games... If Shaq and Kobe return, I believe we'll win this game.

I know its just preseason but the Lakers better start winning games. We have to show the NBA who the real Lakers are

BDG · by **BDG** on Wed Oct 15, 2003 10:52 pm

I don't think it's meaningful at all to be winning preseason games. I'd rather our veterans and role players get some rest before opening night and conserve their energy.

Now come October 28th.... that's a whole different story. We have to set the tone EARLY.

Andrew Evenstar · by **Andrew Evenstar** on Thu Oct 16, 2003 8:57 am

Yo, we need kobe to play and for him to show us that he's still strong and ready to go. Shaq should be playing too, but i'm not complaining cause this year he's ready. We need both Kobe and Shaq healthy, and there's NO F'ING REASON why we should take chances in preseason!

no cable, no lakers :man6:

, only radio :mad1:

smilez · by **smilez** on Thu Oct 16, 2003 1:42 pm

So are Kobe and or SHaq playing. I can hardly wait. :man13:

Sadly probably not. Shaq's definitely out... Kobe's questionable but unlikely to play.

by **GaNgStA** on Thu Oct 16, 2003 2:09 pm

LD2K you could jus put we ganna lose by 15 points i aint even ganna watch this game!

by **GaNgStA** on Thu Oct 16, 2003 2:19 pm

i cant belive lebron is ganna make us embarrsed today no damn kobe no damn shaq worthless

BDG · by **BDG** on Thu Oct 16, 2003 2:25 pm

Lebron's not gonna embarass us, and even if that is what happens it doesn't matter cuz it's preaseason

loopytickler · by **loopytickler** on Thu Oct 16, 2003 2:55 pm

Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to see Shaq and Kobe on the court. But thats just not gonna happen tonight. I'm still greatly anticipating seeing Malone and Payton for the first time. Malone has said even though it's the preseaon he would like to see the Lakers get on a winning streak. Hopefully this attitude will carry over to the other Lakers. I look for them
to win by 5 tonight :mhihi:

Well... the other night we lost a bid for 2 tickets by $1.50.

Now I just got off the phone with my dad and he's sitting dead center court, middle section, 1st level - row E.

Lucky S.O.B. :disagree:

Oh well, can't wait for the game tonight fellas. This will be the 1st time I will sit down and actually "watch" LeBron play in the pros. Can't wait to see Gary gaurd him :man9:
