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

Must. Win. This. Game.

Big, big game.

I'll be there once again. Should be great. Hopefully this national attention drives Andrew to show how important he is against a team like Boston.

Side note: it will be cool to see Ray Allen break Miller's record. There's a great chance that happens, and an even better chance no one breaks that record for a long, long time.

I'll post a full recap when I get home Friday. Go Lakers!

Lakers by 19.

Can't wait I've got jitters already.

I truly see the Lakers winning this game.

Winning by 20.


Alright, alright, that's a bit much. But I can really see us winning this game if our guys finally decide to show up and play hard. Bynum should try to dominate Perkins this time.

Lakers win 113 - 98

Kobe 33pts 12/21 - 7/7 FT's - 8rbs - 6asts

I predict a great game from bynum. 20 and 10. Lakers by 4.
If we don't win this game, expect a trade.

This game is gonna be nasty. I expect a good one like the past two years the Lakeshow went up there, punch them in the mouth first

I don't post here much, but god damn, we need this game. Lets do this. Lakers need a huge performance from Artest on the Defensive side and Gasol on the Offensive side.

I really think the Lakers step it up...especially Pau.

Lakers by 8

hmmm...everybody is expecting a blow out for the Lakers?

I say we will lose...101-93

To me, this is the biggest game of the regular season. A win at Boston?

Being optimistic I'd say 95-91, but my gut feeling says Boston 99-88.

I am missing the game because I am out of town damnitt.

But my prediction close game to the end. Ron Artest game winner

I'll go with Lakers by 12.

I think the team will rise to the occasion yes. I don't think this Lakers squad is finished by any means. With all of the trade talk and negative energy following their big losses to top 5 teams this season I think they really do have something to prove and will prove it tonight.

I really just don't see them losing.

no mery. just go out there and kill them.

come on bynum show everyone why you belong here.

If we win it's not going to be by more than a few points, games with the Celtics in Boston are always close until the end or THEY blow us out.

The Lakers are 1-6 against the top 5 teams in the NBA, and they have been behind by 13+ pts in 5 of those 6 losses. Factor in the trade distractions, Bynum not being at full strength, a disinterested Gasol, and a bench that is at best inconsistent, and I can't see the Lakers winning this.

I except Boston to build a big lead sometime in the second half, probably during the 3rd quarter where the Lakers seem to perform the worst but it could also happen in the 4th quarter.

I could be wrong, perhaps the Lakers are finally motivated and will play better defense along with a more disciplined offense, but so far there's nothing to indicate they have turned the corner or are especially interested in winning this game.

It's going to be close. All these predictions of a Lakers blowout are wishful thinking.

i mean this one is just as it reads.. it is going to be a really tough emotional game.
I think we really need to get the win here tonight. this is an important game to boost morale and emotions.

we're overdue for a win against a quality team. hopefully tonight's the night.
